    Bolt is back after 10 months out and won.

    Powell does what Powell does best. Choke.

    Mullings and Gay just ran the same time. Mullings gets the decision though.

    Bolt had his first 200m race for over a year recently and won piss easily.

    The World Championships are later on this year.

    GB team for the 100m dropped the baton for the relays in the final of the European Team Championship.

    They were massive favourites as well having broken the championship record in the semis

    Tyson Gay will not race in the World Championships after he pulled out of the trials with an injury so we won't see him against Bolt in the 100m or 200m. He could still make the relay team.

    Justin Gatlin is also back after a 4 year ban

    USAIN BOLT insists he still faces a battle to hold on to his world 100 metres title this summer despite the absence of arch-rival Tyson Gay.

    American Gay pulled up during the US trials last weekend with a hip injury - forcing him to miss the rest of the season.
    Gay was the first man to beat Bolt over 100m since Beijing, with victory in Stockholm a year ago. He had also posted the fastest time this season with 9.79secs.
    But Olympic and world champion Bolt, who has looked sluggish in his opening 100m races this season, managing a best of 9.91secs, claims he faces stiff competition from fellow Jamaicans Steve Mullings and Yohan Blake. Mullings, a training partner of Gay, set a personal best of 9.80secs earlier this month.
    Bolt, who will compete over his favoured 200m in Paris next week as he warms up for the World Championships in South Korea, said: "My schedule and build up won't change.
    "It doesn't mean I'm going to relax as I know and expect strong challenges from even my own team-mates in Jamaica and the Caribbean."

    9.80, wtf?

    What do they put in the Jamaican water?

    A world record in the relays coming up

    I've decided to go with Eurosport coverage. Much better watching adverts than that shitshow commentary on BBC
    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    Neither channel is covering the music properly, which is what this tournament seems to be about. No track titles, no video, no dancing. Real letdown.
