Should anyone be interested, Michael Johnson's 100m split time was 10.12. He ran the second 100m in 9.20.

If the wind is not a factor, I think Bolt beats the record if he runs all-out from end to end, but even if he does, he's working with a very small margin of error.

IMO, the YES prop looked about right at +200 - it now looks tempting at +288 (Pinny).

s'going to be close.

My estimate has him running 19.6 at best all out.

Bolt just ran 19.67 this past summer. On this super fast track there's no doubt he can shave a significant amount off that time.

Now under 19.32 who knows. It should be interesting. Just over 15 minutes now, race starts at 10:20...

Guys, just a heads up on track conditions. The last race just run was a hurdle race - it had a .4 headwind.

Men's 110m Hurdles Semifinal 2Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Semifinal 2, Status: Official Qualification criteria: 1st 4 Wind: -0.4


Makes sense the NO is getting more late action, that could shave a tenth or two off, easily.

No, the wind is listed on the NBC site for each race.

I'm looking for a web feed for this sucker. I still think 19.5

Last race the wind was at 0 (women's first semifinal for 200m)

***-.2 for the second semifinal.
