*If you watch the Olympics closely

My bad, I didn't mean to make it sound like Bolt was somehow in the race with them haha

He deserves a lot of credit for beating Wariner. Jeremy's always come in with a sort of edge over everyone else in the field. I mean, I believe Wariner'll win in Beijing, but Merritt has confidence knowing that he's keeping pace despite the fact he's 2 years younger. Finally beating him in Berlin was like a tipping point, regardless of the quality of Wariner's race. Having the confidence to be NOT intimidated by a guy like Jeremy Wariner gives Merritt his very own edge over the field, Wariner included.

If you watch closely, you'll notice another athlete with this same mentality: Usain Bolt

The interviewers' focus was rediculous. Wariner has been dominant lately but Merritt won and the focus should be on Merritt. That annoyed me.

they just can't let it go can they. i understand that they're looking for a story and that's fine, but really....you can't ask the guy about HIS race and congratulate him? they just kept searching.
