10.3 with high school training is ridiculous fast! You guts are not thinking. These guys on the NFL could be track stars with proper training.

Exactly and most NFL players have to put on more muscle and weight which might slow them down. NFL players would be just as fast if they had trained to run track instead of Football.
And Chris Johnson ran that with football muscle weight since he is a running back who have to carry more weight than a straight up track runner.

Of course they have the potential to be pro track and field athletes, they just wont be beating Gay, Gatlin or Dix for that matter, and a few others.(who were running 10.2's in HS on top of some of them also playing football) It's not like they're automatically going to become top tier pro sprinters if they started training for track, that's like saying an NFL player will be better than Lebron/D.rose, etc just because they have the potential to join the NBA.
Also I made a mistake, it was Ochocinco who ran that 10.3 in the 100m, I don't think Chris Johnson has ever ran track.
There is a good handful of people in the NFL capable of running 10.0x if they trained for it, but there is most likely no one in the NFL capable of running 9.8x aside from Trindon Holiday. Sidenote: Walter Dix signed a contract with Nike for 1mil a year.

Chris Johnson is not yhe fastest player in the league.
Just cuz he has the fastest 40 time don't make you the fastest.
America still has the best athletes though.

After the piss poor performance from both men & women track team @ the last Olympics, we got to redeem ourselves. Especially the women's relay. Smh @ that dabatcle in 08'.

She will be an alternate for the race. I guess she is hoping that Felix bails out so she can concentrate on the 200. Anyway Tarmoh is still going to London with the 4x100.

what i meant is population wise America should have a better chance at winning more events, because your country produces more people. it's like high school they give high school sports different divisions depending on how many children attend because they feel the more children the more chances of having athletes.

@darkone360 aside from the 4x100 relays, we had a pretty decent showing.
Broke the Olympic 4x400 record
went 1 2 3 in the 400m
went 1 2 3 in the 400m hurdles
Walter Dix got a bronze medal in the 100m

Yeah, I see what you're saying. It's been that way for years in the sprints, Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell or the ones mainly responsible for taking away America's sprint dominance, and it's not that America is lacking in talent, it's just that Usain Bolt is running some really outrageous times.

She pulled out because she really felt she won the first time. She also didnt believe she could beat Alison in a rematch obviously.
