Elaine Thompson will break the world record in

 
Jamstar 2021-08-01 01:01:10 

The 200.

That is all.

you think she will beat Miller-Uibo and Gabby Thomas?

In reply to hotarobin

Miller-Uilbo will be lucky to make top 5.

noted..

 
Brerzerk 2021-08-01 02:16:02 

Miller-Uibo will break-up the three peat at the slightest of error even a nano-second of mistake. That if she doesn't do it mistake or not. Asher's absence though significant does not mean the American was less likely to medal than her so watch out. 123 would again be great and is very likely

 
Brerzerk 2021-08-01 02:25:13 

What is ETH's PB, you think she could shave so much off it to achieve the WR?

 
Jamstar 2021-08-01 23:12:21 

In reply to Brerzerk

Absolutely.


Had she gotten perfect wind in the 100 she would have broken the 100 record.

Still asking this question

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if she does.
I like her lane draw too.,7. She has Talu inside her and Miller-Ubio to take aim at in 9.
Gabby Thomas in the tightest at 3 with Mama Rocket in 4.
Elaine ,talking bead at Ubio has the straight earlier once she starts well.
Yes she could as she has shown that she runs faster with each outing..having ran 21;66; 21.34 is in her sight the way she is running.
I would not put it pass her on a fast track but it will be a very hard task.
Hope se does,but winning must come first,not a record.
Let's hope she shows up right with winning on her mind.

Just know that MBoma will come from dead last to challenge her. That is all.

lol lol

In reply to hubert

perfect lane draw for Elaine. but 21.34 is out there. Nothing would please me more than to see Flo Jo erased. Elaine had more in the semis and did 21.66. I say go for the record. you have 3 gold medals already.

That is a positive approach that I like too.The is
that she is running extremely well and her opponents know it.
I want the quinella .

In reply to hubert

I want the quinella .


would that not be great? There is no time like the present and no bigger stage..flo jo records have been there for an entire generation... none of these women can see their names in the books or reap the rewards of world record holder. Elaine is in supreme form. 21.66 easing off the pedal. go and erase flo jo's record.


The great gabby not making the podium.

Gabby looks terrible to be honest..I would be very surprised to see her do any better than 5th..

y to hotarobinGabby looks terrible to be honest..I would be very surprised to see her do any better than 5th..




She is a non factor...i am just messing with nitro and the haters.. i cant believe Miller Ubo just ran the 400.. that has to take something out of her.

 
hotarobin 2021-08-03 02:02:36 

In reply to rudebway

I have no idea how Gabby recorded that time..maybe this is not a good time biologically for her..

it didnt really strike me until they said only woman to ever do the double double . not Ashford, no Marlies Ghor, not flo jo, not Shelly. just wow.

 
nitro 2021-08-03 13:34:47

I thought you would say Holmwood. Never heard of Knox being involved in sports.

 
Tryangle 2021-08-03 14:12:11 

Elaine Thompson has moved from T&F great to T&F legend category now. Wow.

rudebway 2021-08-03 14:37:21
