anyone think this is worth lumping on?

It is not a sealed deal, while you would expect him to blow off the cobwebs and come out on top, commentators are saying it could be the first ever final where all finalists will run sub 10 seconds.

Michael Johnston was saying he could see Bolt running 9.3 seconds giving us a new world record,

Bolt to win and world record double?

I don't know who I heard saying it, could be the same guy, but said if Bolt sorted out his start he could break the World record again. I wouldn't put it past him tbh.

Avoid like the plague. You wont get WR in London. Between climate and the fact that despite running better than last year he is not in 9.5 shape atm. I think he will win but quickest I can see is probably 9.6 mids.

There could be a bit of mid games going on but I still dont think its possible. With Blake's pressences you are going to have Bolt a little more tense in terms of his start so he wont be repeating Beijing

Yes I never took the obvious into consideration you are right about the climate conditions.

It looks like they had a good start today, they lie in second place after 2 races.

Just checked the odds now and only 2 bookies have odds up for it but William Hill have them at 7/2 for gold and Ladbrokes at 4/1 for gold
so they must of had a great start today.

Sun Yang to win the 200m free is 5/2. Crackin price. Sure he's got Lochte to beat but the man is a machine.

Does anyone know anything about China's Ye Shiwen

She is swimming in the womens 200m IM

http://www.paddypower.com/bet/swimmi...e_racing_css=N

She is favourite at 5/6 but given the below info, looks a safe bet.

The "interesting" thing is that in the 400IM in her last leg she swam fast than Ryan Lochte the american swimmer

http://blogs.denverpost.com/sports/2...-lochte/22522/

Im presuming its the same girl

That's a cracking price. Her only competition is steph rice who had a horrible swim yesterday and coutts who just grabbed a bronze tonite without looking spectacular. All over it.

Suspicions of How a 16 year old swims faster than Lochte is mad.

I'd say if he/she gets the medal presented they can't get it back

I've gone for this myself based on a boxer coming through. I'm more confident about medals rather than gold medals if I'm being honest
