Last Meet of the Season
Posted: Wed Aug 25, 2010 1:22 pm
The final Diamond League meet of the season should be a doozy, with several events coming down to the final meet to decide a champion. Highlighting these events is the men’s 100m dash, with Tyson Gay and Richard Thompson locked in a tie atop the Diamond League standings with 8 points apiece. Either could take the crown with a victory in this race, although Gay seems to be the surer bet to win seeing as he as downed both Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell this season and has posted a world leading 9.78 this year. Meanwhile, Lolo Jones’ once dominant hold on the 100m hurdle title has disintegrated into a first place tie with Canada’s Priscilla Lopes-Schliep, who has won three of her last four races. Other athletes to watch include new world record holder David Rudisha (800m), Allyson Felix (200m & 400m), and Blanka Vlasic (High Jump).
