Endorsed. Yohan is spent. It is unfortunate but it is what it is. He will struggle to make the relay pool. What I really want to see is Kishane Thompson running. See if that run last year was a fluke or if he is the real deal.

Yohan is a figment of his previous self. His mindset may be there, but physically not anywhere he needs to be.Hard to see him making the team for Paris.Too many young guns to deal with.

Been wondering myself. If Yard for instance are 100m W defending Champs don't they get a bye? If a team at a future meet runs
faster time than some so-called qualified team then what gives? I'm lost.

I don't think the bye is a thing any more.

A very weird new system! And especially when the relays are so early in the outdoor system and long before many national trials.
Many athletes from various countries main objective in an Olympic year is to be ready for and able to qualify for their team's indiviual
and relay events. Missing one dege-dege relay event/championship where their 2nd tier team fails to qualify shouldn't have such an impact
as non-qualification.

 
camos 2024-05-05 21:15:11 

This can't be the only meet that qualifies a team?

In reply to Brerzerk

It is a harsh selection process. It seems the bye is now only applicable to the World Champs, and not the Olympics.

1) Qualifier One, eight races, top two qualify for the Olympics (and the World Relays finals) = 8 Olympic qualifiers
2) Qualifier Two, six races, top two qualify for the Olympics = 6 Olympic qualifiers
3) In addition to the 14 qualifying from the World Relays, two further relay teams will qualify for the Olympics, based upon world rankings

Qualifier Two events

Mixed 4x400m relay

Heat One
1) Bahamas 3:12.81 (Gardiner-Addersley-Russell-Miller Uibo) qualify for the Olympics
2) Jamaica 3:14.49 (Barnes-Anderson-Clarke-Russell) qualify for the Olympics
3) South Africa 3:15.96
4) Japan 3:16.02
5) Guyana 3:17.65

Women's sprint relay

Heat Two
1) Jamaica 42.74 (Williams-Clayton-Burchell-Reid) qualify for the Olympics
2) Trinidad 43.54 qualify for the Olympics

Heat Three
1) Nigeria 42.71

4) Bahamas 43.32

Men's 4x100m relay

Heat Three
1) South Africa 38.08

5) Bahamas 39.21
Trinidad DNF

Women's mile relay

Heat One
1) Jamaica 3:28.54 (McGregor-Young-Williams-Bromfield) qualify for the Olympics
2) India 3:29.35

Men's 4x400m relay

Heat One
1) USA 2:59.95

5) Bahamas 3:08.29

Heat Two
1) Spain 3:02.39

5) Jamaica 3:05.09 (McDonald-James King-Gaye-Wilson)
6) Barbados 3:06.54

cool Guyana 3:10.01

Heat Three
1) Brazil 3:01.86
2) Trinidad 3:02.39 (Guevara-Richards-Lara-McKay) qualify for the Olympics

So, Jamaica have qualified for four Olympic relays, but not the men's mile relay. They will now have to wait and see if they make it as one of just two selected on the basis of world rankings. Looks grim!

Men's sprint relay final
1) USA 37.40

7) Jamaica 38.68

The USA won four finals, with the men's mile relay won by Botswana.

In reply to mikesiva

in recent years about 10 of our 400m men have shown either promise or a magnificent flash in the pan performance only to fall by the wayside. I am hoping that will not be the case with Antonio Watson.
Imagine that Javon 'Donkey-Man' Francis was 19 when he took the baton 15 metres behind passed 4 men and held off an experienced Russian to cop silver. Last yr 5 Yardies went under 45 and none to be seen now. Where are good relay and back up relay men such as Edino Steele?

Mike - no! They cannot "wait and see"; there are two teams (France(?) and Zambia) ahead of them for the two remaining men 4x400 spot. Jamaica will now have to find a meet between today and June 30th and run 2:59.12 to get in. Beyond that, it will mark the first time since we entered the Olympic Games in 1948 that Jamaica has failed to send a 4x400 team to the Olympic Games. Of course, there was that Federation team which included 3 Jamaicans and one Barbadian (Wedderburn).

Yes, the athletes/coaches decide if they want to compete at the World Relays or not, but this is very poor planning on the part of Garth Gayle and the JAAA. What an impending travesty!

You are sure about that? Maybe like the JAAA you should look around (especially beyond the locals) there are quality athletes around. JAAA have its head in the sand and if it's not MVP or Racers or to a lesser extent GC Foster, the JAAA doesn't look beyond them. If you didn't excel at Champs, they won't pay you much attention. You gats to be local.

RoyalDad 2024-05-08 23:49:55 

In reply to JoeGrine

Joe,I am as sure as ABC. Apart from Watson and Bailey..maybe Powell,Jamaica's drought in the 400 is abysmal.The kid who went to Camperdown is not a 400 runner per say. He is a flat-out hurdler.

No return here of a Danny Mc.even though disciplines are reversed. But like you say, I will scour the American countryside to find those non locals to try and put a 4-man roster together.

 
rudebway 2024-05-09 04:00:15 

In reply to JoeGrine

But if the 400 runners were good and not local,and could qualify to run for Jamaica, you would think the athlete themselves would put their hand up, and show up at Trials, since the USA 400 team is hard to qualify for. Similar to Andrew Hudson running the 200. He is not beating Lyles, Knightinton or Kenny Bednarek. But he can beat Rasheed Dwyer and Nigel Ellis.

Or are you looking at it more from a developmental and investment aspect?

 
JoeGrine 2024-05-09 05:11:10 

Gentlemen, I will excuse myself here. I prefer to talk about high school track and field.

 
hubert 2024-05-09 14:32:12 

What is happening is a travesty that lays at the feet of the JAAA.
The lack of 400m male runners has been on the radar for years.
There is absolutely no longevity among the promising as they fall away all too soon
like the rising and setting of the sun.
More proactive outreach and priority should have been generated by the JAAA by working hard with the coaches
and clubs to ensure improvement by providing whatever resources necessary to
keep the country's record spotless in the 4x400 .
No darn excuses from anyone.
Track and Field musty not be allowed to go the way of the country's cricket.
No Sir..The 4x400m is the Bedrock of our T&F tradition and history.
It must not be tarnished. NO

I just hope they let Brianna rest up for as long as she needs it. Her chronic hammie needs rest and the rigors of the college circuit is too brutal for her to weather. Hope she can make it to the JA Trials. Nickesha is doing very well. I love her hard work and execution in the 400.

 
Brerzerk 2024-05-13 06:26:01 

know season early but Antonio Watson looked really off the boil. Demish has less core than any avg athlete in any sport. Wonder if that was why the Cameraman zoomed in on his stomach. The guys have the talent but make us wonder if they're putting in the work. Gonzalez was good until injury, do guys think it is worth going over to Glen Mills? None of the 1/4 milers trained by 1/4milers Cameron and and the other guy seem to string together a series of good races in a season.

Yes,Brianna and that hammy looks suspect. The coach though seems to be playing it safe with her. Should not have run in the 200.

Miss Pryce is the real deal. Ja. finally have a solid 400 runner again who can make Bol and Mauriely from the DR take notice. Just need to get Charokee and Stacey back in form.

She joined Shelly's camp and Shelly is yet to open her season.

I am very concerned. Am not prepared to rely on SAFP either at this stage on the women's side of things.
She has achieved so much glory it would not be right to expect much more from her..
With the uncertainty of ETH recapturing her old form,that leaves Jackson as the only nona fide
reliant athlete to score an individual Gold at Paris on the track.
Things are not looking good. We do not seem ready to continue the legacy in a big way in two months time.

Sha'Carri beat Elaine into the ground, last place actually.

Sha'Carri Richardson wins Pre Classic in her first 100m of Olympic season

World champion Sha'Carri Richardson won the Prefontaine Classic in her first 100m of the Olympic year, setting her up for the Olympic Trials next month and the Paris Games later this summer.

Richardson prevailed in 10.83 seconds in Eugene, Oregon, beating a field that included the fourth- and fifth-place finishers from last August's world championships. Plus two-time reigning Olympic gold medalist Elaine Thompson-Herah of Jamaica, who was last in 11.30.

 
RoyalDad 2024-05-26 00:04:43 

Elaine's late season start may be of some concern. Could have been instructed to go with the motions.

Lets see where she progresses from here.

Shaq obviously was using earlier races to target this one. Good win.

Stacey Ann though has shown glimpses of her college form and may yet come through.Charokee..just dont know what happened. Candace ...fell off the track it seems. In Pryce we trust.

Olympic gold medal sprinter Elaine Thompson-Herah injured

NEW YORK -- Reigning 100-meter Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah from Jamaica had to be helped from the track after appearing to hurt an Achilles tendon in a race at the USATF New York City Grand Prix on Sunday.

Thompson-Herah burst out of the blocks at Icahn Stadium and was in the mix before starting to fade midway through the 100-meter race. The 31-year-old sprinter began limping near the finish line. She took off her right spike and later was carried away from the area around the track.

agree, Kevona looked heavy. But what i keep wondering is why/how has she not fixed her drive phase? Alfred was her beating stick at champs and as Royal Dad pointed out, Alfred has surpassed her. And Alfred consistently does 10.8 to
10.85. Now that she is done with college I think Kevona needs to return to Jamaica and get in a good camp.

Tia Clayton didnt look bad last night. Serena Cole needs to lose the weight. Brianna Willians still lacks speed endurance. She reminds me of Christiania Williams.

Thompson, who is coached by Stephen Francis at MVP Track and Field Club, sped to a world-leading time of 9.77 seconds to win the blue riband event.

The 22-year-old, who was running his 10th 100m race of his senior career, had clocked a personal best time of 9.84 in the semi-finals a few hours earlier. Oblique Seville of Racers Track Club finished second in a personal best-equalling time of 9.82. Ackeem Blake from Dynamic Track Club was third in 9.92.

Shericka Jackson of MVP successfully defended her national 100m title as she clocked a season’s best time of 10.84 to win the event. Her training partner Tia Clayton was second in 10.90 while the iconic Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce took third in 10.94.

So heartening to.see Yard helping other Caribbean nations to have their athletes qualify @ our meets.

Franno is extra Special as a coach ;top shelf too as a person who gets the best and respect from
his athletes. This young man Thompson is a revelation ,all due to Franno's expertise that
is able to deal with adversity,injuries, challenges etc in an artful manner.

Not many are so adept.

 
Brerzerk 2024-07-01 03:19:29 

Sports is a helluva thing. Who watched The Yard 100mH? 2yrs ago young Brittany Anderson set a blazing NR behind Amusan's WR
Since then she's been plagued by injuries and didn't qualify. Now there's a new NR holder.But also very interesting, Shacarri's ex has qualified. As I said then dem BADWUD was embarrassment for being outed. I admire her bravery for singing a Yardie_MVP sankey and finding her way home
Glad our people embraced her for what she is i.e. a damned good athlete willing to work hard and reply her nation.

Shericka wins women's 200m

Levell wins men's 200m

Nugent wins 100m hurdles

Bad news for the men's mile relay

In one of the closest finishes ever witnessed by Jamaican fans, Rasheed Broadbell was declared the winner with a time of 13.18 seconds, identical to Orlando Bennett, who finished in second place. Defending Olympic champion Hansle Parchment was narrowly edged out, finishing third in 13.19 seconds.

Thanks. Lots to be pleased about. Congrats to all who make the team and to Nugent on the National record.
The Men's 4x400 remains a huge disappointment and a lot of rethinking and action must be forthcoming to
avoid another such monumental error by all.,admin,coaches and athletes.

, Shacarri's ex has qualified.


She will be in Paris. Old fire stick easy fe ketch. On a serious note, i told my brethren before the final she was gonna grab 3rd. Happy for her in her comeback.

Bryan Levell really showed up. 19.97. Whatever Shanekie Osbourne is doing is working.

The 4x4 was an organizational debacle. Not even sure who ran on our Gold team 4x400 with all the withdrawals of Bailey, James King and Powell. the anchor just ran out of steam.

Blake is a good runner. Something missing. Maybe more body.

Blakey surprised us all. Big him up.Got better as year went on.

Pinnock and Gayle best of the pack ..considering.

Alfred just too good right now.Problem for years to come..even for fit Shericka.

Stacey Ann can improve.Consistent throughout year. Hope Charokee can follow...regain her college form.

Paulino!! Will be tougher next year.Pryce will have to come ready.

Goule always in the mix.

Wonder what happened to Nugent//??

Year close out good for many Caribbean athletes.

Looking forward to next year.Should be fireworks women/ men 100/200. So much more talent other than Kishane,Blake and Oblique..from a Jamaica standpoint.

Women 400 looking mouthwatering also with Pryce/Paulino.Maybe Ms Shaunae Bahamas can rebound.

Men's and women's 100H pretty solid also. Macho Quinn one to beat with Nugent on her tail.Dont discount Anderson..if she regains form.

Roshawn did well.Still very green>Needs a coach to work out his shortcomings.

Field athletes may have their best year yet.
