Greetings one and all!
Hey OP, what happened? Fun thread. Agreed it can be hard to find a FAT meet, even impossible depending on where you are. Where I am there is only a handful, and they are all early. I heard that this year they even canceled a couple, because the track was being resurfaced. Nothing going on now.
But seriously, what happened? I hope this wasn't a troll.
re: Powell, we get to see him first in Zagreb then Rieti. His Zurich race was only OK, he probably needed to get rid of the jet lag. With that kind of first half, a 9.87 (+1.6) is certainly possible, all he needs is some SE. I was shocked to see how decent his first 30-35m were. He needs that late acceleration again to plumb the depths of 9.7 again, though, in addition to SE. I would love to see him against Gatlin in Rieti!
