Epic Failure 147 Posted April 14 #21 Share Posted April 14 I don't think anyone doubted that Amber would have a strong year after her indoor improvements. I fully expect her to go under 50 at some point this year. But keeping spring NCAA form into the summer is not guaranteed. We only have to look at Britton Wilson last year. Even Adeleke - who held her form better than Wilson did - was over half a second slower in Budapest than she was at the NCAA champs. It's great overall to see Amber's progression. It just might not work out this specific summer. Obviously, I hope I'm wrong. mpjmcevoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireland would look at the Mixed heat and think it's tough but possible. W4x4 is defo possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Failure 147 Posted May 3 #25 Share Posted May 3 I'm internally trying to work out how they came up with the draws for the first round and even more fascinated how they are going to do the draw for round 2, given the stakes. I'd agree that none of the draws are particularly scary, for either GBR or Ireland. More than anything, I have the inevitable baton worries that come with the sprint relays especially. It'll be interesting to see who lines up for what - in theory Paulino is down only for the mixed 4x4 for the Dominican Republic, which would likely make Ireland's job in the women's 4x4 easier if that were the case. But I trust those entry lists about as far as I can throw them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,493 Posted May 5 Author #26 Share Posted May 5 Switching to the dedicated thread for WA Relays - just looking at the start list for GB and it's a pretty stacked heat. Anyone know where they get the SB as 47.75? Seems awfully slow compared to the other nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa Maciel 1,493 Posted May 5 Author #30 Share Posted May 5 second fastest overall for women's 4x100 and still with Asher Smith and Neita to come in. That's not a bad place to be going in to Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
