Blake and gatlin didnt even make the final...

It will be

Bolt

De grasse

Meritt

Id be shocked if it were anyone else.

The french guy Lemontray looked likenhe was on a mission in the seminfinal and put out a 20.01. He could very well big a contender and trip up bolt in the final stealing Usains olympic dreams and shattering his mighty spirit

LEMAITRE will stun the world

19.62 for silver.

Gatlin must be hurt. He ran 19.65 at PRE in 2015 for christssakes...can't even make the final here.

Gatlin looked a bit chubby when seeing him after the semifinal maybe hes off the good stuff and that hard earned muscles turning to flab and hurting his performance.... or maybe i'm halucinating and bolt paid him off to lose the race

Man, I really hope Merritt pulls out the Silver. He should have been doing the 200/400 double all along

He may not break 19.60, this track is slow and he's probably tired.

No one should challenge him though even at 19.60.

This will be a complete walk over by Bolt. No need to even put in 95% to get the gold.

I'd go with:

19.55 Bolt

19.74 Degrasse

19.76 Merrit

19.91 Lemaitre

Everybody else in this thread is crazy. Even you're being a little generous, I think. I would be shocked if he ran sub 19.5. I think 19.6 range is the best bet.

Bolt will win gold, but he's come back from injury very recently, he will win with his slowest championship 200m.

Bolt holds as many individual sprint world records as all American men combined! And 2 to 0 on flat world records. Nobody gives a snot about hurdles.

And?

And no one will give snot about him when he's outed as the biggest fraud in sports history.....

But back to the OP: there's no chance he runs sub 19, or anything remotely close to that tomorrow. 19.55 at best.

"Jogged" lol no.

Did you even watch the race? He actually showed a lot of strain and his 50-100 split was up there with his fastest ever.

Hes running 19.3x-19.4x at WORST.

If he doesnt get a head wind, that is.

Id bet $100 on it.

Eh. Blake just ran 9.9s in the semi and final of the 100. He looked fast around the bend in the 200; he just looked out of shape on the backstretch. He seems almost as fast as ever, but in worse shape than ever. I just think he ain't as hungry as he used to be.

I saw Blake go close to 45-flat at the Penn Relays when he was still in high school. Dude has serious raw natural talent (you try being as out of shape as he is right now and running 20.2), but he's also obviously doped in the past.

Yes they're really good mates. Both run similar to each other.

And DeGrasse is also a Puma endorsee so it seems like Bolt is taking him under his wing and also hyping him up as the next Puma guy. I like DeGrasse but he doesn't have the personality of Bolt. Berry few ever have.

Who cares about this walking pharmaceutical repository. Oozing drugs out of his pores.

Uh he ran it into a head wind?

He shut down with 50 to go, with an average start...

No, he barely shut it down. Had to push in this one. 19.4ish is best one can expect.

They may run into head wind tomorrow too.

I agree with your top two picks. 3rd place is up for grabs.

Don't rule out DeGrasse for the gold, either. In the mixed zone Bolt was reportedly not happy that he had run so fast.

Hes got to pave the way for future sprinters. But damn, we have a real life legend among us.

A very reliable source told me Bolt will run 19.63 ftw. Cheers!

No idiot, he wasn't jogging. He ran HARD and let up at the end. This site has some very, very unintelligent people on it. You have my pity.

He was talking and having a laugh with de-grasse at the end..

Im guessing

Bolt

De Grasse

Blake

19.49 for Bolt. De Grasse and Merrit are not going to run under 19.6x.

My dark horse is Alonso Edward. Probably a 19.8x potential.
