Asafa is looking strong, tajay Gayle is getting himself acclimated with racing on the big stage, so he will need a few more races under his belt, but it’s time for julian forte to stamp his class now, he very talented, and seem to be slipping away from the top tier of jamaican sprinting.

I hope the guys can pick it up a little! Outside of Blake, who else is projected to be formidable this year in the 100m.
I watch the race asafa win
I will support Gayle
