Great content. Love the analysis Mr. Bailey.
Noah LIES
Great chemistry between these guys. I had them Donovan Bailey spikes back ‘98. Spikes were so 🔥, I bought 2 of ‘em from Eastbay back in my college track days 😂
All the things Noah said in that interview is not unique to him alone all this is true of Kishane & Oblique as well & remember both as race less than him both are younger & therefore has far more scope for improvement.
Mens 100m
🥇 Thompson 9.70
🥈 Seville 9.79
🥉 Jacobs 9.81
🎖 Lyles 9.82 (participation medal)
Women's 100m

I fear for our UK 100metres men will not make the Olympics games 100 metres final.the women have a better chance
Donovan, do you have an email address?
Love the Pod cast.🤣🤣
Julian and Dina train together. Gabby is with another group.
1 sherika 2 Tia 3 up for grabs.
De’ grasse is a medal 🏅 poacher
What about the Jamaican men’s 4×100? You guys did not mentioned them in the mix😳
Thank you
Gabby does not train with Julien and Dina and they also have to do rounds that was a one race
Shericka over shacarri you are kidding shacarri will win if she has a good start shericka has not been looking good and hasn't broken 10.80 so your just guessing sir
Summer Olympics is watched worldwide. Winter Olympics is limited to Europe Asia North/South America. ??
HEY SHA CARRI, ONCE AGAIN THESE GUYS ARE CHOOSING THE JAMAICANS OVER YOU!!!!
EVEN WHEN THAY KNOW SHA CARRI OS THE FASTEST!!!! WOW
USE THIS SHA CARRI AND ROLL!!!!!!
GO SHA CARRI
I’m surprised that you did not mention Jamaica for the 4 x 100 men’s relay
I used to train at York University track in the early 1990s and I used to see you training in your grey Adidas unitards most weekday evenings . Last time I met you was at a club called Fusion in early 1993.I cannot ever convey the pleasant shock I experienced when I saw you win in Goternburg in 1995. Then I stayed up until 3 am Central African Time to see you win in Atlanta. Now that I am back home in Africa, I sometimes coach here in Botswana and I know Letsile Tebogo's coach Dos Mosimanyane and just like with you I have watched with incredulity as Letsile Tebogo go from a promising high school sprinter to where he is now. The world is a small place Mr. Bailey .Very good podcast by the way
The 100m goes down to who wants it more. Lyles has convinced himself that he will win and the power of the mind is all I’m saying. I think a lot of people root against the US and that’s fine but to not have Shacarri as your favorite is crazy.
Brap brap we ready….
So I will gooo out in the 10th lane lol and say I have Noah finishing 3rd if not won't medal in the 100m
love the talk and all the horsing around
Lyles will NOT WIN 4 gold medals. In fact he will not win 4 medals.
Good dream though.
100m Prediction:
Noah Lyles🥇: 9.41 (New WR)
Kishane Thompson🥈: 9.80
Fred Kerley🥉: 9.82

On paper and off paper is 🇯🇲 Kishane Thompson and Oblique Seville in the 100m.
Noah doesn't win the 100m easily. I avoid easy punchlines
I dont hear u guys mention tia clayton at all. But i can tell u she will be in the finals
I really appreciate your podcast sirs. If I may, can you put video reviews of the races instead of audio? It'll help the audience follow better.
Sharicka is obviously not close to her fitness from the last two years . Have you all failed to notice that? Plus with her most recent injury she may not make any final.
Lyles will win both the 100m and 200m.
Sha'Carri will win the women's 100m.
Shericka will win the women's 200m.
The Tebogo hype is up there, we shall see 👀
Nah gaby doesn’t train with them but dina, julian and adeleke do
using hours racing terms, is a dead no
Do you think it is strategic that Kishane and Noah have not run against each other at least recently. I mean there is a high level of anticipation and suspense do you think it's just coincidence.
