My brothers and sisters in Jamaica and the Caribbean…I hope you and family are safe. I can’t wait for the Olympics. May the best athletes win!

So people really think Noah will beat kishane? If both runners execute their races well I doubt Noah will win, kishane ran faster than Noah Lyle's pb twice in a matter of few hours without going 100% I'd say the real battle would be between Seville and Lyles

The losses to Bolt were respectable, he was the best ever. Jacob's win was a punch in the gut to USA sprinters!!!

my opinion is that if someone runs a high 9.7 (like 9.79 or 9.78) lyles may be able to close the gap, but if someone runs 9.7 mid or low then i don't think he will be able to close fast enough

I think Tebogo is going to shock a lot of people this year. Sadly, his mother recently passed away, and that of course might negatively effect his performance, but I still think he's going to shock a lot of people, especially in the 200m.

This is crazy. People really betting on Lyles over Kishane? 100 is not even Lyles event; he can only win if no one runs a 9.7.

Tbh id say the 100m is open... Dont forget we have some guys who havent even gotten serious to run the 100m apart from the us athletes....Simbine,Tebogo,Marcel,Omanyala,De grasse... Remeber when Kerley didnt make the final...last yr year thats the 100m for you

Track fans are very one track minded. Even though noah has been the most consistent runner, they still look at someone’s personal best and rule him out. There are a handful of guys noah has faced with better PB than him and he still has been able to beat them. You don’t run around your pb all year (unless you are named shelly ann Fraser price that year she would just wake up and decide to run 10.60s🤣) Anyways kishane looks like a very complete 100m runner but I am Not jumping on the bandwagon because of one race. He has been injured and inconsistent and he definitely has a chance to prove himself. If he does he might be able to be the next bolt for jamaica!

You say oblique Seville too casually. America will be reminded of why we are sprinting champions.

Watching Kishane's race at Jamaican Nat's was scary. There is more in his tank

kishane shut it down early on that 9.7. I think he could hit 9.69. Lyles has never broke 9.8. He just doesn't have the power in his start and relies on that top end speed at the end.

The problem child Kishane has entered the chat. If he doesn't spazz out, he is the next global superstar. Everybody saw what happened in Jamaica. That boy is the truth.

I love Sha’carri’s stride. It’s very unique and blends power and efficiency with excellent form. A lot comes down to how well she gets off the line, but I really hope she has a good race and the gold goes to the one with the most pure running style.

Sherika will be in 10.6 shape , Sherika never forget the races.

The only thing that can prevent Kishane from winning is his fitness. If he remains fit, he's easy money for the 100 M. Kishane is going to run 9.6X and Noah simply cannot go that fast... No one else can in fairness.

I am hoping Kishane wins, but that Tebogo is like a sleeper cell, they need to watch out for him coming because that kid is dangerous.❤❤❤❤ but for sure, the 100m men will be an epic showdown.

Kishane and Oblique are looking very impressive!

Fred Kyrley is going peak and shock everyone for the gold.

In the words of Noah Lyles, personal bests are just that, PERSONAL. You can beat your PB, Breaking someone’s record, and make history for your country in the same race you just lost.

Great analysis and video once again. Could you please make or include details of days/start times for specific track events in Paris time (converted to EST) so to make sure we don't miss the action on the track. I think that would make a highly viewed video. Thanks

Kishane wins 🏆 🪙🥇🏅

I would never bet against Lyles. He knows how to kick it up a notch as required.

I'm excited for this more than usa basketball. At least you know there is competition.

Kishane is my choice for favourite based on his rapid progress over the last three years but only time will tell if he can handle the pressure of an Olympic Games.

@Total Running Productions: WHERE IS THE VIDEO YOU MADE OF KISHANE THOMPSON WHEN HE RAN 9.77???? I am searching for it but cannot find it 🤔

Recency bias is clouding people's opinions. Kishane is fast, but you know who also has a faster PB than Lyles? Omenyala. And remind me again how he did at the World Championships and Olympics? Running fast times is great and all, but if you can't do it at the biggest meets, it's all for not. Lyles already proven that he can perform when the lights are bright, we don't know about that for Kishane yet.

I wasn’t going to comment but do I think SR is a favorite in W100m? Yes. Almost 4yrs after winning the Bowerman, her head seems to be on straight. She’s always been fast, and is catching the legendary 🇯🇲 trio on the back-half of their careers (age, injuries). HOWEVER, never say never. 🇯🇲 has some talent in the cut (Clayton). But the entire nation is rooting for her - which is what she wants. NOW, Lyles has more to worry about than 🇯🇲: Kenny said he’s coming for Lyles in Paris. 👀.

Where on earth did you find these odds? The margin is 40% for each of these events right into the pockets of the bookmaker. Did the math myself. That is crazy. Normally, here in Denmark, it is only 5%.

Lyles will place 3rd at best in the 100m at the Olympics, but he will win the 200m easily. Go argue with your parents.

I think this will be the battle of Top end speed. But I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone analyse Thompson 100m yet, I’d love to see the data on his top speed, 0-60m etc. during his 9.7 run!

Noah has been building towards a pb and 9.7 is clearly on the table

Tebogo is gonna be a huge sleeper for both 100m/200m.

Kishanes time of 9.77 was with a +0.9 wind speed, same with Sevilles 9.82 +0.9 wind speed. While Lyles 9.83 was with only a 0.4 wind speed. That makes a significant difference at this level in actual times. All of these speeds are almost identical when calculating for increased help in wind speed. (as everyone will be participating with same wind speed) Kishanes other run with a 0.6 wind speed was only a 9.84 (and he has only crossed into 9.7s once this entire year)

+1600 is great value for Kenny

Here’s the thing, Oblique Seville fast time all took place in Jamaica. Can he handle the pressure on a World Stage in a different country?

Kishane Thomson's is the the sprinter to beat at the Paris Olympics. His time in recent runs are insane.. and that speak volume of his recent performance... As always I will rely on time to be a good story teller when dust settles in the final of blue ribbon events in the summer Olympics. Cheers..

The difference with Kishane and Asafa, is Asafa has a bullet start from out the block but tends not to hold that speed to the finish line, however, Kishane doesn't have Asafa bullet start but has better top end speed that makes him a better finisher than Asafa.

2:15 it’s called “dumb money”. Attracts bets to either side of the line triggering wagers to happen thus moving the line. Wanna bet it closes to parity by the time they get to Paris? Thats how it works. I’ll happily eat crow but that line will be even in 3 weeks between a Noah and Kishane. Happens all the time. Said it before I’ll say it again… an athlete like Kishane with only one responsibility and in his specialty no less is dangerous. Especially when you have a doubler like Noah, a shortened sprinting program to just 5 days, and now repechage rounds. You love to cite Noah’s ability to go fast in the semis… if he goes to deep waters worrying himself with glory heat victories like he did racing Kenny to the line in an early round, he may be paying for that later. It’s a weak 200m field so if he can pull off the upset, bc let’s get real beating Kishane is an upset, he’s going to thrash the field in the 2. But if Kishane executes, which I would wager he will given how incredibly effective his program was this taper, so long as Noah is smart and mentally prepared to accept a podium, he should be in great shape to finish strong. I still think had he not doubled in Paris he’d knock on the door of the world record for the 2. There’s a reason no one can replicate Bolt’s ability to double at the Games. His ability to manage the entire competition is unmatched. The discipline to run fast only when required is an overlooked skill. I hope Noah dusts Kishane all the way off. But he’s the exact same age bolt was when he arrived and beat the brakes off the field coming from seemingly no where in the 100 never under 9.84 ish until the record setting final. Unfortunately for Noah, this may be that time for Kishane. Noah has the pace to challenge. It’s just the 200m he’ll need some legs for. The one thing in Noah’s favor is we really don’t know what Kishane will do with someone at his heels hawking him down. My man Wallace spearmon made many sprinters crumble down the stretch hearing footsteps. But that’s the scary thing… Kishane still hasn’t shown full beans just yet. Not entirely. And Noah’s race depends on closing speed. It’s looking like Kishane closes similar to Noah… and has a good start haha idk how you beat that. If someone can it’ll be Noah in that field but that’s probably it. It’s going to be a ridiculous 2 weeks of racing can’t wait hope you’re covering it through to final ceremony !

Don't like that this video is essentially a DraftKings promo.

Don’t kishane your eggs before they are hatched

I think it's gonna take 9.75 to win

Kishane run well this season but he is not that experienced athlete as Lyles, Lyles will be stronger in the mental game because it’s gonna be an olimpic final and not gonna be easy in mental. But we know well Lyles, he is so confident and I think he is gonna beat Kishane! But all respect for him fo 9.77

It is hard to compare times from races run on different tracks during different conditions.

To say Shelly Fraizer-Pryce would have to run the race of her life to beat Richardson is over the top.Considering Shelly Fraizer-Pryce has ran under 10.7 more times than any female sprinter ever.Also she has ran 10.60 which is Faster then any time Richardson had run. It would be more accurate to say Shelly Fraizer-Pryce would only have to run what she had already run to beat Richardson.

Hurricane 🌀 Kishane for the Win 🥇

Guys, where do u watch the Paris Olympics??

Tebogo is going to be the biggest upset in Paris

If Sha'carri replicates similarly to her Budapest World Championship win in the 100m, I definitely think she is contention to break 10.5 and break Elaine's Olympic Record of 10.61m. And considering how France is with their weather, the wind should be a little more beneficial than it was in Hungary with all the humid conditions.

Based on his 9.77, his muscularity, focus only on the 100 meter, I give the edge to Thompson at the Olympics

On the men's side, it's a really hard call. I think the top 8 or 9 all have a real shot at the podium. And I feel that Kishane, Oblique, Letsile or Kenny could potentially snatch the gold, unless… Noah could be hiding his cards by not running his absolute fastest in the trials, in order to surprise his rivals in Paris. Noah has to run sub 9.8 in Paris if he wants the gold.

Personally i would love to see a showdown between Lyles and Tebogo in the 200m

I think kishane runs low 9.7 I think Lyles breaks 9.80. Seville probably breaks his pb excited to see them in action

Never been a more tense championship since 2015 when ppl doubted Bolt. This, right here - I need popcorn and a whole lotta cream soda

People (especially Kishane supporters) in these comments are getting way too defensive. KT isn’t the favourite because Lyles is the reigning 100m WC, and KT only just cemented himself as a legit challenger. Lyles has been proving doubters wrong his whole career, and he has proven it on the world stage. KT hasn’t, Seville hasn’t, so despite what happened in Jamaica this season, at the trials, or between Seville and Lyles, Seville and KT both have to prove they can handle the pressure on the world stage before they can be considered favourites.

These rankings are understandably biased by statistics, without considering peak form strategies or even the psychological patterns of the athletes when it comes to international competitions. I wouldn't leave out the podium Jacobs and DeGrasse, especially the latter since he won multiple medals in the Olympics. These two are always dangerous when it comes to international events of this caliber, they know very well when to peak at their maximum forms. Anyway, I really cannot wait to see them all running, especially Noah in the 200m I feel like he's cooking something good!

You must be joking! There’s no way that 3 females is finishing in front of Shelly Ann. Been to 4 Olympic 100m finals, and each occasion, brought home a medal, this will be no different. It will be be 5 different Olympic 100m finals, and each time a medal. Don’t know what color medal, but take that to the bank, she’s absolutely going to medal!

Kishane is the overwhelming favorite. Noah Lyles shouldn’t even be a factor. Both Kishane and Oblique ran faster than Noah’s PB more than once this season. Noah is maxed out at 9.83 he needs to worry about the 200m because that one ain’t looking good for him either.

My predictions on how the men’s & women’s 100m will end in Paris Kishane: 9.74 Oblique: 9.78 Noah: 9.79 S. Richardson : 10.57 S. Jackson: 10:69 Julian: 10.72

Women's 100 meters winner will run a high 10.6 (Richardson) because she rarely runs through the line when she is ahead, however, that can change if she has a great start and runs through the line. The Men's 100 meters winner will run high 9.7 (Lyles) because of his last 15-10 meters foot speed. I also see Kung Fu Kenny on Podium in both the 100m and of course the 200m.

There will be a factor of "the most important race of 4 years" coming to a play. I predict Thompson, Seville and Tebogo on the rostrum of men 's competition. Americans will steal the show in 200m though. On women's side, classy clash between America's best Richardson and Jamaican bests. Let's see who will sell the form best and keep the nerves at bay there 😉 my money's on Sha'carri though. As for times, it depends on wind conditions, but I see men's gold at

Shit, looks like an easy way to make money betting on Kishane.

I feel like some of these odds are good longshot bets.

To be honest, it's wide open! Anyone can pull a surprise! Being Jamaican, I'm going to be biased, but in all honesty, it's open for the taking, both for the women and men!

Andre de grasse will win

On paper, Kishane Thompson should be the Gold medalist from these Olympic Games. However, things can happen including injuries, weather, nerves and the experience you have at competitions. I'm sure Kishane & Seville have been preparing and will be giving their best at Paris. The question really comes down if they can replicate these times when the medals at stake on the big stage. However, when you look at someone like Lyles, who many have consistently doubted him or posed someone else to beat him at major championships, Noah over the past 2 years always prevails. I don't believe Noah has reached his peak in the 100 or 200 this season and I think we may see more improvements from Lyles at the Olympics. I also think Marcell Jacobs has a very good chance to medal considering his consistency this year, his victory at Europeans and the lack of injuries his picked up. He may dip under his PB and be in the mix too. There are many names that can be a contender for the Gold medal but we will have to wait and see what happens from the heats onwards.

Lyles can perform under pressure, but he has to execute a perfect race to win the 100, he has improved his start but others (kishane, Oblique) are more talented in this regard. I'm expecting an exciting race, and hope to see Kerley in the mix.

I'm hoping US men and women sprinters get sharp and consistent at executing their race plans, especially their starting and reaction times out of the blocks! US sprinters don't seem to be consistent with every race, unlike the Jamaicans. You have to give them credit, if they beat on the start they tend to have great forum so you generally don't catch them in the second half of a race, just telling the truth so I hope US sprinters make it a priority to become consistent on their starts and relay exchanges!!!!!😊

Still have Lyles coming out on top. Kishane is going to impress for sure but people take recent races WAY TOO MUCH into consideration. Lyles has been way more consistent last year and definitely into this year. More curious about Oblique who's shown that consistency as well.

Kishane Thompson easily has the Highest ceiling of all men in the 100m. However, it's about titles; coach Francis has more success with women sprinters getting OLY titles & coach Mills has more success with male sprinters getting OLY titles. Let's also Not forget that Lyles has No OLY individual titles yet. I pick Jamaica to go 1-2 in Paris, with Thompson winning it all.

I pick my African Kenyan brother Omanyala to unlock the beast in him and become first African to win Olympic Gold in 100m🙏

Kishane Thompson gold medal with 9.75 is my prediction

These are American odds. Lyles will be beaten by both Thompson and Seville. Fred Kerley, who most likely ran enough at the Trails to qualify for the Olympics, has run 5 times below 9.80, while Lyles never ran below 9.83.

I would not be shocked if Noah Lyles does not medal the 100.

I think the men's 100m is really hard to call. But for me, it comes down to Lyles, Thompson, Seville, Omanyala and Tebogo as the top 5 (no particular order). Beyond that, I don't think guys like DeGrasse, Kerley or Jacobs have a chance of winning this time around, but who knows? You can never fully write off a previous champion. For the women's 100m, while I personally would love seeing Fraser-Pryce win again, I don't think it's gonna happen. I think Richardson is just too strong and too consistent right now, I don't see anyone else that could defeat her if she keeps it together.

Would think Kishane a little closer with his time and confidence and Lyles hasn't broke 9.8 right? Kishane showed clear 9.70 potential. Melissa Jefferson is who I'm rooting for. Think she hasn't peaked yet at 22.

World record next time Fred touch the track

Kishane🔛🔝

Wow you probably listened to Gatlins podcast, literally the exact same reaction

omanyala has explosive speed but guys such as lyles seem to intimidate him, if he puts his head down and race against himself he could win

Hurricane 🌀 Kishane the next global superstar has just arrived 👏🏽🇯🇲👏🏽🇯🇲👏🏽🇯🇲

Mens USA isnt touching the podium in the 100m.

So what we are saying is gold medalist Marcell Jacob’s who shocked everyone in the last Olympics and should not be considered has zero chance of a re-upset. However you look at this all the runners have to go through all the heats and some may very well may will fall start given they’ve never been in the Olympics. That is a very big difference in experience vs speed. Let the gantlet down and hope that no one shot their load to early before the Olympics because only the win matters not the time, unless you are Usain Bolt where both were always his allies when he consistently broke Records.

What I was shocked to discover is that Noa Lyles has a wider stride than Bolt! No wonder he believes he can run 9.41

100m = Kishane/Tebogo 200m = Tebogo

Sha'Carri Richardson wins gold 100 m

I think Noah Lyles will drop the times of 9.81 in the 100m dash and 19.36 in the 200m

I'd love it if Omanyala finally got his timing right and caused a huge upset with a podium finish 😁

shelly will be ready, the Jamaican women will be peak for the olypmpics

The king of 100M is Kishane.👑🔥🎉

Olympic atmosphere will break shacarri and shericka will win. It’s a different game. Kishane is super fast so the Olympic pressure will be balanced out.

I’m willing to bet even tho Lyle’s has momentum and If the winning time is somewhere in 9.8 he will most likely win but I don’t think he will ever go far under 9.8 just because his talents lie more in the 200m so if the 100m time is anything what Thompson did I don’t think it is as likely he will win

Thompson juiced up 💉

USA will not return to the top...rhey have been there in the men's since Bolt. SO its Jamaican men that will return to the top while the Jamaican women continue to dominate 😂 🇯🇲

shelly ann is 37 how fast a 37yr old sprinter is going to run?

My guess is Kishane Thompson will be the Bromell of the 2024 Olympics. He will go out in the semifinals.

I put Zharnel Hughes, Omanyala and Simbine in the mix

A month ago nobody was talking about this guy you guys were all over Seville go figure

Where do you find the ranking?

Wasnt gatlin dq’d for drugs after this 2004 win?
