She's at least competing and winning.

And what you got to say about her? With her head looking like a bag of melted Laffy Taffys

Sha'Carri is getting bread, is enjoying her celeb status and has a thread dedicated to her that gets more burn than any NBA or NFL player. Life is good, and I'm positive we'll be hearing from her more than anyone competing in this Olympics. Thread stay bumped.

True... but at least they got the Jamaican national record....

.... that team will be back though... Brianna Williams is just 19 years old, Shericka Jackson is 27 and Elaine Thompson-Herah is 29.... Also even though only Shelly-Ann is 34 years old and have not plans to run at another Olympics she still intend to run at next year's World Championship so I see Jamaica owning that record in the near future.

If Elaine can fight off the injury bug.

Financially I'm sure she's got more money now than she's ever had. Guaranteed she's salty about not being able to be in the Olympics. She's an athlete. All athletes wanna compete.

And don't be so sure about that "we'll be hearing more about her" stuff. She fucked off a chance of a lifetime when it was right around the corner. 3 years is a lot of time to be on some bull.

I wish her nothing but the best. But them Jamaican chicks fast af. It might have been in her best interest to have not been there this year to get smoked.

Jamaica is afraid of her. Woulda coulda shoulda. If they beat her this Olympics she woulda never be heard from again. Instead they and other haters rallied in her banning which made her even more popular!!! :lol: So now we don't know and they gotta watch her get all the bread and be a celeb for the next few years. Yea she ruined her life smoking weed and missing the racist ass Olympics. GTFOH!! Most of them Jamaican girls are old and won't be at the next 2 Olympics. And in a week will be out of the public psyche. Sha'Carri is 21, she will only be 24 next Olympics and will be killing other meets up until then AND endorsements.

Nike isn't dumb, they wouldn't be promoting her if her career trajectory was done. Hating is one thing, being factual is another. Right now more people know who Sha'Carri is than Cade Cunningham, and they both Nike athletes.

She will be OK... Stephen Francis is the master of preparation. I'm guessing now that she's older and more injury prone from body 'wear and tear' he will be very selective with her training and races and also increase her physio treatment over the season.

Has she ever ran a time faster than what the gold medal winner just put up?

In the Olympics? No. But we don't know what her fastest time would be. Most runners save their best times for the Olympics. Using Sha'Carri's preliminary times to project what she will do in the Olympics is a joke. Again, there was an easy way to see if they can beat her. Now we'll never know.

So what happened in the two last World Championships?
She didn't win any medal.

She is the defending champ?

She's the biggest star. Anybody that loses to her can't go back to their homeland. They will be heavily ostracized.
Dude WTF?? You di realize that in many of the premier events and sports US athletes are usually favored and in the sprint events heavily so(with the exception of Jamaica). That's why when we lose it's big deal. Shit I'd say that beating the US is as much a big deal as winning gold itself. If Poland loses to a black US sprinter in the 100 meters his country isn't going to ostracize him. :rolleyes: ...even Jamaica has a healthy respect for US track athletes..

Any Jamaican that loses to Sha'Carri can't go back to Jamaica. They've boxed themselves into a corner. She can't be faster than any of them, if she is :itsawrap:

She was injured...Olympics being pushed back a year probably helped Elaine...think it was some common injury athletes get but I don't remember the name...I honestly thought she was done

Luck wasn't on her side... and yes, I'll agree to a certain extent that injuries did slightly play a part leading up to to championships... I'm hoping that the worse it is now behind her and she and her coach can work on a plan that will help her to stay fit and injury free.

All because she wasn't disciplined enough not to be smoking

I have to agree. There is too much hype put on those Jamaican women for them too lose to an American.
I saw mad disrespect shown by Jamicans, Jamaican Americans, and others from the Caribbean, and African countries. They really showed out.

Sha'Carri wasnt out there. If she was, different story. Any Jamaican that runs slower than her is done. There is alot of pressure on them to beat HER.

The money she getting is nothing compared to what she could've gotten. The broad co$t herself some cash, thats not up for debate. One Dre Beats commercial is nothing compared to the influx of companies that would have wanted her to endorse their products. Being an accomplished winner is what companies want their brands to be associated with. What has Sha'Carri accomplished? Being able to say "Olympic medalist Sha'Carri Richardson eats/uses our product" Holds a lot more weight than just saying hey "Sha'Carri likes it". You may think the Olympics is racist and ain't shit, but companies do research, and understand having their products associated with Olympic WINNERS is good for business.

And I'm not too sure she'll be able to stay focus over the next 3 years to qualify. Like you said, she's enjoying her extra bread and new found fame.

Before the Olympics we were talking about Sha'Carri, now it's just about over and guess who we are still talking about? We'll see how often the people who competed are mentioned on this board over the next calendar year compared to her.

Dude we're talking about her not because she's the greatest sprinter competing that would be Elaine Thompson-Herah. We're talking about her because she fucked up at the most crucial point of her career. Make no mistake competitively speaking missing the Olympics was a huge blunder. That's what we're talking about. You can't dispute that so you deflect with endorsements and money.
