Ah know is only opinions but Track and Field News picking Great Britain ahead of TnT is ignorance.  More than likely Great Britain will NOT beat TnT.

Maybe they thought Chambers would be on that team lol. He won't and neither will Mark Lewis Francis (injured) who at least can say he held off Maurice Greene on anchor in 2004.  Utter rubbish, innit? as they themsleves would say.  :rotfl:

I like her and she went up a notch in my book making that USA 200 team no one had her picked pre trials to make that team she is not a 200 runner per se but she was so upset at not making the 100 team.

Surprised Jon Drummond does not have her starting better. When she does she will be a huge star.

Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads.

We are most definitely in with a shot for a medal in the 4x100m relay. Those are just some generic picks from TFN
