Rai Benjamin gives his race a C+ and still runs the 5th fastest time in history.

I love what Rai said about Sydney and Athing. He seems like a great guy. I really want him to get that gold so badly. I can tell he's hungry for it.

Rai - best interview in track and field for sure. Thanks for taking the extra time Rai, and shooting straight. Great point - the Olympics can make their own rules, why not add more qualified athletes (even if from the same country), instead of adding rounds to see unqualified athletes run in the Olympics (from a variety of countries)? It's not a festival of nations coming together, its a massive commercial enterprise. its not the best athletes in the world competing for the gold medal, its many of the best athletes, with others watching on TV because they took fourth in US Trials, (or British, or Jamaican)

Great job, Rai!

Congratulations Rai!
