Hylton - heats 44.5 -finals 44.9.

Spence - 44.8 - Gunz 44.2 in the finals.

Thanks Willi, that's great information, but whatt is especially interesting is the difference in the splits.

Ah mean Fothergill is a serious youth, literally no drop off at all 45.3 to 45.4 on the flat from a stationary start.

Then Hylton fe a youngster showing some real potential 44.5 to 44.9 still a significant drop off but still very good
Then Gunz at 44.2 did what is expected, seems like he should have the potential to go 43.8 but i understand his leg was a pretty strategic one and needed to finish strong which he did.

Green's falloff was very significant 44.5 to 45.4 that is almost a full second so maybe nerves lik him or we seeing a falloff after the rounds of the 400H and the fast semi, anyway overall very impressive.

If Ryker can step it up a notch and get into the mid 44's and Chambers can come back into that range and Green and Fothergill can keep improving that is one hell of a 4*4 base for next year, that will give Bolt's team the confidence to tun him in the final for the possibility of the fourth gold in London.

I found some info on what Bolt has done on the 4 x 4 relay.

We do know there is the possibility that he can repeat his 100/200M - 9.58/19.19 speed. He can get to that range and go out in the 400M while he is 'there' (that shape)...who knows what he would do? ...but a 42 change 400 split would be on the cards.

Your idea of putting him in the 4 x 4 depending on his shape, the schedule and the rest of the TEAM (...i.e. our chance for medal in that race) in Olympics 2012 does seem like a good idea.

Ryker and Leford had tough long college seasons and hence have problems repeating fast times.
