Due to this fall, Brown’s form is also somewhat of an unknown, but if he runs at his peak, he should be able to make the final.
Eight Other Semi-Finalists:
Olusoji Fasuba (Nigeria) – World 60m Champion not on the top of his form in the 100 this season.
Churandy Martina (Netherlands Antilles) – Fifth in the final of the World Championships last year, but a stronger field at the Olympics may push him out of a spot in the final this year.
Samuel Francis (Qatar) – Young sprinter who ran a 9.99 last season. London Olympics might be his best shot.
Michael Frater (Jamaica) – Seems to be getting into top form, running a 10.00 last week. Big chance of making the final.
Darvis Patton (USA) – May have peaked at the US Trials, but is capable of matching it with most of the runners here.
Marc Burns (Trinidad and Tobago) – Ran a 9.97 last week, indicating that he is also a big chance to at least make the final.
Kim Collins (Saint Kitts and Nevis) – 2003 World Champion is past his prime but always performs at the major meets.
Francis Obikwelu (Portugal) – Olympic silver medallist from 2004 may also be past his best but is still capable of reaching the final.
Personally, I can’t wait to see what unfolds. With the fastest three runners in history shaping up to do battle, and a supporting cast all capable of running under 10 seconds in the final, a world record is highly possible and would provide a great spectacle to an event already enshrined in history.
Bring it on.
