First off the US Trials competition in the sprints is as tough, if not
tougher, than the games themselves .. You have to run fast in order to get a
shot at the Olympics .. There are no free rides .. You have to be ready to
perform on the day .. So excuse these poor athletes for being prepared when
it counted .. European races mean nothing this year except as paydays .. IF
you area an American sprinter there are two times this year when you
have/had to be at your absolute best - the Trials and the Games .. Period ..
That mean trying to peak or come close to peak twice - not the easiest of
endeavors if you know anything about peaking for performance ..
