I think jamaica have more of a chance of winning in the 100m.

China. They're used to the conditions and have vastly improved on last time. The Americans have lost some of their medal hopes e.g Tyson Gay.

I agree with China because of the conditions ect, but USA still have alot of talent. Is Gay injured? If so that leaves the door wide open for Asafa Powell to win the gold in 100m.

China were 2 gold medals behind the USA in the last Olympics, and China were on foreign soil, with a much smaller team.

I think that tells you all you need to know lol.

Oh yeah. Hopefully one of the GB young runners will get a medal.
Anyway 100m should be rather close - maybe even a record broken. Tyson Gay won the 100m in the World Championships in Osaka last year aswell.

I believe it was 4 medals behind the USA, but that's not much of a gap either.

China have 200 more athletes than in Athens and only 100 of their current team were there for Athens. It's something like 649 athletes in their team. China will win by a reasonable margin I'll say and Britain will greatly improve.

He runs in the 100m but fell in the US trials for the 200m meaning that he didn't qualify to run.
