Tebogo is an X factor. His mom's sad passing could be negative for his performance but then again, if he goes out there and runs his heart out for his mother, there's no telling what might happen but it could be magical!

[@jamezkpal2361]

She is mechanical perfection at top speed. I've noticed (or imagined) that she has a tendency to want to hop out of the blocks instead of push out of them. I don't think I've ever seen her scoot her toe. Sometimes, when she jumps out, she loses her balance, sometimes more than slightly. I think when she does that, she sometimes overcorrects, leading to a ragged, slow start and a delayed drive. When she doesn't do that, you get 10.65.

[@scott-richardson]

Agreed. She really winds up and produces a ton of downforce and power into the track which propels her across the track. Strong glutes! Would be amazing if she could just refine that first 10m, especially the first 3 steps. I'm sure her coach is all over it with her.

[@CYMotorsport]

2:15 it’s called “dumb money”. Attracts bets to either side of the line triggering wagers to happen thus moving the line. Wanna bet it closes to parity by the time they get to Paris? Thats how it works. I’ll happily eat crow but that line will be even in 3 weeks between a Noah and Kishane. Happens all the time. Said it before I’ll say it again… an athlete like Kishane with only one responsibility and in his specialty no less is dangerous. Especially when you have a doubler like Noah, a shortened sprinting program to just 5 days, and now repechage rounds. You love to cite Noah’s ability to go fast in the semis… if he goes to deep waters worrying himself with glory heat victories like he did racing Kenny to the line in an early round, he may be paying for that later. It’s a weak 200m field so if he can pull off the upset, bc let’s get real beating Kishane is an upset, he’s going to thrash the field in the 2. But if Kishane executes, which I would wager he will given how incredibly effective his program was this taper, so long as Noah is smart and mentally prepared to accept a podium, he should be in great shape to finish strong. I still think had he not doubled in Paris he’d knock on the door of the world record for the 2. There’s a reason no one can replicate Bolt’s ability to double at the Games. His ability to manage the entire competition is unmatched. The discipline to run fast only when required is an overlooked skill. I hope Noah dusts Kishane all the way off. But he’s the exact same age bolt was when he arrived and beat the brakes off the field coming from seemingly no where in the 100 never under 9.84 ish until the record setting final. Unfortunately for Noah, this may be that time for Kishane. Noah has the pace to challenge. It’s just the 200m he’ll need some legs for. The one thing in Noah’s favor is we really don’t know what Kishane will do with someone at his heels hawking him down. My man Wallace spearmon made many sprinters crumble down the stretch hearing footsteps. But that’s the scary thing… Kishane still hasn’t shown full beans just yet. Not entirely. And Noah’s race depends on closing speed. It’s looking like Kishane closes similar to Noah… and has a good start haha idk how you beat that. If someone can it’ll be Noah in that field but that’s probably it. It’s going to be a ridiculous 2 weeks of racing can’t wait hope you’re covering it through to final ceremony !

Why is why he’s so strong at the 200m and through rounds. 100m is different but over possibly 4 rounds only one man can beat him on speed alone and it’s bc imo it’s so much greater than Noah’s over 100m.

He's been doing it since world juniors where he won 100m gold doing the same thing. He's done it so many times now against the best that he's gotten very confident that he can run anyone down. Kishane and Oblique will have to get out front and stay out front if they are to win cause this guys will be in the mix at the end. If they both run sub 9.8 then they're gonna pull Lyles to sub 9.8 as well cause he normally comes through just before the line. The meet in London this weekend should give us a glimpse of what Lyles been working on in practice since Kishane showed out in Jamaica so it should be a good watch.

Lyles has been proving doubters wrong his whole career, and he has proven it on the world stage. KT hasn’t, Seville hasn’t, so despite what happened in Jamaica this season, at the trials, or between Seville and Lyles, Seville and KT both have to prove they can handle the pressure on the world stage before they can be considered favourites.

Beyond that, I don't think guys like DeGrasse, Kerley or Jacobs have a chance of winning this time around, but who knows? You can never fully write off a previous champion. For the women's 100m, while I personally would love seeing Fraser-Pryce win again, I don't think it's gonna happen.

The last couple years Lyles has been close to unbeatable especially in the big meets. His confidence is unrivaled. I think Lyles will know how to make sure he runs what he needs to run when he needs it because of experience and being on the biggest stage will only help him. As he relishes the limelight.

KISHANE THOMPSON FOR THE WIN 🏆 💯

[@TheWayWithKhuwayne]

On paper, Kishane Thompson should be the Gold medalist from these Olympic Games. However, things can happen including injuries, weather, nerves and the experience you have at competitions. I'm sure Kishane & Seville have been preparing and will be giving their best at Paris. The question really comes down if they can replicate these times when the medals at stake on the big stage. However, when you look at someone like Lyles, who many have consistently doubted him or posed someone else to beat him at major championships, Noah over the past 2 years always prevails. I don't believe Noah has reached his peak in the 100 or 200 this season and I think we may see more improvements from Lyles at the Olympics. I also think Marcell Jacobs has a very good chance to medal considering his consistency this year, his victory at Europeans and the lack of injuries his picked up. He may dip under his PB and be in the mix too. There are many names that can be a contender for the Gold medal but we will have to wait and see what happens from the heats onwards.
