FELIX DECIDED ON THE RACE-OFF!!!!

5:30 pm tomorrow!!!

this is ridiculous! what's the point of this. she cannot medal in the 100M. she needs fresh legs to win the 200M why doesn't she just give Tarboh the 100M spot.

i've always liked felix - but this is just ticking me off now!

Thats what they should of decided on after a few hours of thinking about it.

greed can't be stopped. She wants it all

This is so exciting. I just creamed myself.

this is going to get huge. bigger than the seabiscut race

Thanks for your lack of understanding of the sprint events.

It's her life and her decisions if she want 2 individual Olympic medals than why can't she. She had a bad start at 100m finals and caught Tarmoh last sec... Tarmoh can't even run sub11 why should USA send her... Felix will smoke Tarmoh in run-off and will go to Olympics in 100m!!!! GO FELIX!

80% Felix wins

So what if there is a tie again?

then none of them go and the 5th place from the original tie-breaker goes

She spent the entire season/off season training for this double; why the hell would she give it up now? Nobody cares if you guys think it's greedy or upsetting.

Does this mean you're paying 4-1?

I'm glad she isn't going to just give the berth away. This is the Olympics, these athletes train their whole lives for the games.

I love Tarmoh but I'd take those odds, absolutely!! Somebody unheard of vs. the girl who just ran fastest 200 in 12 years....hmmmmm.....a no brainer for a betting man, which I'm not

gimme a break! she could have flipped a coin. she could have advised to give the win to Tarboh - what on earth does your remark about understanding sprints have anything to do with it?

she needs fresh legs to win that elusive 200M - does she think VCB and Fraser are going to roll over and let her win?

does she really think she has a chance of even medalling in the 100M?
