Australian hurdler and defending world champion Sally Pearson has strong opinions on many subjects. She’s just touched on Usain Bolt, American Lolo Jones, the Jamaican sprinters — and herself.
— Although she believes athletics needs Bolt to be successful, she predicted a Jamaican sweep would be led by Yohan Blake.
— Jones deserves the attention she gets, but Dawn Harper should be in the spotlight because she’s the defending gold medalist.
— Pearson believes she’s fit enough to win the 100 hurdles, and had swagger in declaring herself “the hunted.”
