i know that the qualifying just started, but why didn't they hype him at all in advance? i mean they've hyped everyone else.

could be a lot of reasons...most of the attention went to Phelps, all the track attention went to Bolt/Gay/Powell, but more likely, Wariner is pretty boring and lacks personality. I haven't liked him since he dumped Clyde Hart (greatest 400m coach ever, MJ's coach, his coach at Baylor) over the winter, just before the OLYMPIC GAMES over a contrct dispute. Hope Lashawn Merrit nips him at the wire.

warnier disn't look smooth like he did in 04. i think he worked harder than he wanted to move to the second round. merritt looked Very Smooth and relaxed.

he regrets the change already. he's not the same. based on the first round, merritt will beat warnier by 2 steps. IMO
even shawn crawford went back to his old coach for the 200.

maybe thats why he wasn't hyped, because everyone knows he isn't the same as before and likely to get dusted this time.

Merrit and Wariner just dropped 44.12 and 44.15, respectively, in the semifinal.

This thread is getting lewd and lascivious.

I'm not sure what lascivious means.



I'm not watching it,...the female sprinters give me woodies.
