bit competition credit finishing good name performance pleased season tight
I am really pleased with the season this year. I feel I have established better credit to my name and feel I am more consistent. My hamstring was a little bit tight about 20 meters to the finishing line, but it was a good race, I think my performance was good, the competition was great.

I am satisfied with the race, especially the track and the local fans. Shanghai gives me a very good impression. I will come here again next year.
came equal fast game good ran running sean technical
Leonard Scott ran a very good technical race, Sean Crawford came through easily, everybody's running really fast and times are pretty much equal in the first round. So everybody's going to have to come out and put their game on.
announcer audience good goose lane patient playing switched three wrong
They were playing duck, duck, goose with the lanes. They couldn't find out who was in Lane 3 or Lane 7 or Lane 8, so they switched it around. Then the announcer called it with the wrong lanes, so they switched it around again. They did that about three times. But the audience was patient, we were patient and we put on a good show.
good grab grip guys held nerves obviously onto stadium stick stuck taking
I just thought it was a little nerves from the start; a lot of these guys have never raced in a stadium that big. Leonard stuck out his hand. Mardy held onto the stick tight, a little too tight. Leonard went to grab it and obviously had a good grip on it, and he was taking it out of Mardy's hand, and Mardy still wouldn't let go.
boundaries good man
I am working on my start, once I have a good start, I think I can go to boundaries that no other man has been to.

It would be a great time to try for the 100m world record. I'm the world champion. Of course I want that world record.

It would be nice to grab first place in both events. If I run a great race tomorrow I can finish top of the 200 as well.

The second half of the race was mine.

I've been dreaming about this since I started racing. I've lived for this moment. it was a very great race, the competition was stellar.

Pre has always produced fast times and great races. I'm looking forward to running fast like I did there last year.
