I would love to see the relay medalist go up against the USA 4x100's and Jamaican womens' 4x100. The world was cheated out of some great competition due to the mishaps of the USA. Zurich has the big bucks to get it done so lets hope it happens.
glad to see my boy Dix running in this event

Hopefully he can redeem himself against Thompsom.
