    Unfortunately have to take Bolt on here. I know he had that good run in London last week over the 200m but even that he looked like he was struggling a little bit at the end.

    Looks underdone to me but never write off a champ. But at those odds Gatlin in both the 100m and 200m looks good.

    Sine Bolt always has a bad start, Gatlin is a good bet only for the 100m race imo. When Bolt starts to run after 50-60 meters, noone is outrunning him. Gatlin should make enough difference in those first 50 meters if he wants the gold. But he has no chance at the 200m race.

    The odds are saying this too, Bold is -160 at 100m, and -250 for 200m race

    Bolt should be under 9.8 in the finals gaitlin has got to have the best run of his life. Bolt skipped opening ceremonies. Not a good sign. He might be distracted from the race. All in all no bet with this for me. Rather bet Kate ledery wins four. Medals in swimming....

    Gatlin's times have been better this year. Bolt's cocky "been there done that" attitude makes its seem like he isn't as hungry enough this year. I am betting Gatlin.

    I put $10 on Blake which would pay roughly $220 on 5Dimes. I doubt it will hit, but it is worth a $10 risk.

    The Popular Mechanics magazine has told how Justin Gatlin was preparing to the battle with Usain Bolt. It appears that his run was studied by the best bio mechanics from the USA. They have made the most detailed analysis pointed out the weakest points. The scientists have optimized literally each movement of Gatlin in order he could improve his results. To record the run of the athlete were used the special cameras that are capable to write down even 300 shots per second. It is enough to trace every wing beat of a humming bird. Thanks to these researches Gatlin really has changed the way he runs and considerably improved his start – now he starts better than any other sprinter in the world. But this didn’t help him to conquer Bolt at the Olympic Games in Rio-de-Janeiro. May be it is because he is 34 years old. He has lost his last chance to win Bolt.
