BRITISH OLYMPIC TRIALS (August 11-13)

100m 200m
BTSF  
1) Jason Gardener 2) Darren Campbell 3) Dwain Chambers 1) Christian Malcolm 2) Marlon Devonish 3) Marcus Adam
Comments: Chambers will be in tough to make the team because of injuries Comments: Malcolm has been my pick since he ran 20.54 indoors in Ghent
Track 11  
1) Jason Gardener 2) Dwain Chambers 3) Darren Campbell 1) Christian Malcolm 2) Julian Golding 3) Marlon Devonish
SLecontov  
1) Jason Gardener 2) Darren Campbell 3) Ian Mackie 1) Christian Malcolm 2) Julian Golding 3) Marlon Devonish
Blair Bass  
1) Jason Gardener 2) Darren Campbell 3) Ian Mackie 1) Christian Malcolm 2) Julian Golding 3) Marlon Devonish
Comments: Chambers is struggling through injury and Ian Mackie isn't looking too bad this year (beat Bailey earlier). Time here to qualify should be about 10.12-10.18(for 3rd) and I just can't see young Lewis-Francis doing that.  
Prime .
1) Dwain Chambers 2) Jason Gardener 3) Darren Campbell 1) Christian Malcolm 2) Marlon Devonish 3) Julian Golding
Blair Miller  
1) Darren Campbell 2) Jason Gardener 3) Ian Mackie 1) Christian Malcolm 2) Julian Golding 3) Marlon Devonish
Comments: Campbell will upset Gardener, he is peaking at the right time. Mackie likewise will surprise and just nip Chambers for the trip to Sydney. Comments: It's hard to go against Malcolm and Golding will get second on strength in the final 50 metres.

CANADIAN OLYMPIC TRIALS (August 11-13)

100m 200m
BTSF  
1) Bruny Surin 2) Glenroy Gilbert 3) Pierre Browne 1) Bruny Surin 2) Glenn Smith 3) Pierre Browne
Comments: Surin will take in the 9.90-9.95 range, Gilbert will just get second based on experience. Comments: The top two are obvious, if Surin runs. Pierre Brown has been impressive this year.
Track 11  
1) Bruny Surin 2) Brad McCuaig 3) Glenroy Gilbert 1) Bruny Surin 2) Glenn Smith 3) Pierre Browne
SLecontov  
1) Bruny Surin 2) Donovan Bailey 3) Pierre Browne 1) Pierre Browne 2) Jermaine Joseph 3) O'Brian Gibbons
KS  
1) Donovan Bailey 2) Bruny Surin 3) Pierre Browne 1) Pierre Browne 2) Glenn Smith 3) Shane Niemi
Ira  
1) Donovan Bailey 2) Bruny Surin 3) Pierre Browne 1) Bruny Surin 2) Glenn Smith 3) O'Brian Gibbons
Blair Bass  
1) Donovan Bailey 2) Bruny Surin 3) Pierre Browne 1) Bruny Surin 2) Pierre Browne 3) Glenn Smith
Comments: I see Bailey in 9.90-9.94. Surin should also run his first sub 10 of the year. I like Browne in under 10.20 (his PB is 10.24). Watch out for Gilbert, Betty and Gibbons to challenge Browne. McCuaig and Troy Dos Santos are not looking good. Comments: Bruny has a good shot at running a Canadian record in the 200 (if he runs). I pick Browne here as well and Smith to represent Canada again this year. Watch for Jermaine Joseph, O'Brian Gibbons and Michael Niccolini to challenge
Prime  
1) Bruny Surin 2) Donovan Bailey 3) Glenroy Gilbert 1) Glenn Smith 2) Bruny Surin 3) Pierre Browne
Blair Miller  
1) Bruny Surin 2) Donovan Bailey 3) Pierre Browne 1) Glenn Smith 2) Pierre Browne 3) O'Brian Gibbons
Comments: Look for a repeat of the 98 & 99 Canadian Champs with a fast time being posted by Bruny and Donovan. Browne is the future and he'll get Glenroy who's sliding down. Comments: Obviously if Bruny runs he has this one locked up, but I doubt he'll run. Glenn Smith will show the experience he gained at the 99 Worlds to get the win and Browne will
make himself known for the second time in the Championships.
