Who actually thinks that Blake will beat Bolt?

I agree. Blake has put on too much mass. I doubt he can still run 19.26.

As for Bolt, his 100, with a very poor start, was only .05 off the time he ran in the same meet where he ran a 19.19, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if he could knock his 200m time down to 19.10 with a perfect execution.

I thought with all my heart that Blake was going to beat Bolt in the 100. I still can't believe Bolt ran that 9.63. That race told me to never doubt Bolt again. I don't think Bolt will break the WR, but he will run a 19.2x.

Agreed. I figured Blake would take the 100 and a pissed-off Bolt would come back for the 200. I was shocked by 9.63. I also agree that Bolt will run 19.2x. 19.10 would happen if he ran a flawless race, but he'll probably get off to a slow start and run 19.25 or so instead.
