i ent worried about burns beating frater and dix, burns if anything will get 2nd or 3rd in his heat but it will be a fast heat, dont be surprised to see someone run a 9.8 in this race

thompson is smooth sailing once again, i looking for him to win this heat easy

Why dey do dat?

[Aviator]

Why dey do dat?

To make it more balanced and they had too many Jamaicans in the first semis. You can't have so much of the same nationality in any round except for the final.
