We have every reason to be excited about the 3 Americans, but also need to face the reality that other countries don't start racing as early in the year as the Americans do. Therefore, we get really excited about "early" season times (& well we should with the great marks this year), but while many think we're on top, others are training to peak in Berlin. I do believe, however, that the Americans will be a force to be reckoned with this time. Just don't underestimate those we haven't even heard form yet, or whose marks seem sub-par. The Russians are notorious for running in Russia and producing marks that we never hear about.
