Paris Olympics 2024

No love for Dominican Republic's Paulino?

She's from right up the road, so I think we should 'adopt' her.

WANYONI is 20 and dipped better in thev800m than Kishane did in the 100.Anyway, it was the start that cost Kishane more; same thing cost Amusan a 100mh final spot

In reply to Chrissy

I am lost for words...no I have words but I will NOT use them.
This has been a disaster for the Track campaign ..there were a few lights and Thompson's
Silver in the 100M ,shoulda Gold...is one of two medals of 6 on the overall campaign..

A reset needs to be done starting with the 'eat a food' posse.
A lot will be heard in coming days...But 2028 Los Angeles is only
4 years away..so the Track and Field Fraternity better get moving
and redress matters.

I keep reading about the “eat a food posse”

Is this the same posse that was around when Bolt, SAFP, ET, Blake, Powell, Sherica etc were bringing untold glory to di yard?

Or a different setta peeps?

In reply to imusic

Yuh could guarantee JA going to do something about this campaign. Although I woulda take the gold plus six other medals for TTO, but I know their standards in track are much higher. I hope GORTT has a sit down with proper athletics people(not the NAAAs) even if they’re foreigners and see why our athletes can’t bridge the gap between CARIFTAS and senior competition

Is Steph Curry human? Wow, every timevFrancevthinks they have a sniff; 4 pointer.

In reply to imusic

Yard will bounce back somewhat in next yr World Champs. But this arrogant JAAA and JOA admin needs revamping.

In reply to Brerzerk

There's no revamping when the incumbents have the capacity to influence votes.

In reply to Brerzerk

I have no doubt whatsoever that Yard will bounce back from what was FOR THEM, a disastrous Olympics.

I just felt it was more a combination of injuries and sheer bad luck, rather than poor administration, accounted for their showing in Paris 2024

In reply to Brerzerk

USA lucky Curry fired at the right time. This is the second game they were roughed up. It won't be too long before one of the European teams win gold.

In reply to imusic

Could be the same set of peeps who are now eating the results of what the aforementioned athletes planted.

In reply to googley

"lucky"? There's no luck in sport, there is eventuality.
