The good thing is Gatlin gives everything to the final after doping case-he is mentaaly very strong
I predict Gatlin could run early 9.8 while im not sure about Powel

gatlin just ran a 9.80 (career best) on a slow oregon track. gatlin is due to run 9.75 if not better in the finals. he could actually win it all if bolt is truly injured. powell is in good form as well but US athletes are better coached and peak at the right time. Powell has run 9.85 this year but gatlins 9.80 would have been a 9.70 on a top quality mondo track.

top 3 times this year
gatlin 9.80 9.87 9.90
powell 9.85 9.88 9.92

intangibles. gatlin won gold 8 years ago and is known as a big meet racer meaning he does not lose form if someone like bolt runs 9.60. gatlin will run 9.75 win or lose. powell cant do that. id say -170 is a decent value as powell is known as kind of a choke artist

i think Powel is a decent sleeper in this hes damn fast and nobody talking..bronze shot for sure..like him plus +150 vs Gatlin
