Well they have run the quarterfinals and semi finals of the mens and womens 100 meters. At the moment, Gemeli is the favorite on the mens side and Schippers on the womens side. Schippers needs to become a full time sprinter. She ran a 11.20 in the quarters and an 11.30 in the semis into a monster win. Her p.b. is 11.09 from a couple of weeks ago. She is very tall and also powerful. Her potential in the 100 is very good in my opinion. She is good in the heptathalon but her future is the sprints if she is smart. She has sub 11 written all over her. I hope she wins the gold tommorow. I would be shocked if she didn't. The womens final is very white friendly. Check it out guys.
On the mens side Gemeli is a man among boys at the moment. He ran a 10.18 like a jog in the park and he won by several meters. He is such a likable chap. Always smiling and very friendly to the other competitors until he blows them away. I was hoping Dario Horvat of Crotia would do better. His p.b is 10.20 from around a month ago and he also ran two other times in the low 10.20's along with a wind aided 10.18 at 2.1! This kid has potential but the long colllege season appears to have taken it's toll. He is in the final but drew lane two due to his very slow semi final time. This race is Adam Gemelis and everyone else is runnng for 2nd or 3rd. I would like to see some of our other guys put on a good show. Here is the lineup for the mens 100 meters final in the euro under 23 champs.
