Mens 400 Final: Place Your Bets! (Possible Mens 200 Spoiler) (Read 249 times)

runner92 Just Be posted: 8/20/2008 at 3:22 PM Who do you think will take down Michael Johnson's world record? Merritt? Wariner? Someone else? I have a strong feeling that his last remaining record will fall. My Running Log | Blog of Running Lore

That would be interesting to watch, though! It is pretty hard to stop a speeding train. Don’t be so sure that he won’t still be running tomorrow from the 200m event. Just kidding of course. http://runningahead.com/profiles/69d214e40d824ad0b0a73c925d655a13

jEfFgObLuE view log Frustrating Project posted: 8/20/2008 at 6:06 PM I think Wariner will win. He looked so smooth. However, it will be a real tight race between him and LaShawn Merritt. I don't think the record is gonna fall. 20th Century: 800m: 2:04 |1600m: 4:37 |3200m: 10:06 |5k: 16:23 |10k: 35:38 |15k: 54:20 25k: 1:35:59 21st Century: 5k: 19:42 |10k: 43:00 "Do not allow children to mix drinks.

runner92 Just Be posted: 8/21/2008 at 12:23 PM Well, the race is in 1 hour. I'm hoping Warner and Merritt will push each other extra hard given the stage and the quest for olympic gold, and that at least 1 of them will break MJ's world record... it's about time for that last one to go down. I think Merritt will take the gold from Wariner. My Running Log | Blog of Running Lore

jEfFgObLuE view log Frustrating Project posted: 8/21/2008 at 1:19 PM Here's a another question. USA sweep? I'm guessing no -- Wariner and Merritt (or will it be Merritt and Warriner?) will go 1-2, but I'm not feeling bronze. 20th Century: 800m: 2:04 |1600m: 4:37 |3200m: 10:06 |5k: 16:23 |10k: 35:38 |15k: 54:20 25k: 1:35:59 21st Century: 5k: 19:42 |10k: 43:00 "Do not allow children to mix drinks.

runner92 Just Be posted: 8/21/2008 at 1:27 PM Doesn't look good for a sweep. The only other USA contender is David Neville and his times are about average compared to the rest of the pack, so it'll probably be luck of the draw with respect to 3rd place. I missed the race!! Stupid real life responsibility! GRRRR!! Now I need to wait for the IAAF to post the results. My Running Log | Blog of Running Lore
