In reply to rudebway

Jeeezas Chris' Scott! Sorry

In reply to Brerzerk

Pichardo just did 17.91. He was soaring

Courageous Shericka, you can come back to "mannas" her hopefully

In reply to Brerzerk

Good bronze. She is still getting over injuries so happy she medaled. She was a warrior from her days at Vere at champs so that is expected

In reply to rudebway

On to the relays now, good running, baton/zone technique and right mindset can turn into something special...fingers crossed.

In reply to Chrissy

melissa jefferson coach is not dennis mitchell? no wonder gabby thomas was incensed

In reply to Jumpstart
What?
She is I. Some serious form - double dat

In reply to Chrissy


yes....dennis mitchell of justin gatlin fame, himself caught doping and being subpoenaed to appear before the BALCO trials, also implicated in an undercover investigation where he offered to supply an actor with steroids. he's also sha'carri and kenny bednarek's coach

In reply to Jumpstart

I wanna "kip quiat" on dat. Let's see down the road Re- McLaughlin even though she too has a "fishy" coach I think her's is extra-special talent plus hard work

In reply to Brerzerk

tellin yuh. which is why when people in tt yap about the athletes not getting medals, i always say there is a definite possibility and i believe probability that they are racing/throwing/jumping against a chemical barrier. is not by chance Jamaica, a sprinting factory, didn't get any gold medals between 1984 and 1992 at the olympics.........who wasn't doping wasn't winning. my reservations about sydney are based on the fact that another record breaking quarter mile hurdler, Karsten Warholm, tried the 400m and didn't do well at all. and he runs the 400mh like a 400m flat runner. sydney just started seriously running the 400m in the last 1.5 years, and barely races to boot, and bam, came .18 seconds close to a record by an east german in the 1980s, when the Statsi was even giving PEDs to children they thought had athletic promise. not saying she's not clean....but i have my doubts
