Women's 200m first round:

Allyson Felix (Santa Clarita, CA): It went well. I've been waiting around a long time, so I wanted to get out there and win as easy as possible. I've been watching my teammates and spending time with my family. [Asked about pressure as the favorite]: I guess [there is] a little bit, but I have really high expectations of myself. I wanted to go out there and kind of get my legs moving so I can come back to night.

Sanya Richards (Austin, TX): I was so anxious to get back on the track. I felt really easy, really strong, and I tried to conserve my energy until tonight. It's been really hard to watch the 400. They're running really fast and I know it's going to be a fast final. That's depressing, butI think the 200 is going to be exciting, too. I really wanted to get my start consistent. I know coach Hart is going to say I popped up. The next round I'm going to focus on the first 50 and do what I need to advance.

Torri Edwards (Corona, CA): I feel pretty good. I wanted to get back out there and focus on the 200. I haven't taken time to think about it [the 100m final]. I want to put it behind me and focus on the 200. I'm over it.
