TheKingObv 10,860 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Gold, Silver and Bronze at the olymics right there.Nah. Gatlin and Gay will both finish ahead of Powell.Really not surprised Blake beat Bolt. His 19.26 200m (second fastest ever) last year was one of the best things I've seen in athletics. The guy is in insane form, and Bolt has been struggling with his start and general consistency.Powell doesn't seem to have the bottle for the big races, and will no doubt choke.Gatlin ran a 9.80 the other week in the US trials, beating Gay who ran 9.85. Insane performance from Gay who has only run 4 times in the past year due to an operation. He will get a lot faster before the olympics. And I doubt there is anyone hungier than Gatlin for a medal after his drugs ban.I reckon it will finish1.Bolt2.Blake3.Gay4.Gatlin5.Powell6.Bledman / some other CaribbeanAlso, Blake goes up against Bolt in the 200m later tonight Definite golden era in Men's sprinting.

caseyjones 3,009 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 You seem to have missed Dwain Chambers The testers didn't! Bolt appears to be struggling mentally with the start after his disqualification at the World Championships. He was a mile behind the field and had no chance of making it up on an on-fire Blake.

TheKingObv 10,860 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Blake beat Bolt in the 200m as well.19.80 to 19.83. Outrageously talented. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxo1873 201 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Just watched "can anyone beat Bolt" that Blake looks very, very good but i still see Bolt taking Gold at the Olympics, with Blake right behind him and Gatlin 3rd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertz123 598 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The documentary on Bolt was pretty good. He admitted a few times that Blake trained harder than him so maybe he has overtaken him, time will tell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblueal 2,117 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Bolt, Blake, Gay for the podium in that order. Wonder what the odds are for getting the medal order? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weshallnotbemoved! 714 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 With the spotlight firmly on the Jamaicans, this is shaping up nicely for an American win in the 100m.I can see Bolt being third with Blake second. This is Tyson Gay's year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
