20 years experience as a Track and Field analyst. A former sprinter with four Olympic medals. Ato is a serious student of Track and Field. I agree with his analysis and predictions
Shelly Ann had no experience in 2008 under the guidance of Franno. He will be preparing to do what needs to be done next week. Franno, we speak we. Listen, MVP has won more than 50 medals since 2008.Dont underestimate this man.
Right, which is the most highly suspicious behavior in modern track and field history. SAFP was running 13 second 100m PBs at 17/18 then wins Gold 3 years later? She's not the only one but she's the one who stands out the most. Then she gets faster in her mid 30s? No, not possible not in track. Even Bolt was sort of a fluke even with his U20 world record in the 200m. He set it at 18, had another 1.5 to improve on it but basically ran the same time from then until 2008 with some minor exceptions. Elaine the same. Her PB was 11.8 at 18 but she hadn't run under 12 since 2006 until 2013 then 2 years later she wins with 10.84? She ran 24.20 in the 200m at 20 years old and 23.23 at 22 years old. Then she ran 21.66 the next year? Here is the one issue for Kishane, in 2013 5 Jamaicans failed drug tests. Asafa Powell, Sherone Simpson, Veronica Campbell Brown were the main ones but in also SAFP, Nesta Carter and many others were failing and Dr. Paul Wright said that Jamaica was getting away with murder in terms of drug testing not being carried out. Since then Jamaicans have not been able to be as free as they once were and that clearly applies to Kishane. That's why he's barely left the island and until the end of last season Nkrumie was faster than Kishane 4 years in a row starting when Nkrumie was 14. Kishane is 4 years older than Nkrumie and he was still losing to a child? Now he's the world leader? 😂
@chuckdeuces911 I think Jamaicans are just naturally fast even outside of Jamaica, what are the odds the fastest Canadian in history is Jamaican, the fastest Japanese man in history has a Jamaican father, the top 2 fastest british men in history have Jamaican heritage, the fastest british woman in history has Jamaican parents, the fastest Australian woman in history has a Jamaican father, fastest American woman over 400m in history is Jamaican, current fastest collegiate woman over 100m has Jamaican heritage, current fastest American woman over 200m has Jamaican heritage and is 4th all time behind 2 Jamaicans and FLOJO, even Ato Boldon himself has a Jamaican parent and he's the fastest man over 200m in Trinidad history. I don't think this is by coincidence.
@@chuckdeuces911 you want to talk about dug cheats? Look no further than the USA, they are the biggest ones because they have the money . Jamaica too poor for that. What kind of drugs did Asafa, Sherone,and Veronica take. You lie

Yet another Jamaican fan who's turned clairvoyant and thinks they have the bead on American hopes.

It fills your podcasts, sports shows, and social media. We hope Noah wins, better yet we'd love to see a US sweep. But if not, we'll get our share in the multitude of other events on and off the track. I'm taken aback at the intense focus and attention you island folks are bringing to this one race.
Nah we aren't hoping for Thompson to fail. We love fast times and have actually shown more respect to blake than you guys have. Naturally Americans would prefer Lyles or Kerley to win,but if kishane wins in 9.6 something we will be happy nevertheless. If we get stomped in the 100 we always have the 200.

Kishane is a beast between 30-60m, def it won’t be because he freezes up that he won’t win. But ppl are sleeping on Noah’s Lyles track IQ….. he gone from 200m specialist to the one to beat in 100m and 200m whilst getting better. Having potential is one thing. Knowing how to get that out of you is what he’s mastered. I think he’ll figure out how to run faster. And that’s something I don’t think Kishane is prepared for.

Solid interview. Kenny was a surprise pick for podium though. But you’re right. The Africans are fast but I looked earlier and it was surprising that Ferdi was 0-7 against Noah… wild. Interested to see how Kishane performs though. He hasn’t gone through rounds overseas because travel definitely plays a part that I recently learned. The only rounds was on home turf.
Ato knows better than to refer to experience being a factor when it comes to Kishane. I know he knows the sport too well and knows the psychological master that is Franno to believe what is coming out of his mouth. I'll just say go back to 2008 and beyond and count how many of Franno's athletes have won gold with so called experience. And I say so called because for many of these athletes, they are use to pressure just being a track athlete in Jamaica. Jamaica is the biggest track and field nation in the world and nothing is more pressure than competing in Jamaica through high school and at trials etc. People forget, Kishane did compete at trials last year and he also competed on the circuit and ran 9.85s and he competed against a good field a few weeks ago and executed the race like a seasoned veteran. He won't be phased at the Olympics and rounds is not an issue. The Jamaican trials mimic the same schedule as the Olympics in the 100m and we saw what he did there. I have Kishane, Oblique, Noah in that order. Noah hasn't beaten Oblique this year 😊
America is the biggest track and field nation. Sprints are not the only events in track and field. Jamaica had never won gold in the decathlon which is also part of track and field. America has the most golds medals in the decathlon. And the most golds in track and field overall
The History of Jamaica Track and Field will explain they are not interested but if they want to they will so don't encourage them you may regret don't wake the Lion!!!
@@spenser6353in terms of passion and excitement NO Country can match jamaica and they never will, even the American athletes are astounded when they attended our high school champs.
@@taiekehaughton8290 You are right but strange things happen under pressure. He has mire confidence than Ali had. His self belief is incredible. He may not win the 100m. But I have no doubt he is gonna throw down in the 200m and possibly break the Olympic record of 19.30
Listen height is a factor. Why do you think Bolts times are so far ahead of shorter sprinters. In MODERN sprinting no short man gonna boss it. Mark my words. You gonna see. Seville never wins gold ever. Mark these words. 5 9" absolutely the minimum for a gold medal winner. Seville is 5 7". He has to work too hard to keep up can't work. Kishane is 6 1". Lyles just shy of 5 11". Shorty gonna be 2nd to 4th all his career.....
ATO FOR ONCE YOU TALK SOME TRUTH👏 Hurricane 🌀 Kishane will Win and bring it back yo Jamaica 🇯🇲.. Kishane ,Seville and maybe Noah bcuz i think Kenny will beat him 😂
As a top American sprinter as a child, I’m considered tall for a female (5’8”), yet the two sprinters who were faster than me were much shorter than me. They were the size of Shelly Ann. Others who saw me run as a child said the same. The fastest female sprinters are often short. Because I look the sprints, I was one of the few among my American among my many Facebook friends who cheered for Shelly Ann in past Olympics. However, I wouldn’t consider her the all-time best sprinter. My all-time favorite sprinter is Carmelita Jeter, and pre Jeter my favorite sprinter was the GOAT: FloJo. Also, Alyson Felix, prior to her pregnancy, was a remarkably diverse champion sprinter. However, after her pregnancy, she didn’t recover like Shelly Ann. 👍🏽🇺🇸
No one will even be close to Kishane Thompson. Noah mocked the NBA for calling themselves world champion, but won't mock himself when they call him fastest man. Noah is nothing but a loud mouth!!!
Kishane should win by day light if he was really jogging as you say. I want to see him beat 9.58. If he was jogging that should be child's play for him. World's fastest man is a title given to the winner of the world championships or olympics so why would Lyles mock himself. If Thompson. Seville or whoever wins the 100 at Paris they will be called the World's fastest man until next year's world championships even if someone runs a faster time than them.
@@stephentrader9142 I don't think he is going to beat 9.58. What he is capable of is the first sub 9.7 time in 12 years since Yohan Blake last did it with 9.69. If he ran 9.77 and eased off in the last 20 metres. 9.67 or better should be within him. 9.58 is a whole other story. But we will see. I think at least two men are going sub 9.75 in this final.
@cosmicwisdom999 time wise third fastest behind Thompson and omanyala but as I stated before the world's fastest man title goes to the winner of the most recent world or olympic championship and they get to keep it for a whole year until the next championship. So if Thompson beats Lyles at the olympics he will be officially crowned the world's fastest man. Let's say Thompson runs 9.7 to win at the olympics and then Thompson decides to run at a diamond league meet and gets beat by Seville who runs 9.69. Thompson would still be the world's fastest man despite Seville beating him with a faster time at a diamond league meet because that title can only be earned at a world championship or olympics.
Not many people know that Oblique was injured at national trials. Even if he was fit, Kishane would have been a big challenge to overcome, but he equalled his PB while injured. Let's see how a fit Seville will perform at the Olympics.
Oblique is like Julien Aldridge, very humble and focus. I think oblique going to pull this off Oblique, Noah lyles 2nd and Kerley might suprise them for 3rd. Shane will run good but i have doubt in him. As i said oblique and Julien kinda have same running personality.
@stevemann1299 Have we seen Andre Degrasse all season? Can Tebogo get there? Where is Fambulleah? I too favor Lyles, he has a third speed at 100m into the 200m race. I wait to see the rounds.
@@johnkennedy8640 What made Lyles so great was losing the 200 in Tokyo. He vowed he will never lose it again until he is OLD. And he hasn't been beaten for 3 years. Nobody is denying him. It could come down to inches. But he will be victorious in Paris. And I will not be surprised if Bolts Olympic record of 19.30 goes. I really won't.
Stephen Francis. also did the same with Elaine Thompson Herah, she was never a stand out in track and he worked on her as his project and she exploded at the 2016 Olympics
Kishane said in an interview after the trials that he and Franno are working on different phases of his race, which is why he was told to shut down at xxx metres
On 4 August in Paris the Men's 100 Finals in the 2024 Olympic will be run. Hype is wonderful but it doesn't equal results. Looking Forward to the Finals. The Elite of the Elite rise to the top on the International Stage (Olympics/World Championships).....
Anything can happen ,l watched a documentary on linford Christie and his last Olympics games ,who would of thought he would get a disqualification. Which completely ruined the final in 1996 Atlanta 100m.the 200 metres is the race i remember the most . from the track.
@@yawos9024 as long as he is not next to noah with all the mind games at the build up . Jumping around shouting .he needs to be as far away from him or not next to him .
When I saw the video of Kishane Thompson running.. Uh-oh. If I were betting cash, it's be on Thompson. Maybe someone else could breakout and win... but... Thompson looks to be man the man to bet on.
Oblique needs to be on the podium….. He will not make the same mistakes - Oblique conserve your energy during the heats and run fast through the line Hopefully, Kishane will push him along
1.) Thompson 09:65, 2.) Seville 09:72, and Lyles 09:79 sorry to tell you this but Seville is totally different from last year that before that. For the first time his stamina and his fitness and it is on a whole nother level. Stamina will not get him this time and stamina left them out of The fray of everything on two big events. He will be ready and he will contend for the goals. But he will come up short for gold and end up with a silver. There'll be a distance between Seville and Lyles. Lyles will have a new PB of 09:79.
@@deedanking4806 No way. Fast times don't come at will. Even the greatest of them all only went sub 9.7 three times in his entire career. Its no joke going that fast. You will see.
ATO If kishane win ,I hope you keep quiet and never say Drugs next to kishane name like what you did to Bolt in 2008 after he beat everyone in the Bajing Olympics
Ato should explain to us why he didn't advise Brianna Williams to join the MVP camp, when Frano produced the most female winners in the 100 & 200m sprint even?
I personally do not agree with Ato that Lyles and Thompson are a toss up and evenly match. He's still trying hard to stick with his pick for Noah winning the 100m but I'll remind him about what Seville did to Noah. Jamaica has a 2 headed monster that will be hard to take down hands down barring injuries.
Dat was a one off race though. Oblique going to have to manage the rounds. He's stronger this year but is he as strong as a 200m runner through the rounds? Nuh such sure but ee will see. Hope he and Kishane can medal.
It all depends on the start if Noah realize a good one he will win due to his final acceleration...otherwise Kishane win. They are close in times because Kishane 9.77 are with tail win 0,5 and Noah 9.81 front win 0,3. The pressure of the rinal also counts...at this moments they are 50% in the furure perhaps Kishane has better potential for 100. In 200 is possible to break WR by Noah...
I disagree with Oto. Noah Lyles has to be the favorite in both the 100m and the 200m. Thompson isn't tested under the bright lights. I trust Lyles more to perform under the pressure.
Ato has taken to Track and Field analysts as a duck to water! I'm extremely proud of his accomplishments as a former athlete and analysts and as a Trinbagonian he brings joy to my heart when he's doing his analysis.
@@JeeGo-Aries-King Jamaica looks ready. Seville and Thompson are two of the favorites along with Noah Lyles. should be exciting. Shericka Jackson should of stayed in the 100 meters though. Her and Shacarri would of been a nice showdown
On paper, yes. We always go with who has the best time. It’s logical. Let’s see what happens though, whether Thompson can do it on the big stage. Someone like Omanyala or Asafa runs quick times, but during championships, they fade away
I'm Jamaican, and I will be cheering for them, but don't sleep on Bednarek,....running 19.59 in the U,S. trials...if he corrects a couple of things, it's going to be fireworks.
Ato at the start of the year nobody is beating nyles, 4 months later oblique destroyed lyles run 9.81 and Ato said is going to be a battle between lyles and oblique at Olympics. 2 months later kishane destroys oblique 9.77 . Ato now says the race is between lyles and kishane and oblique wont even get bronze 😂😂😂
First off oblique didn’t destroy any thing he barely won and Noah had a bad start 🤣🤣 funny thing is oblique gets destroyed at world championship and Olympic finals every time but your bragging about a useless race in Jamaica?? 🤣🤣 yal Jamaican fans are getting more pathetic by the day. Noah has the hardware and better times yal still playing catch up
I don't see Hinchcliffe making it to the final unless he runs a massive PB in the semis. He will need to run at least 1/10 of a second faster than PB to feature in the final.
Watch Kishane mash the World Record...I think he has it in him. So you know my hopes are waaaay up for Kishane...lol....Love Noah, but he may have to settle for the silver this Olympics or even tie with Oblique (if he shows up...lol).

Kishane will soak up the pressure and run very fast. That 100m is going to be a humdinger 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲✨️
that’s your hope. let’s see what he does.
Jamaicans are desperate to break the medal drought.
KT's middle seems scary indeed. 30-60m splits put him at around 2.55s. That's top 10 all time.
KT was timed 6.40 over the first 60m in Xiamen China last year, he was new to sports, still a prento; especially on the international circuit. EH!
Ato knows better than to refer to experience being a factor when it comes to Kishane. I know he knows the sport too well and knows the psychological master that is Franno to believe what is coming out of his mouth. I'll just say go back to 2008 and beyond and count how many of Franno's athletes have won gold with so called experience. And I say so called because for many of these athletes, they are use to pressure just being a track athlete in Jamaica. Jamaica is the biggest track and field nation in the world and nothing is more pressure than competing in Jamaica through high school and at trials etc.
People forget, Kishane did compete at trials last year and he also competed on the circuit and ran 9.85s and he competed against a good field a few weeks ago and executed the race like a seasoned veteran. He won't be phased at the Olympics and rounds is not an issue. The Jamaican trials mimic the same schedule as the Olympics in the 100m and we saw what he did there.
I have Kishane, Oblique, Noah in that order. Noah hasn't beaten Oblique this year 😊
America is the biggest track and field nation. Sprints are not the only events in track and field. Jamaica had never won gold in the decathlon which is also part of track and field. America has the most golds medals in the decathlon. And the most golds in track and field overall
The History of Jamaica Track and Field will explain they are not interested but if they want to they will so don't encourage them you may regret don't wake the Lion!!!
@@spenser6353in terms of passion and excitement NO Country can match jamaica and they never will, even the American athletes are astounded when they attended our high school champs.
@@TAM.w39 americans are really only into track an field during olympics. There are alot of other sports people follow like basketball

We have Maurice Smith.
Jamaica do not extend themselves because of resources and Jamaica athletes opted to train overseas.

Big up Oto from Jamaica, I grew up watching these Caribbean men in sports.
Who will best handle the pressure of an Olympics 100m final?
I think that's Lyles.
As a Jamaican I agree. Hope I'm wrong
At the end of the day, Lyles is simply not fast enough in the 100 right now.
@@taiekehaughton8290
You are right but strange things happen under pressure. He has mire confidence than Ali had. His self belief is incredible. He may not win the 100m. But I have no doubt he is gonna throw down in the 200m and possibly break the Olympic record of 19.30
@@fender1000100win the 200..maybe...olympic record..no chance
When it comes to pressure, I have to agree that Noah can't be forgotten
Don't sleep on Oblique Seville!
@jonathanvijongarth Seville not ready for Thompson
I agree!
Seville can't win too short. You name one sprinter under 5 8" that ever won an Olympic sprint final.
@@fender1000100 you talking garbage, height has nothing to do with it. We focused on speed and execution!
Listen height is a factor. Why do you think Bolts times are so far ahead of shorter sprinters.
In MODERN sprinting no short man gonna boss it. Mark my words. You gonna see. Seville never wins gold ever. Mark these words.
5 9" absolutely the minimum for a gold medal winner. Seville is 5 7". He has to work too hard to keep up can't work. Kishane is 6 1". Lyles just shy of 5 11".
Shorty gonna be 2nd to 4th all his career.....
Asafa Powell & Kishane Thompson.. (im sure have MUCH more in common than what the public knows)
If i was a betting person,i would take advice from Ato the erudite of track and field
A fret dem a fret, kishane Thompson sprinting a run dem red , a fret dem a fret wicked man sprinting going straight to dem bombo claath head head.

Alto was one of my favourite tracks star 🌟
ATO FOR ONCE YOU TALK SOME TRUTH👏 Hurricane 🌀 Kishane will Win and bring it back yo Jamaica 🇯🇲.. Kishane ,Seville and maybe Noah bcuz i think Kenny will beat him 😂
For once ? Lmao. He’s the voice of track and field
Is he talking the truth or just saying what you wanna hear. Hmmm 🤔
You can hear the fear from the 2 guys on each corner. Underestimating Frano again heh!
A very CLINICAL ANALYSIS, BY MR ATO BOLDON.
Ato is completely right….i have not seen anyone generate the power in transition phase like Kishane. Wish I was going to be there. It will be epic
Noah' has a better chance of winning he is very good under pressure
Legendary Q&A, with no FLUFF
Thank you sir and thank you ato
As a top American sprinter as a child, I’m considered tall for a female (5’8”), yet the two sprinters who were faster than me were much shorter than me. They were the size of Shelly Ann. Others who saw me run as a child said the same. The fastest female sprinters are often short.
Because I look the sprints, I was one of the few among my American among my many Facebook friends who cheered for Shelly Ann in past Olympics. However, I wouldn’t consider her the all-time best sprinter. My all-time favorite sprinter is Carmelita Jeter, and pre Jeter my favorite sprinter was the GOAT: FloJo. Also, Alyson Felix, prior to her pregnancy, was a remarkably diverse champion sprinter. However, after her pregnancy, she didn’t recover like Shelly Ann. 👍🏽🇺🇸
No one will even be close to Kishane Thompson. Noah mocked the NBA for calling themselves world champion, but won't mock himself when they call him fastest man. Noah is nothing but a loud mouth!!!
You guys weren’t even cheering Thompson on two months ago 😂😂😂
Lyles delivers though. If you gonna run your mouth. You need to back it up. And he does. So let's wait and see.
@@Wideout4lies we always tell people to watch out for him.
Kishane should win by day light if he was really jogging as you say. I want to see him beat 9.58. If he was jogging that should be child's play for him. World's fastest man is a title given to the winner of the world championships or olympics so why would Lyles mock himself. If Thompson. Seville or whoever wins the 100 at Paris they will be called the World's fastest man until next year's world championships even if someone runs a faster time than them.
@@stephentrader9142
I don't think he is going to beat 9.58. What he is capable of is the first sub 9.7 time in 12 years since Yohan Blake last did it with 9.69. If he ran 9.77 and eased off in the last 20 metres. 9.67 or better should be within him. 9.58 is a whole other story. But we will see. I think at least two men are going sub 9.75 in this final.
Oblique Seville will medal ' He'll be on the podium.
The favorites are Thompson and Seville
And lyles
How is Seville a favorite over the world champion Lyles?
@spenser6353
How is Lyles Lyles Lyles the world fastest man? All Lies Lies Lies
@@stephentrader9142
He's the second fastest this year after Kishane Thompson..
@cosmicwisdom999 time wise third fastest behind Thompson and omanyala but as I stated before the world's fastest man title goes to the winner of the most recent world or olympic championship and they get to keep it for a whole year until the next championship. So if Thompson beats Lyles at the olympics he will be officially crowned the world's fastest man. Let's say Thompson runs 9.7 to win at the olympics and then Thompson decides to run at a diamond league meet and gets beat by Seville who runs 9.69. Thompson would still be the world's fastest man despite Seville beating him with a faster time at a diamond league meet because that title can only be earned at a world championship or olympics.
Not many people know that Oblique was injured at national trials. Even if he was fit, Kishane would have been a big challenge to overcome, but he equalled his PB while injured. Let's see how a fit Seville will perform at the Olympics.
Ato Bolton is always spot on with is analytical comment. For Beijing to this yrs
Ato is actually the best.
This will be one of the most intense 100m final.
Almost similar to 2012.
But in this event, you may have all finalist running 9.8.
some guys going sub 9.8 for sure
I think it's gonna take a sub 9.75 time to win this 100m
Balance wise yes, but of course nowhere close to the quality though.
Except the times.
@@daowonimdee If you convert both Kishane's and Noah's times to 0 wind, then Noah has the faster time
Oblique is like Julien Aldridge, very humble and focus.
I think oblique going to pull this off Oblique, Noah lyles 2nd and Kerley might suprise them for 3rd.
Shane will run good but i have doubt in him. As i said oblique and Julien kinda have same running personality.
Great analysis
Thompson, Lyles . Third time is the charm for Seville.
That's my podium.
That's how I see it too. Lyles is not winning the 100m. But God damn he is gonna murder the 200
@stevemann1299 Have we seen Andre Degrasse all season? Can Tebogo get there? Where is Fambulleah? I too favor Lyles, he has a third speed at 100m into the 200m race. I wait to see the rounds.
@@johnkennedy8640
What made Lyles so great was losing the 200 in Tokyo. He vowed he will never lose it again until he is OLD. And he hasn't been beaten for 3 years. Nobody is denying him. It could come down to inches. But he will be victorious in Paris. And I will not be surprised if Bolts Olympic record of 19.30 goes. I really won't.
Stephen Francis. also did the same with Elaine Thompson Herah, she was never a stand out in track and he worked on her as his project and she exploded at the 2016 Olympics
Lots of people don't know Ato father is Jamaican, trust and believe he is more Jamaican than most Jamaican # Canadian Jamaican
Kishane said in an interview after the trials that he and Franno are working on different phases of his race, which is why he was told to shut down at xxx metres
Lyles was told to not give his 100% i know in winter garden he ran a 9.54 in practice
@@user-ls7pl4hf6z cut the crap. He ran that on planet Narnia
This time is diffrent with oblique yes he not the same as before
On 4 August in Paris the Men's 100 Finals in the 2024 Olympic will be run. Hype is wonderful but it doesn't equal results.
Looking Forward to the Finals.
The Elite of the Elite rise to the top on the International Stage (Olympics/World Championships).....
Anything can happen ,l watched a documentary on linford Christie and his last Olympics games ,who would of thought he would get a disqualification. Which completely ruined the final in 1996 Atlanta 100m.the 200 metres is the race i remember the most . from the track.
All things being equal, Kishane will win.
@@yawos9024 as long as he is not next to noah with all the mind games at the build up . Jumping around shouting .he needs to be as far away from him or not next to him .
When I saw the video of Kishane Thompson running.. Uh-oh. If I were betting cash, it's be on Thompson. Maybe someone else could breakout and win... but... Thompson looks to be man the man to bet on.
Can’t count out the world champion Lyles
Cometh the hour, Cometh the man!
King Kong Kishane Is King!!!💯
Your Time Has Come! O Great Generational Talent!
Oblique needs to be on the podium….. He will not make the same mistakes - Oblique conserve your energy during the heats and run fast through the line
Hopefully, Kishane will push him along
9.80s is never a fluke.
Neither is 9.77.
@@daowonimdee Indeed.
Those were KT's rookie times( last yr) Noah recently ran his pb 9.81 eye balls out.
Ato Boldon is so sassy, I love it!
Ato how on earth 9.81 into that headwind converts to 9.77????
1.) Thompson 09:65, 2.) Seville 09:72, and Lyles 09:79 sorry to tell you this but Seville is totally different from last year that before that. For the first time his stamina and his fitness and it is on a whole nother level. Stamina will not get him this time and stamina left them out of The fray of everything on two big events. He will be ready and he will contend for the goals. But he will come up short for gold and end up with a silver. There'll be a distance between Seville and Lyles. Lyles will have a new PB of 09:79.
Seville is NEVER EVER running 9.72. He is too short. Lyles can bust 9.75 all on. Thompson 9.67 max. Seville will be lucky to get bronze.
No sira low 9:7 maybe not 9:72 but a low 9:7 is what I predict. You heard it here first remember. @@stevemann1299
Thompson will go considerably faster
There will be a gap between Thompson and Seville and the rest of the world.
@@deedanking4806
No way. Fast times don't come at will. Even the greatest of them all only went sub 9.7 three times in his entire career. Its no joke going that fast. You will see.

If kishane wins in 9.57 people are going to think drugs
@@stephentrader9142 people already thinking it.
@@user-oq7ji2rx4l Why? Are the Americans any blacker than they?
It's been drugs for years , jamaica testing isn't nearly as scrutinizing as American testing. Bolt was doping for sure
Ato should explain to us why he didn't advise Brianna Williams to join the MVP camp, when Frano produced the most female winners in the 100 & 200m sprint even?
Its a slam dunk, Kishane THOMSON
I personally do not agree with Ato that Lyles and Thompson are a toss up and evenly match. He's still trying hard to stick with his pick for Noah winning the 100m but I'll remind him about what Seville did to Noah. Jamaica has a 2 headed monster that will be hard to take down hands down barring injuries.
Dat was a one off race though. Oblique going to have to manage the rounds. He's stronger this year but is he as strong as a 200m runner through the rounds? Nuh such sure but ee will see. Hope he and Kishane can medal.
What Seville did to Noah happened 1 time. Noah has beaten Seville where it matters. Noah also has a faster personal best.
What Seville did in one race is irrelevant. It will come down to who runs the best on that day
It all depends on the start if Noah realize a good one he will win due to his final acceleration...otherwise Kishane win. They are close in times because Kishane 9.77 are with tail win 0,5 and Noah 9.81 front win 0,3. The pressure of the rinal also counts...at this moments they are 50% in the furure perhaps Kishane has better potential for 100. In 200 is possible to break WR by Noah...
True,in my opinion
I disagree with Oto. Noah Lyles has to be the favorite in both the 100m and the 200m. Thompson isn't tested under the bright lights. I trust Lyles more to perform under the pressure.
Kishane , Lyes , Oblique Seville

Come back and thank me here for my prediction
Tajay Gayle
People look at where they at the line
Shelly Ann @21!yo had no experience in 2008 and won 🥇 100m - Kishane could do it
Franno didn't want his athletes peak twice, if they didn't have to. Plus why show his hand.
He didnt want Kishane running flat out because it would be more obvious that he is on roids!
On paper, yes. We always go with who has the best time. It’s logical. Let’s see what happens though, whether Thompson can do it on the big stage. Someone like Omanyala or Asafa runs quick times, but during championships, they fade away
I think Seville is more like powell. Thompson will probably be another Bolt
Asafa was a champion, not a choker
@jcsuperstar4646 in the individual races he choked alot.
@@anthonyanderson9303 Who did he lose to? Because you don't win gold doesn't mean you choked. That's ridiculous.

No lyles is not gonna win the 100m maybe silver. But I can tell you he is gonna destroy the 200m. And possibly go sub 19.3.

Ato at the start of the year nobody is beating nyles, 4 months later oblique destroyed lyles run 9.81 and Ato said is going to be a battle between lyles and oblique at Olympics. 2 months later kishane destroys oblique 9.77 . Ato now says the race is between lyles and kishane and oblique wont even get bronze 😂😂😂
First off oblique didn’t destroy any thing he barely won and Noah had a bad start 🤣🤣 funny thing is oblique gets destroyed at world championship and Olympic finals every time but your bragging about a useless race in Jamaica?? 🤣🤣 yal Jamaican fans are getting more pathetic by the day.
