How many North American qualifiers at the sprint?

...Anyway, good luck to all in the sprints tomorrow. Should be some exciting online WOC coverage. how many North Americans to the final?

My "batting average" model would suggest that 2 North American runners will qualify for the sprint finals.

I also took a quick look at sprint results from the last 3 world champs. It looks like the North American's have had 1, 2 and 2 qualifiers in the last 3 world champs.

It'd be great if more made it.

    I think the last US man to qualify for a final was Brian May in 2004.

    I'm not sure of "why the long gap?"
