I actually thought that Tai Tzuying was the better player. Main problem with her is that she kept on making stupid mistakes as the game dragged on. Chen Yufei is far more stable as a player.

Wow, didn't know he's over 30. Surely, he knows why he chose to run the way he did.
My feeling is that he knows his best performance could only be the first run of the day, during the semi's, so he laid it all out there and put on a good show. If he had 'eased up' from 9.83 then he wouldn't have made the final since 9.84 was the cutoff for his semi grouping.
Bottom line is there is still another step up needed for China (and no other Usain Bolt's around) to get the gold.
Time to put the runners in wind tunnels too.
American Coleman the world champion was already suspended for missing drug tests. Any chance that Bromell stopped taking drugs that affected his performance?
Hopefully, Su Bingtian and Sun Yang will come back. Sun Yang will still be able to contribute to the relay teams.

You want to know why NBC ranking by Total Medals (implying equal weight to Gold=Silver=Bronze in terms of importance), is devoid of logic and reason?
Team USA pays Gold ($37,500), Silver ($22,500), Bronze ($15,000), which is a 2.5 to 1.5 to 1 ratio of weight or value. If you apply the weightings as a MPC (Medal performance composite) score, and then rank them:
Noticeable changes: US stays at 1, China stays at 2, but two Anglo-states (UK and Australia) fall one spot, while Japan jumps up one spot. India is nowhere to be found since it's a Gold Medal champion at 'Consistency Zero' game.

The lone Asian guy lol.
Even the Italian gold winner is half-black.
So like 7 blacks, 1 Asian in the finals....
If Tai Tzu Ying is that good, then she would have at least win one world championship after competing for it for 7 times. I think she is overrated. Tai might be talented but she hasn't shown she has what it takes to win a world title.
They'll start using per capital for the medal table when China start winning everything soon. No chance China be on top of any medal table then.
