Greene and Powell!!! Athens is gonna be hot!!! Those guys were neck and neck...Greene and Powell appeared to clip each other with their arms about mid-race...

Results:
Wind: -0.5m/s
1. Asafa Powell (JAM) 9.93
2. Maurice Greene (USA) 9.94
3. Justin Gatlin (USA) 10.06
4. Leonard Scott (USA) 10.07
5. Francis Obikwelu (POR) 10.10
6. John Capel (USA) 10.11
7. Kim Collins (SKN) 10.21
8. Coby Miller (USA) 10.25

Asafa just got the nod as he outdipped Mo on the line...Those two are gonna be hard to seperate come Athens...Mo said that he needs a complete race to beat Asafa...Whatever happens Athens is gonna be great...If Gatlin can get some kind of start put together he could threaten for the major medals...

By the way where is Crawford??? Shouldn't he be getting some kind of racing done before Athens???

The difference was apparently in the reaction times.

You're right Dan, the reaction times were pretty much which decided the race...

Powell at 0.139
Greene at 0.147

Results are in:

http://run-down.com/fantasy/index.php?go=full_results

New leader atop the list for the first time since week 2.

I coulda told you top-10 wasn't realistic ... making #20 ain't bad at all, though. I moved up one whole spot... Coulda been worse, given the late scratches and having 2 or 3 athletes just miss scoring by one spot.

Not too shabby a move ... Now I'm within spitting distance of #15 !!! I've scored 1000+ points the last 3 meets in a row ... I could still make top 10 ... And some of them are starting to falter a tad ... Wink

Has anyone seen my mobility? Neutral

I figure I lost 500-650 points in scratches... I'm sure I'm not the only one that suffered that fate, though.

The Fighting Warthogs were last seen in the vicinity of ineptitude moving rapidly toward hopeless oblivion.

I need a martini. Sad

Let's start with the idiotic pick of Devers in the 100. But even without that pick I have 0 points from Shawn Crawford, Sammy Kipketer, Chandra Sturrup and Gabriela Szabo. All of them were good bets for decent point totals this year. I also took Lorraine Fenton in the 400. She is ranked 3rd in the world but hasn't been in any of our meets. Does anyone know what is going on with her, Sturrup or Szabo? And I thought Andre Bucher would have more than just 85 points too this year.

Latasha Colander
MOnique Henderson
David Krummenaker
Steve Mullings (in two events)

Webb doesn't surprise me. Remember I said early on that he looks like a great Fantasy value but likely wouldn't show up in any of the meets, due to my early peaking prediction...
