I'd replace Coleman and Lyles. Coleman because of his recent suspension and Lyles because he's more of a 200m runner.

Lyles has the bye for Worlds in the 200M. He's sharpening his 100M in an attempt to try qualification for that distance at Worlds. Coleman should be running 200Ms as his last 30M just too raggedy.

And you wouldn't replace Andre De Grasse? Isn't he more of a 200m runner too?

Call me a distance fanatic, but the 100 is almost never INCREDIBLE. And one featuring a 4-time Nike drug test evader in May is only incredible if there's a world record or an 8-way tie.

2 THE GILLS!!!

Jacobs a born in El Paso Texas Italian, reigning Olympic champion

Kerley South Plains JC/Texas A&M 400 cat

DeGrasse ***Coffeyville JC/USC 100m record holder/Canadian 200m record holder

Lyles never ran college track at all

Coleman reigning World champion, Tennessee

Baker one of the 8 sub10,00 sprinter out of TCU

*** only JCer would could beat Garden Cities Tyreek Hill current NFL fastest man

Looks good to me, expect to see something special, especially for April.

I am hoping Fred Kerley wins in a WL of 9.88

Aren't all those guys a half second slower than the bolt/powell/gay generation. All mens events up to 1500m (except 400h) have been a snooze fest lately.

Despite how one feels about Coleman (I don't feel strongly but a ban is a ban), by the numbers his 9.76 PR is not far off Asafa's 9.72. Everyone under 9.80 has a positive test or violation or affiliations with PED distributors aside from a select few, and Kerley has a 9.84 PR to go with Jacob's 9.80 and Lyles' 9.86. These are all fast times and running under 9.80 is a lot faster than people think. Bolt's 9.58 spoiled the 100m in terms of people appreciating fast times because it is so far out of reach (and Tyson Gay and Yohan Blake at 9.69 have both tested positive for PEDs) so no normal non-Bolt human has ever run under 9.70 without having served a ban.

Also, the US 200m team is stronger than it has ever been, with 19.90 not making it onto the Olympic squad. That is the only time that has ever happened at the Olympic Trials ever as far as I am aware.

Is it possible to just enjoy the action without the PED thing? Everyone who follows pro rasslin' knows it's all fake so do we need to ......you know that ain't real......that would be annoying. All us sprint fans are well aware of all that so what do we do about it, yep,,,,,,nothing, let it go guy, ok? Enjoy the action without that annoying PED stuff.

The track record on that Eugene track is a 9.77 by Tyson Gay, that is the only sub 9,80 ever ran there, but a whole slew of 9.8's.

out of the way Ory meets get around 1/1,000,000th the TV viewers as the Olympics

Yeah that's gonna be a big no from me, Dino.

Where is Bromell? 9.76 leader in 2021, indoor 6.50 -2022.

Very cool they have all of the 100 and 200m medalists from Tokyo in one race. I also like that all the Jacobs truther stuff after the Olympics win has been pretty much put to bed. Doesn't seem afraid of racing/facing top comp at all. It's good for the sport.

I expect Marcell to have an unbeatable season. No one will out match his top end speed.

Most incredible thing about all of this for me is that we aren't talking about any Jamaican male sprinters. Golden era over?

If the fastest runners of all time have mostly been caught using PEDs then the *point* is that their times shouldn't be held up as a reason to call the state of sprinting today a "snooze fest." In reality the volume of sprinting talent in the US has never had more breadth and depth, especially in the context of sprint times outside of what Bolt did in his prime (which was so beyond normal human capability that even the next FIVE fastest athletes of all time all have served PED bans or had whereabouts violations in Coleman's case).
