Pity! Maloney finished just outside the medals. If she'd got one, that would mean all the Windward Islands would've got a medal.

Tenks Levell Phew!

In reply to Chrissy

Yes. At least one of them moves on.
A bitter pill is that no women will be in the 200m semis
for the first time since the 70s and worse yet
no 4x100 relays ..they could improvise with hurdlers but it's best not to
cause any embarrassment.
The field events Athletes are carrying the flame this time around.

The women have been outstanding over past couple decades
and will continue to do so after unfortunate circumstances in 2024.

In reply to camos

So succinct as usual LMAO

It pleases me to seem Jereem Richards' 400m time.
He's a hard worker. Seems wise to have dropped the
200m and focus on just one event. Hoping Peters
upstages the South Asian stars this time.
Maan Kishorn is durable! Thought the guy was done.

In reply to camos

I mentioned to you very early they should have carried kemba Nelson. You said maybe the list didn’t include the reserves. No, they didn’t carry her. Now they had to send for her.


We will run the relays . I see kemba to Alania Reid to Sasha Lee Forbes to Tia Clayton.

In reply to hubert

We will send out a 4x1. It won’t be a gold medal threat but we will cobble one together. I don’t trust Sasha Lee Forbes. She is going to get smoked but I still see them putting her on the relay

In reply to Brerzerk

Jereeem Richards made it to the 400 final so that is good

Ah woulda laff if miraculously the 3 vets come back together next year for one last hurrah an bruk di WR yuh si!
What a crowning moment to their legacy that would be. Shelly, Simpson, Keron and Ver had a chance to do it
but messed up the baton change.

In reply to Brerzerk

The Brianna Elaine Shelly Sherika team could have also broken it but Elaine went out too fast and Brianna could barely catch her to hand off. Elaine was on another level of speed and with Sherika anchoring that was a glorious chance

In reply to hubert

Nice effort from Jerome Powell out of lane 8. 44.91. No Jamaicans in the 400 finals

In reply to rudebway

richards is so underrated eh

That men’s 1500 was epic.
Glad that Ingebrigtsen got it handed to him.

In reply to camos

Zimbabwe: 7 athletes, 67 officials

LOL.

Yu tink we people easy?

In reply to Chrissy

Nice run by Alfred for the silver. But Gabby was supreme. Only a fit Sherika can manage her at 200

In reply to JahJah

Nice race dat Julien - nice medals girrrl
