but now it is up to 101%. Saw the story on her last night during the US trials. Didnt realize she had such serious pregnancy complications. Wonderful that she spoke in congress and advocated for african american women regarding the disparities in health care and pregnancy/delivery issues.


knew there was something special about chicken legs.

Watched her as well - I knew she had a really bad pregnancy but loved how she discussed the overall racist treatment of Afro-American pregnant women.

Nuff respect due.

nah..i know what u mean..i know those NBC olympic stories...but Chicken Legs has always been a class act. Sweet like condense milk. she didnt even win her semi, so she is not a favourite. I saw Bromell in Miramar a week or two ago. it didnt "look" like 9.77, but hey. If you recall, he and Degrass were supposed to take the mantle after Bolt, but both had bad injuries.

I met her in person years ago. Extremely nice individual. No wonder Trinidave does get jealous when I talk about she. Always wish her the best.

I can't deny that she is a class act though I am not a fan..I had always like Bromell though and I believe that he has the potential to be faster than Coleman..too bac Coleman can't be in the lineup..unfortunately, the Caribbean don't seem to have any horses in the race..
