Gay, Powell - The race

[Gamma]

but mi nuh think him can tek bolt tho....

[Jangle]

all I know is that Asafa looks more relaxed than Gay in that race.

[Willi]

LoL. Cool, Comprende.

[Baddaz]

based on past performances, no... however, on any given day anything can happen at this level... a physically and mentally fit asafa can beat anybody...

[Gamma]

and that is not necessarily in asafa'a favour.

[Stonigut]

Wow, that is unbelievable, power, form and finish, Kerron is going to be hard to beat, this is what I have been looking for all season, i was really surprised how Fraser beat her at National Champs.

damn karl... i was just about to post a similar observation... i watched the race about 10 times to see if i was actually seeing right...

here is the high def version of the race... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv9yS6SfYSE

i see something different with asafa that i did not see before... he accelerated to gay and eased off... i think he knows he could have gone by him...

i am hoping that i am right because that burst from asafa at about 6.8 - 7.4 secs in the race is the difference with asafa... perhaps he figures he doesn't have to win every race... this is the best i've seen asafa in a long time...

Perhaps running from behind is good?!
In his hey day he just about always led.
