Well, London is going to be hot in the short sprints. In the women&#8217;s 100, Shelly Ann Fraser wins in 10.70 (+0.6) over VCB (10.82), Kerron Stewart (10.94), and Sherone Simpson (11.01). So there&#8217;s your 3 for London, plus relay &#8211; more than likely.<\/p>\n<p>On the men&#8217;s side we get an &quot;upset&quot; as Yohan Blake wins in a PR 9.75 (+1.1) over Usain Bolt (9.86), Asafa Powell (9.88), and Michael Frater (9.94). Their 3 for London plus relay &#8211; again more than likely. I haven&#8217;t seen video yet, so hard to comment on the race. As soon as I can find video I&#8217;ll upload and comment.<\/p>\n<p>For now I&#160; will say that A) Jeter v Fraser will produce the fastest race ever outside of that US Trials 10.49 by FloJo, and B) Gatlin, Gay, Blake, Bolt, Powell roll produce the fastest ever 1 thru 5 finish in history. I will also say that Trials results mean little with respect to Olympic results. <\/p>\n<p>The goal at everyone&#8217;s Trials is to make it to the Olympics. There is still time for everyone to further their preparations. So no medals are given out this week. I say that because I know there are those wondering about Bolt; or ready to anoint Blake; or questioning Gay; or critiquing what Gatlin can or can&#8217;t do. All have done well and have time to do better.The last two Olympic champions BOTH lost their Trials races &#8211; Bolt to Powell in &#8217;08, and Gatlin to Greene in &#8217;04. I think that in itself says it all.<\/p>\n<p>Now let me take a look at US Trials. Be back in a bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before I get to our Trials, everyone had been waiting on the Jamaica Trials to see what the sprinters there are doing.
