Sha'Carri Richardson motions the need to take 200m lessons from Noah Lyles
Sha'Carri Richardson has seen no other person to take advice from at being a better 200m runner than from the current best in the event - Noah Lyles.
Melissa Jefferson, the United States silver medallist at their Trials is fourth on the list with 750 odds, while Jamaican legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce takes the fifth spot at 1000 odds.
)
Consequently, Lyles takes the lead in the men's category at 150 odds. Jamaica's new speed king Kishane Thompson is a close second at 250 odds, and his compatriot Oblique Seville third with 600 odds.
Africa's fastest men in the continent Letsile Tebogo, Ferdinand Omanyala, and Akani Simbine occupy the following spots, while defending Olympic champion Marcell Jacobs is ninth on the list.
)
If these predictions end up right, Richardson will become USA's first Olympic 100m gold medallist since 1996, and Lyles the first since Athens 2004.
