2009 World Championships of T&F Predictions

I really hope no one takes this personal...this is what I think will happen based off of what it is that I know and have seen.

Mens - 100m

1. Tyson Gay (just looks great right now)
2. Usain Bolt (I think is too overly confident & isnt taken competition serious)
3. Daniel Bailey (has been getting better & better)
**keep an eye on Mike Rodger... has a chance to surprise for 3rd if he runs the rounds correctly
**I do think 3rd is wide open here!

Womens - 100m

1. Kerron Stewart (seems to have found herself in this event)
2. Carmelita Jeter (should win but history isnt on her side)
3. Lauryn Williams (shows up when it matters)
**as much as I love VCB I think she comes up short :(
**Muna may surprise for 3rd

Mens - 200m

1. Usain Bolt (will regain focus and win this one)
2. Tyson Gay (will run well but come up a little short)
3. Wallace Speamon (only if he gets a good start & runs the damn turn correctly...if not Crawford will be 3rd)

Womens - 200m

1. Allyson Felix (untouchable right now I believe in this event)
2. Veronica Campbell-Brown (close battle but takes 2nd)
3. Muna Lee ( wind aided my ass...22.13 out of lane 1 is f'n flying!
**I think this may be the first time in a while if ever we see 3 ladies go sub 22
**Debbie runs great but gets 4th...I still love you!

Mens 400m -

1. Lashwan Merritt (this guy is getting older and wiser dont see him losing)
2. Jeremy Wariner (getting back to running the way he has but doesnt quite get it here)
3.Chris Brown (as long as he doesnt try to run a Pr in the first round)
**anyone else gets top 3 I will be surprised

Womens 400m

1. Shericka Williams (has got faster and faster thru the year)
2. Sanya Richards (favorite yes and should win...but what does the past show)
3. I honestly cant call this one here...sorry but where is Christine Ohuruogu?

Mens 110h

1. Terrence Trammell (if healthy, only person that can run that second half as needed to win)
2. Dayron Robles (close finish but comes up just short)
3. David Payne (until he shows me he "cant" get a medal...
**Where is the china man! LOL

Womens 100h

1. Dawn Harper (Bobby Kersey has coached the winner of each major hurdle final since 2004
2. Priscilla Lopes-Schliep (Running fast and constant)
3. Damu Cherry (Finally gets that medal...so close last year)

Mens - 400h

I honestly cant do this event...Sorry LMAO

Womens - 400h

1. Lashinda Demus (as long as she aint out of gas)
2. Melaine Walker (runs great but Demus is on a mission)
3. Williams, Danvers, Tosta, Jesien...toss it up in the air and catch a name.

Mens 4x100

1. USA (only if they run this relay in this order and dont drop the stick...Crawford, Gay, Patton, Rodgers)
2.Jamaica (whoever anchors wont catch the USA if they do what I said)
3. Trinidad (much speed but not enough to catch the others)

Womens 4x100

1. USA (only if they run this order...Williams, Felix, Lee, Jeter
2. Jamaica (only because of the lean at the tape)
3. Russia or Poland

Mens 4x400

1. USA (even if they drop the stick they win)
2. Bahamas
3. Great Britain

Womens 4x400

I will keep this short...If Russia or Jamaica put out 4 legs that are ready to roll the USA women will lose. I dont think they deep enough this time around. If they run Dunn, Felix, Hastings, Richards they have a chance and it will be close like last year. So...

1. USA
2. Russia
3. Jamaica
