Just backed Bolt at 1.83, seen couple interviews with him and his squad ,they sound quite confident. If anything its as if he wants not to be seen as unbeatable so when he wins he will get even more puplicity. He was no where near 100% at trials where he was beaten but over the season has the best times at under 9.70. I can see him getting close to 9.6- 9.65 tonight which should be too good for anyone else. This is just my opinion ,good luck any fellow Bolt backers....

I took £900 at 1.86. tempted to green out now at 1.3 for £500 profit. Bolt was just being a drama queen all along. cant say i blame him, why bust your nut on every meaningless race.
Report dc August 5, 2012 8:27 PM BST
Bolt eased up and it cost him about 1 metre on the others. That equates to 0.1 seconds. So if he had given it everything to the line he'd have done 9.77.
Report The Graduate August 5, 2012 8:31 PM BST
1.3 is too tight. Blake and Gatlin will give him a race. It appears Gay is still only 95% fit

Bolt should be the fav but not this short.  We still dont know how Bolt will cope with Blake next to him.  Blake's price is insulting and I'll have a small play
Report judorick August 5, 2012 8:51 PM BST
he is entirely capable of breaking the WR but the questions are:

1. Will he need to break the WR to win?
2. If not, what would motivate him to do so?

I don't think he will require a WR to get gold and he might be more motivated to do a WR when there is serious $$$$$$$ behind it

NO WR tonight
Report diktat August 5, 2012 8:55 PM BST
Blake will run 9.65 - 9.75 which means there is no chance Bolt will be clear enough to be easing up so WR could go.
Report nicky27 August 5, 2012 8:58 PM BST

Gatlin, Blake, Bailey - some very powerful runs this week. Bolt will be chasing them out of the blocks. If he wins, it will most likely be a WR.

There are some seriously fast times out there with both Gatlin and Blake easing up in their semi-finals.
