There's a new documentary on Netflix called SPRINT. Nice warmup viewing for the olympics. Actually changed my mind on Sha Carri . She has matured and understands what it takes. She'll take the 100 , no doubt about it in my mind. Same with Lyles in the 100 and 200 mens. That guy feeds of the limelight. His mouth brags and his body backs it up. Everyone is on the line telling themselves to breathe and be calm and Lyles can sense their fear. He truly is the Alpha sprinter.

My top 2 are also swimming and track and field. A number of years ago when it was being offered for half price (it was still 150), I bought the DVD set of every Olympics up till 2000. So many magical moments.

Some tough competition from the men and women sprinters from Jamaica 5wide. Would love to see another Jamaica gold but Shelly is getting up in age. Sha carri seems to have Sharika's number in the 100 and Elaine is out injured . Sha carri has been waiting for this for 4 years, it's her's to lose.

Agree Richardson the fave but wonder about Olympic pressure for her. No doubts about Lyles handling it.
