What's happening with De Grasse this year? 

 

He's had some injury problems throughout the year, but he had seemed to be back on the right track when he went 9.99 (-0.1) last night to win the 100m ahead of Aaron Brown (10.07)

[juddy96 171]

BTW this was only the 3rd race after a 2 hr rain delay, the track was still wet making Rodney's performance even better

Final meeting in Medellin, three more spots for Colombia:

 

Women's 100m: Evely Rivera, Eliecith Palacio

Men's 110m hurdles: Yeison Rivas

 

And the 4x400 team broke the national record again. It should be enough to go to Rio too.

[juddy96 171]

And in the Men's 400m Hurdles, Johnny Dutch and Bershawn Jackson will not be going to Rio. It will be Kerron Clement, Byron Robinson, and Michael Tinsley.

 

And neither is Allyson Felix in the Women's 200m, well beaten by Tori Bowie 22.25 and Deajah Stevens 22.30 and run out of it on the line by Jenna Prandini 22.53 to 22.54

What are your expectations in Terms of medals? I see 3 pretty safe medals in decathlon, heptathlon and mens pole vault and 4 other decent medal chances in mens high jump, mens 100m, womens Long jump and womens 800m + some minor medal chances in mens 200m, mens 4x100m relay and mens 20km race Walking. Would you be satisfied with 5 medals and 0-1 of them in Gold?
