Some of my thoughts following Edmonton:
Men's 100
Greene is the best ever in the event .. Times, averages, consistency,
competitiveness he has it all .. The question now is whether Montgomery is
for real or is he the Andre Cason of 2001 ?? If he is for real he Greene and
Williams could form the greatest trio in history ..
Men's relays
While the rest of the world may be catching up in individual events, the US
is still too deep for everyone else ...
Women's relays
Ditto on the women's 4x1 - too much foot speed for the rest of the world ..
And the women's 4x4 showed much heart but more importantly the most class of
the meet as they gave the most gracious losing interview I have ever seen ..
Men's horizontal jumps
Thank God for old men Pedroso and Edwards .. When they leave mediocrity will
reign ...
Women's 100/200
Jones appears flat all season .. Need for coaching change ?? OR has she
peaked ?? 2 more weeks and Miller may have given her another defeat at 200
!?!
Women's Pole Vault
IS FOR REAL !!! Great job by the women vaulters ..
Women's 400
Perhaps Grit Breuer is past her prime as well .. Should have dominated this
group but instead failed to medal .. Katharine Merry the future of the event
?? Should Jones run here ???
Men's 200/400
No Greene, no Johnson, no Washington, no Harrisons NO LUCK !! Should be just
a blip on the map for the US as injuries decimated here ..
Men's and Women's 800
One word for the US .. HELP !!!!
Men's Middle Distances
Here's hoping Webb and Ritzenhieim and Hall mature quickly !!
Women's 100H
Model for the US as the old and the new blended perfectly and there will
apparently be no drop off in production as we transition when Gail decides
to retire ..
The Worlds
Was a hard meet to get up for for some reason .. The first couple of days
were very exciting as the 100 men burned up the track .. But things cooled
off and seemed to stay that way .. Didn't seem to have the usual electricity
associated with the Worlds .. Was nice however to see TV coverage that
featured competition over fluff !!!
On to Zurich !!!!
