First Event - 100 Meters

As I look down at my clipboard I notice the first event is the 100 meters. Wondering what to expect I start flipping through the pages attached and am surprised to find the athletes scores by event in numerous competitions. As I look at the numbers I realize we have about 3 groups in this initial event.

The speadsters:
- O'Brien
- Toomey
- Yang
- Campbell
- Rafer Johnson
- Thompson

The Middle Guys
- Thorpe
- Mathias
- Kuznetsov

The Non- Sprinters
- Dave Johnson
- Jenner
- Jarvinen
- Bausch
- Avilov
- Yrjola

While any of the the 15 atheles are capable of having a good performance in this event - I can't help thinking that a top group performer who does poorly will have a hard time overcoming the poor score and a bottom group performer who does extremely well will put themselves in a position to medal.

I realize that the individual winners of each event is irrelevent, however, I still mentally picture a finish where Thompson edges out O'Brien and Toomey.
