even yohan blake 19.26


and he slowed at the end

And stumbled at the beginning. Very very sad. It’s a shame how things went for him since.
People don’t realize how early he got injured. He was only 24, not even close to his prime

bailey go ta million for winning that race in a packed skydome

do people still get bags like that? If not, what changed? Is it just the general lack of profile for the sport?

Part of athletics is recovering from injury. That's why nothing is guaranteed.

Abby Steiner has plenty of time to still go up, especially if she fixes that raggedy ass form Girl’s arms are all stiff and rocking from side to side.

But fukk all that, Shelly and Dina

She just has to get back into form. I don't think she is catching Shericka in the 200 again, but she should still be seen as the fav in the 100 when she is on form.

19.80 for Knighton was not what I expected

Even if youre quick, Doing it on the big stage is tough. Especially if youre a highschooler.

Lyles used to choke at times when he was younger, now look at him.

 

[MikelArteta]

nah

yup as you can see tape delay and buried on second rate channels

ben johnson, flo jo , carl lewis were making millions in the 80s and bailey and johnson in the 90s

they were lucky in tokyo shericka eased up and didn't make the semis

Breh, relax. Even if you ignore the PED use, which she did because the spike in time there is no explanation, she set the 100-meter world record and the wind was somehow zero even though it was like +.4 throughout the rest of the event.

And she used PEDs. She retired right before the new testing came into place, and I mean it was known it was coming.

Regardless of how one feels about FloJo, there is NO SOLID evidence that she used PEDs.

Only conjecture and speculation. She never failed a drug test.

 

[MikelArteta]

crazy how asher is running in the commonwealth next week and then the europeans a few weeks after
bawse

 

[King Static X]

Anyways, congrats to Shericka Jackson & Noah Lyles on winning the 200M races. Crazy and insane sprinting by the both of them.

Being a Jamaican-American is like a cheat code for track & field fandom. I get to cheer for both.
