By the way...didn't Asafa pull up in a race with a hamstring injury 2 weeks before Trials?

Nope...not really, takes a lot more than wind to ratify a time but they set a maximum wind behind the athletes where anything over that is deemed illegal and this is for anything run in the straightway or 200m as well as the long/triple jumps.
They say 2.0 metres per second wind behind you is the maximum allowable for the time/distance to be legal.
And if the wind is in your face they will accept any measurement
Interestingly if a man jumped say 8.74m with a 3.0 wind he will beat the man who jumped 8.72m with the legal wind..makes no sense to me but so it goSolidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.

Wrong again...Diamond League money fixed...well except if your name is Usain Bolt, the rules change for you.
The Diamond league is a big cover for the IAAF and Meet organisers to run a cartel and collude on how much they pay athletes..Solidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.

Luv it!
...but if he is injury free, this time my money is on ASAFA!
Bolt is running poorly by his standard and there is just no time for him to get back to his best.
ASAFA in 9.69 seconds or thereabouts!!!
btw - a set of good (not great) baton exchanges should see a new 4 x 100M World record."Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

True Bolt is running below his standard but even third rate he is better than anybody else...Asafa will finish behind Bot once moreSolidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.
