Hopefully this time around everyone will be satisfied with the poll

Gotta go David Oliver. Dude set the AR, threatened the WR and dominated all year.

Ugh this is hard. I don't like to clump hurdles and sprints together; they're really not the same.

Hurdler of the year? Easily David Oliver. That kind of dominance in an off year is crazy.

Flat sprinter of the year? Gay. Not even a question. Broke 9.80 twice in an off-year, and was the first man to beat Bolt in a head-to-head 100m since 2008.

I ended up voting for Gay just because of how he wasn't able to do all he was capable of in the 100/200 in 08/09 due to injury, and beating Bolt in an open 100 is going to free him up mentally for the first time since Bolt ran that 9.72 in NY in 2008.

This is just for USA, probably should've included that in title or something

Plus he really didn't do anything anyway.
