Well seeing as the US Track teams Maurice Greene, Justin Gatlin, and Shawn Crawford all finished their 100M dash race with in .02 secs of eachother. I think the USATF(m) should be a formidable opponent in Athens.
For the womans side it doesnt look so great as Marion Jones did not qualify for the USATF(f). So there could be mixed results in Athens as her successor LaTasha Colander
The USAST may fare well these up coming weeks as Micheal Phelps makes a new world record in the 400 IM @ 4:08.41
Natalie Coughlin seems to be owning in the womans side of things as she is the World record-holder in 100m back (first woman under one minute - 59.58) |

The US has hopes? I thought most of it was dashed by the drug testing :stongue:. You know one of them will test positive for something, meanwhile Marion Jones will be watched like a hawk:haha:
Canada's biggest hopefuls are in rowing, which we tend to dominate every olympics and felicien in hurdles, besides that, the olympics is a disaster but we have no Ben Johnson to laugh at this year. |
