Well, obivously not about today (and not about getting into finals), but I think that KJT has a great shot at a medal.
Also believe that Henry and DAS have a chance at the 100m final. Currently only the USA (3x), Jamaica (3x), Ivory Coast (2x) and The Netherlands (1x) are ahead of them in the rankings. And especially the Ivory Coast women are catchable.
As for the 200m, only Schippers, Felix, Bowie and Thompson are almost certainly in the final. The rest of the places are up for grabs. Assuming that DAS will go for the 200m in Rio, as I can't see a time (/mark) for her yet this year. Surprisingly enough, KJT is currently the UK's fasted female 200m sprinter.
