the women’s 100m is so hard to pick.. with Veronica Campbell Brown out… it’s wide open.. however, i disagree with Torri Edwards.. i don’t think she will medal at all… lil Lauryn will come out clutch as she always does.
the women’s 4X1 will be close if felix is healthy.. if not, it’s jamaica’s
women’s 200m.. same thing about felix.. but even if felix is in veronica campbell has improved a lot this year in the 2, and with her not being in the 100, she’ll focus on teh 2.. last olympics i remember her talking about how she set up her race specifically thinking how to beat felix.. felix is better now, but so i campbell, the question is felix’ health…
.. how about Janet Jepkosgei in the women’s 800.. she’s the defending world champ.. and though she’s only been above average… it’s right about time for her to round into form
