I think it's safe to say that when the favorite gets beaten (blown-away) and by someone who runs NCAA all-time fastest (though wind-aided) in 2 events within an hour, then something is fishy. SOMETHING IS FISHY!
So something's fishy because he beat what some know-it-alls decided was the favorite?
What's fishy is the knowledge level of the people in the media and this site that decided Bromell was the favorite. In NCAA indoors Bromell barely beat de Grasse in the #2 and #7 fastest indoor 200s ever run. De Grasse ran 9.87w at Mt. Sac and 20.03 at Pac-12s to break the Canadian National Record set by Aaron Brown of USC last year. Going into the 100, Bromell was slightly ahead on legal times (10.02 to 10.04) but in the 200, both Dukes and de Grasse were ahead of Bromell. Caryl Smith-Gilbert, one of if not the best sprint coach in the world now, had the peak set up better than Baylor did.
So the people who decided that Bromell was the favorite in both sprints didn't know what they were talking about and are now removing the egg from their faces. That's what's fishy here.
