Julien Alfred WINS GOLD IN THE WOMEN'S 100M Gabby Thomas Sha'Carri Richardson , Shericka Jackson, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce
- Thread starter Gemini
- Start date
Damn! Didn't realize she did that. I knew she replaced her coach, but didn't know it was with her inexperienced husband. That could be the difference in her performance. I know Steiner and several others always mention their coach after a race. Those trainers are very important. A good one will notice small stuff and really help fine tune them before a race. Not sure her husband is able to view her the way a trained coach would. But sometimes you have as much success as she has. And you start to think you can maintain with a less qualified person.
so versatile ...paid her dues ....i`ll b shocked if she loses ...but hey thats why they run the races ...
27 and she is in her prime now ...i think she can go faster in the 100 ...
by her interviews she gets it ...she is like a coach and knows her weaknesses and if she messes up while she is running the race ...thats rare...
Can't wait to watch. The men 200m is gonna be fire too. Lyles and Knighton will square off again. I think the 18yr will best the "old man" this time. lol
Does anyone know why big pockets NIKE has failed and tcouldn't dislodge PUMA as Jamaica's main sponsors?

While well-intentioned, this video has ignored the 20 ton elephant in the room. In the 1960s and 1970s, the East German and the Soviet "women" dominated women's sprinting. In the 1980s and 1990s, American women dominated women's sprinting. Then the drug testing methodology got better. It is no wonder that Sha'Carri deliberately sabotaged her Olympic appearance, because whatever helped her run sub 11.1-second 100m times, would have been detected by WADA.
Since then, the African and Caribbean women have began to dominate women's sprinting, and will continue to do so. Because sprinting at the world and Olympic level has managed to weed out the cheaters. So it is no coincidence, now that African and Caribbean women are competing in "clean" field. Can you believe that in the 1970s, the Bulgarian women's 4x100m team smoked the Jamaican women's team. Where are the Bulgarian women sprinters nowadays? Did Bulgaria suddenly not have the resources to continue training their female athletes? Poor Merlene Ottey, always got Bronze, because she competed clean against other women who weren't.
anyone care to opine???
Nike has been spending less on track as the athletes in the sport just don't move product like ones in the other sports they really care about where they allocate their funds towards

Merlene always got the bronze to that East German chick (forgot her name) and Evelyn Ashford (who I dont think was cheating)...Evelyn and the other top US sprinters then started getting their ass beat by Flo Jo who got super fast all of a sudden...was an interesting time
Seems to be a more even playing field now...either the cheaters have been weeded out or everybody is cheating at the same level...hard to believe Bolt was cheating as they moved heaven and Earth to try and catch him
Among Jamaicans it is known that back in the day we would do extremely well at the Penn Relays at the high school level but then turn around and lose to those same athletes at the post collegiate level
That comment mentioned Sha'Carri...I have no idea about her but her crazy up and down performances seem more mental than drug induced
You can watch the meet on USA Network for anyone who doesn't have Peacock.
Elaine is hurt so its all good....I am happy Dina got a medal....before the games I wouldnt have thought Shelly Ann would get the silver
Shericka did what everybody thought she would...you knew from the semifinals how this would go...gold well deserved
Shericka did what everybody thought she would...you knew from the semifinals how this would go...gold well deserved
that would be sad. Track gave nike it’s start in Oregon
Just Perfect, I was so happy for Shericka Jackson , my baby Shelly Ann and sexy Dina Asher-Smith
Think Noah got it but its gonna be the last time he beats Knighton
I agree I think Noah will get him, but may the best man win.
Tru but u know how many favorites fade under those bright lights ...
ask Asafa ..Tyson Gay ...etc etc ...
She built for the pressure and bright lights like Bolt ...
Barring injury she dominating for the next 3 to 4 yrs easy ...
