Yes, those 2 hard to split at the moment. Maybe there's more improvements to come from Dobek?
Jesus Tonatiu Lopez (MEX) will be in the medals I think. He has a wicked kick.
I will have to remember not to check the results tomorrow morning due to their odd two day break

The only person who is beating Dina over 200m this year is Miller-Uibo. Thompson-Herah hasn't shown enough over 200m, Richardson the same and I don't think Fraser-Pryce has the speed endurance.

I just thought I was behind the news. Actually I'm mildly impressed that she's being a bit modest and just focussing on one. Agree with MB that it's difficult to see anyone beating Dina at 200 other than Miller-Uibo. I'm also interested in who will make the US 200 team. Felix looks a given, perhaps Brittani Brown? Who knows about the other NCAA girls.

MysteryBrick Agreed. It's going to take (depending on the weather conditions in Tokyo and, of course, Dina's fitness during the Olympics) someone running faster than 21.7 to beat Dina in the 200m final.... Based on current form, the only other runner I can see doing that is Miller-Uibo.
SprintRelayFan With no Richardson in the 200m, It's going to be a bun fight between a bunch of runners. Felix would be a great story, Tamara Clarke could be a good shout as well. Can Sturgis recreate her NCAA Final from a week or so ago? Judging from her 100m runs here in the US Trials, I'm not very sure if she can.

I note that Miller Uibo hasnt run a serious race in the 200m for months; her only May race was a straightway 200m. Wonder if she is fit.

I know it’s a minority view, but it is a big pity that so many top class athletes will miss out on the global stage - from their perspective and ours.
I see where you're coming from. There aren't many events in which the top US athletes can rest easy and cruise their way to the Olympic Games. They always have to worry about performing at their Olympic Trials. I think that fierce competition between the Americans gives their top athletes an added advantage when they compete in major championships. They are battle tested and have done well under pressure. In some events, the US Trials are tougher than the Olympic Games.
