They claim to be the Track and Field "bible". Has TT only winning one medal (Jehue Gordon) at the World Championships. I believe they also predicted that TT will only win one medal (Men 4x100) in London Olympics.

Their predictions are made as of April 2013. Maybe the predictions might change by July.

Did they see Wallcott winning gold in London? I sure the answer is no. That said,  we really have no stand out sprinters to compete. 100m is a a long shot. 200m no hope.

I think 400m, Relays and Javelin is our only hope.

Imagine they put Drop stick GBR ahead of us in the 4x100m.

Yeah..

I predict 4-6 medals. This is the year our ladies will finally pull it off in the 4x100.

Dont rule out KAB..Last year in London she wasnt 100%. She is definitely a strong medal contender in the 100. Certainly in top 5.

Shoot I forgot about her. Was more referring to the men 100m. Unless Thompson and Bledman do something spectacular.

Funny thing is that Bleds was nursing in London too. Wasnt 100%. Regardless, he will have to dig deep to get past, Gatlin, Gay and Rodgers. Before Bledman got injured, I had him to run in the range of 9.79-9.82 in London. Lets pray that we get a TT surprise in the mens 100m..

I think we will witness TT best performance in World Championship this year

Regarding KAB and KB - HOT OFF THE PRESS:

Gay 19.79, Ashmeade 9.91, Baptiste 22.63 in Florida
Trackalerts |    Sunday, 12 May 2013 18:44    
 
Nickel Ashmeade CLERMONT, Florida - US record holder and 100m world leader Tyson Gay showed his impressive shape at Classic meet in Florida with fast windy 19.79 (+2.5) 200m run.

It was his only second 200m race in the post 2010 period. Second was German Julian Reus 20.45 and in another race Curtis Mitchell did 20.45 (+3.3).

In the 100m, Jamaican Nickel Ashmeade ran 9.91 (+3.8) in the heats, but German Martin Keller won the final in 9.99 (+3.7) ahead of Reus 10.00.
Trinidad´s Keston Bledman 10.14 (+2.0) also did well in the short sprint.

Cayman Islands Ronald Forbes won the 110m hurdles in 13.31 (+2.1) over German Erik Balnuweit (13.32) who equaled his best in heats with 13.46 (+1.5). In another heat, former Jamaican record holder Dwight Thomas got 13.39 (+0.6).

In women sprints, Kelly-Ann Baptiste of Trinidad won the 200 m in 22.63 (+6.3) while in the 100m, US Chastity Riggien got 11.24 (+1.4) ahead of Gloria Asumnu 11.27. They clocked faster times in heats but wind-aided 11.14 (+2.5) and 11.20 (+2.7).

Bledos DNF in the final of that meet, which usually means injury, but I hope its not so.

way too early to predict.

i expect the following to make finals (or have a very good shot)and then anything can happen (ask keshorn about anything could happen).
men
100: bledman
400: lalonde gordon, lendore (once he is not burn out with college circuit)
4x1
4x4
400hurdles:jehue
110m hurdles: davis

women
100:KAB
4x1

others such as borel, aleesa barber, sorillo, torpedo, MLA, selvon, sparkle, making semis and could squeeze in a final.
