Jeremy Wariner and LaShawn Merritt?

Question

what are your views?

Anyone think Wariner is just taking the limelight off himself a bit?

Will Wariner win the Olympics?

Answer 1

Wariner will win in the olympics because it is at that race that he "needs" to win. he didn't need to win the trials, just make the team, he doesn't need to beat merritt at the regular meets. true, elite and competitive runners like wariner have a mental factor that will enable them to do whatever they need to when the time comes and wariner will do that

Answer 2

at his very best Wariner is a Gold medal cert, however he has a tendancy to underperform ,hence his 2 defeats idon't think he is as driven as his mentor Michael Johnson was.

Answer 3

I don't think that Wariner intentionally let Merritt win 2 races to take the pressure off.

He did not run his best time in either race.

He did not run a smart race at the trials.

He has not run as fast this year as in the past 4 years, so we will have to wait until the Olympics to see if he can run as fast as he is capable of running.

If he does he will win the Olympics.
