It's been a while since we've headed towards a Major and I've felt we had a real shot at a medal in the middle distances on the women's side.

In Berlin, the women's 200 has the potential to upstage the 100 as two of the world's best sprinters happen to be competing in this event - Allyson Felix (US) and Veronica Campbell Brown (JAM).
