Miles better than these all things being considered, but not a lot of difference between the times shown so far in this event by the top 4 or 5 and whilst there must be more to come from her, I think 1.16 is pretty damn short.

Worth a lay and so's the price.

Did you watch the semi's? lol  As I've said earlier she'll win in a romp barring a dq.  The bet is really will Felix DQ or not?  Not sure laying that prop at 1.17 is good value.

Been plenty of times people have looked untouchable in semis before failing to repeat it in the big one.

Experienced athlete avenging two losses, she will win ala Bolt in 2008.

Definite lay at that price. Very high class race which any of the top could win IMO,.
Report ReaseHeath August 8, 2012 7:50 PM BST
true she was very impressive in semis - season's best time .4 sec better than anybody else but field includes 100m gold and silver medalist and 400m gold medalist.

Richards Ross with monkey off her back and nothing to lose could make a race of it.

I won't bet on this but price does seem a little short to me - if somebody does put her under pressure, interesting to see how she reacts.

It's almost never as straightforward as it seems.

Odds are short but Felix will win, she had plenty to spare and eased down in the semi with metres to go.

I got 1.2 and 1.16 is low.

lol WR only half second...easy money
Report ReaseHeath August 8, 2012 9:11 PM BST
'only' half a second? That equates to about 10 metres over 200 metres.World record is Flo Jo's and 24 years old - so 24 years ago, pre internet, pre a generation of technological and scientific advancement, Felix would have been slaughtered by 10 metres in the Olympic final.

It defies all logical belief of any sane individual that the record was not achieved with 'special help'.

Must have been real nervous, relatively poor race from Felix.  Still more then good enough for the W.
