What does it say when your 100 meter sprint man at the start of the season and not in top shape beats one of the best 400 Jakan runners by a full second, is this not a shameful thing, it has to be, even pride alone, if i was Ayre I would make sure I finish in front of Asafa, even if it kill me.

Tru dat!

Perhaps Sanjay not fully over his Oly injury yet?

[Stonigut]

If that is the case then is just a matter of finishing the race and feeling like he has run somewhat competitively but otherwise @#$%^&*((())

Sanje Ayre?

Thanks for posting these results, Willi.

As usual, a very good comment, Stonigut.

The only silver lining I see on Jamaica’s 400 and 4x400-meter relay horizon is Michael Frater’s decision to move up to the 400-meter event. Aside from that, look for the same half-assed performance by our guys! (I still get very angry just by merely thinking of Beijing and that final Olympic Games track event!)

By the way, I am fully aware of the fact that Jamaica’s upcoming track stars all prefer the glamorous 100- and 200-meter sprint events. Nevertheless….

I did not hear that Frater decided to go run the 400, I am not sure I agree with that move at all, I would be extremely surprised if he can get close to the same level of competitiveness as he has in the 100, however I am very well aware that he is a proud man and a warrior at heart, so go chase the dream my youth, run hard and good luck!!

Frater moving up to the 400m?????!!!! Thanks for that breaking news Historian.

[Baddaz]

wow... that is breaking news... ia not him alone... nuff who a run 100 and 200 sprints should move up to the 400... and many in the 400 should move to the 800... even a few of our 200m runners really should move up to the 800m... i believe we have too many fringe sprinters in the short sprints...

thanks to bolt... him a chase nuff a dem out of the short sprints...
