GAY vs. THE WOLRD

Watching the the 100 meter dash at the 2008 Reebok Grand Prix, i was happy and disappointed at the same time. I was happy to see Usain Bolt break the world record. It was cool to see the record broken live. That was cool. At the same time, I was disappointed to see the USA fall in the 100 meter dash once again. Our dominance in 100 meter dash is slowly slipping away to the Jamaicans. As you can see, we run the 200 meter and the 400m for right now, and with Bernard Lagat running for the USA, America can show promise in the 1500, 3000, or the 5000. As for the 100 meter dash, i want to the US on top in Beijing. After seeing that race, I still believe Tyson Gay can and will be victorious at the Olympics. The USA has to claim the 100 meter dash again. The USA is known for its dominat sprinters like Gay, Spearman, Wariner, Merritt just to name a few. Its a month before the trials, and Tyson is on his way to peak performance. I want to watch Gay claim the 100 and 200 meter double in Beijing.

Merritt edges out Wariner

This past weekend, the world witnessed something of epic proportions. Jeremy Wariner was beat by Rival competitor Lashawn Merritt. Earlier in the outdoor season, I got a chance to see Lashawn Merritt run the nations fastest time in the world at the Raleigh Relays. It was pretty cool to see a professional run a low 44. I didn't think a sub 45 second 400 looked like that. Watching the race, Merritt looked real smooth especially in that last 100. This is real promising. Beijing looks to be heated in the 400 meter dash. I'm looking for them to break the 4x400 meter relay record. I'm a real big Michael Johnson fan. I don't know if Johnson's 400 meter record will be standing after this season. I hope so, because I want to break those records.
