2008 Olympics 200 Meters

[white lightning]

Most of our guys made it through the first round including J.Conn and Hession. The quarterfinals are in around 8 hours. That will be a very tough test for alot of these guys. The speed in this years olympics is at another level than we are used to seeing. Good luck to our guys. They will have to run almost perfect just to make the semifinals.

[white is right]

I think the Pole and Smirnov will at least make the semi-final. With luck and improvement on their times they both can final.

 

[waterbed]

Paul Hession smooth to the semi-final with 20.32 to finish first in heat 4 and Jared Connaughton with 20.45 and Kristof Beyens 20.50 also to semi final.So 3 whites to semi final so that is better then in the 100..

 

[white lightning]

The good news is all of these guys are in the same semi finals heat. They also don't have to face Bolt until the finals if any of them make it. The safest bet would be Hession as he is the fastest of the three and he got a middle lane for this race. Jay Conn got screwed in the far lane. He wil need a p.b. and alot of luck to final. Beyens has a descent lane. I can't wait to see it. We have 3 white sprinters out of 8 guys in a semi final of the olympics 200 meters! Not too bad.

 

[GiovaniMarcon]

Even if just one of them makes the final I would be satisfied. Remember in 2000 when K.K was the only white boy and he crushed the field? It's too bad he was likely roided at the time. Maybe he was clean, though. There's always wishful thinking.
