Allen isn't a threat to Grant. I'm pretty sure Omar McCleod from Jamaica will be Grant's stiffest competition in the 100m hurdles. 

Honestly Grant has done really well vs McCleod.   I wouldn't sleep on Roberts, but the guy that is really dangerous is Ortega from Spain (Cuba originally).   He really finishes strong.     McCleod and Holloway are sprinters, but that dude from Spain really runs people down.

Even the White House is complaining about it ,

 

White House didn’t have problem with it when NFL banned  Josh Gordon for 5 years , White House didn’t care when LDT got sent to State Prison for failing a drug test 

 

 

 

White house nothing but a bunch of HATERS 

FREE LDT

What happened to Bolling? Wasn't the kid that was challenging Bolt?

He did not qualify for the US squad, but a 17 year old male sprinter did.

Knighton ripped a 19.84 to finish 3rd in the 200 at the US Olympic trials.

100 & 400 completed.  
 

Mens 100 semis and finals info.  
Bednarek’s start was brutally slow and still managed 4th.  

So cool to see Bromell healthy and shining bright.  

Bracy went down early with an injury in the semis and Gatlin didn’t qualify.    Demps gave it go but didn’t qualify in first round.  Boling ran a 10.13 to qualify for the semis.  

Noah Lyles failed to qualify in the 100, but previous 400 meter specialist Fred Kerley did.  

Michael Norman won the 400 in a strong time and Allyson Felix qualified finishing 3rd!  
STA Grad Kendall Ellis finished 4th and hopefully will compete in the 4x400 relay for the US.

Bronze medal for Kendall Ellis in the 4x400m mixed relay.

5th straight Olympics with a track and field medal for STA.

 

My daughter has us watching all the swimming events before she travels to Europe Monday.  I’m way behind on the track DVR’s but glad to hear about Ellis.  
I heard Poland won. 🇵🇱 “Polska gora”  (Poland on the top).

Gotta toss in some abject appreciation of last nights 400 hurdles.  One for the ages.  

I hope Rai Benjamin can find some peace with the outcome, because he was incredible -- He just happened to run into Warholm on a day when he was touched by Norse Gods themselves. 

I always find it interesting how gracious other competitors are to the winner, seconds after the conclusion of the events. I think I would have difficulty getting over the disappointment that quickly and would need some time to be able to happily share in the excitement with the winner. Benjamin didn't appear to be ready to share the elation with Warholm on the track as they caught their breath 5 seconds after crossing the finish line, which I understand.

All of us here in Westchester County, NY were rooting hard for the hometown guy.  He ran an amazing race but what a tough silver that was.
