World Champs start Saturday

Allyuh ready

In reply to Chrissy

Yes, worried Shelly will have an anticlimactic bow out. Hopefully the relay teams can pull a rabbit out of the hat for her. Shericka is both race rusty and out of Form. Defending Champ Antonio might not reach the 400m semis. Let's hope we'll finally see Seville at full are near full potential. The short sprint men including Levell should, should hold their own.

In reply to Brerzerk
Not worried about her. Changing of the guard. Any medal from her is gravy. She gave us meat for years.

Starts tonight given time difference.

Alfred looking real good. Go Tina.

How I feel about Kirani James too.

Grenada doesn't have guard to change ...but he has been the sole carrier of hopes and dreams of Grenadian track and field forever.

Making the final would be a win for me at this stage.

In reply to FanAttick

Kishane sent a message. Hopefully, Oblique is doing the opposite of what he usually does. great in the rounds, then F up the finals.

on the women's side it is Melissa Jefferson vs Alfred. Father time has caught up with Shelly, and Sherika is not at peak form due to injuries. Cheering foe Tina to do well.


on a completely different note... i know you are a manchester man, so you will appreciate this. i was in Jamaica this week. At Golfview hotel, as I am from Cobbla. Trying to drive out of the hotel. A bag of police cars and excitement and activity going into Mandeville hospital. later learned it was from the "Brown Man" shoot out

In reply to FanAttick

Forgot I am traveling fo next few days, catching up now Saffie good but inexperienced. Hos fast time almost cost Seville a semi spot

In reply to Brerzerk

the internet says that Levell doesnt want to practice with the relay team therefore he will not be on the 4 x 1. looks like someone really wants Kadrian Goldson on the team. Goldson should not run ahead of Watson or Forde, but i would not be surprised to see him. with no Levell i am thinking Ackeem to Oblique to Watson to Kishane. i dont think they like Ryiem Forde.

In reply to Brerzerk

Lyles alleges that Oblique was a nervous wreck in the holding room..not a good sign

In reply to Cheeks


Agree re Kirani James - a great athlete
