Men's 100m who do y'all have finishing top 3?

[Heliopolis]

1. Yohan Blake...dude is in great form and is confident after defeating Bolt twice in the Jamaican trials. He also might have an added edge knowing he's out-worked Bolt the past 4 years (his work ethic is so great that Bolt nicknamed him "The Beast").

2. Bolt...he's still the best on the planet IMO but his reportedly poor work ethic and recent spell of injuries raises serious doubts about his conditioning coming into today. I dont buy the argument that he's easing into the Olympics and will just 'turn it on' as if his body is a light switch. He'll still run a 9.80ish time easily but I dont think he's in top form (while Blake is).

3. Justin Gaitlin...he is back and apparently dope free. Dude has been killing it this year and ran a 9.80 in the U.S. trials and cruised to a sub 10 second time yesterday in the first round. If he runs a 9.80 again he'll finish on the podium.

Tyson Gay is ofcourse a medal favorite but that guy is always injured and hasnt posted numbers anywhere close to the numbers posted by the guys above this year.

Asafa Powell is such a likeable guy but will unfortunately go down as one of the biggest chokers the 100m has ever seen. He's had injury problems this year. I dont think he'll be battling much pre-race jitters today like he has in the past because there wont be much spotlight on him but he's clearly not as good as he was pre-2008.

This race is far more unpredictable than the women's 100m. It'd be silly to make any predictions before seeing what happens in the semies. 100m dash is essentially about psychological warfare. The guy that wins isn't necessarily the fastest but the one doesnt get psyched out and executes his own race the best. This is why Asafa Powell has never won a world title. For the first time in a long time you have four mentally impregnable guys in there all of whom are in form and all of whom already have world or olympic titles under their belts. Of the four guys in contention, Blake right now looks the most likely to win. Gay and Gatlin are genuine contenders simply because both are such fierce competitors. Gay has not run that fast in terms of times but he has beaten Gatlin this year coming from behind to win. The guy's top end speed is unrivaled in T&F history. Ive even seen him run Usain Bolt down when on form. Gatlin is determined and crazy enough to do it again Ryan Bailey has all the hallmarks of a Jon Smith athlete - self belief and superior technique. Bolt is Bolt.The Greatest of all time. Should be intriguing and fast

[kalamashaka]

1. Bolt...no rationale, he's just the one I want to win it Watched the documentary about him recently and dude works as hard as anyone else.

2. Blake...he'll either win it or come 2nd...only way he doesn't is if he get's DQ'd

3. Gay...

i don't know who will win this but i know who will win the 100*4 relays.

[sabb]

dunno mehn, yohan, bolt, bailey

[Comrade Machel]

I want Bolt to win and Asafa Powell to come second. Don't know why i have liked Asafa Powell as a person for some time. Incidentally he is also most liked of the sprinters in their native Jamaica.

I hope this Yohan Blake doesnt spoil Usain's day

8 years suspension for Gatlin that was later reduced to 4 because he snitched is different from a 3 months ban for methylxanthine that Blake was suspended for. And Gatlin was a repeat offender and got off a life ban via politics and technicality.
