The absence of all three Jamaican women at the Paris Olympics was probably one of the biggest shockers for me. All three women were some of the heavy favourites to medal or win in Paris, but didn't even get the opportunity to compete properly because of injuries. I believe right now this is a rebuilding period for Jamaican sprinting on both the men's and women's side. The Americans are heavily in the mix with many medalists and champions. The Africans are coming up and developing very well. Even some of the Europeans are stepping up recently. World Relays in 2025 will once again determine the top teams to represent the relay rounds at World Championships in Tokyo. I'll be interested to see if any of these Jamaican women will be a part of this and if Jamaica can put on a better performance across the 5 relay events.
I think their coaches need to be more careful with the athletes so they don't get injured. Obviously they must have pushed too hard and this is the unfortunate result.
Couldn’t agree more with your comment, when she is on, watch out, supreme athlete! You mentioned her story is amazing, I’m a fan for sure is there anything extra over the standard that you can share?
@@DidiPortshe wasn’t one of those athletes who was immediately recognised as a great sprinter. She was kinda overlooked for a long time. Unlike the majority of Jamaican sprinters she came from a very small community and was doubted by everyone even once she started gaining momentum in partial because of Shelly’s dominance at the point Elaine was coming up. Then while being professional at the highest level she’s had to go through constant injuries and most years where they’ve happened there’s been questions about whether she’ll ever be as good again. Specifically in 2017 I’m thinking the year after she doubled in Rio she had a really bad injury and subsequent times for a few years were a lot lower and everyone thought she peaked only for her to come back in 2020 and especially 2021 to put on most likely the greatest female sprinting season of all time and legitimately breaking the 100m record (which legally was 10.62) twice with a 10.61 Olympic record and a ridiculous 10.54. She of course is the most successful female sprinter at the Olympics of all time and the second greatest in my opinion all around only after Shelly because of her dominance at worlds.
Where's the money coming from? The Olympics is possibly about to lose Toyota as a sponsor. There aren't a lot of major global corporations who want to step up and sponsor sport where the main league no longer has a network TV contract in the US. In fact, a major global corporation is responsible for not renewing said TV contract.
@@jollymolly2521 I think they should set up a live stream platform and make it available either for free but with ads, or ad-free with a paid subscription every month like here on RUclips. I think that could work well and hopefully bring more money into the sport
I don’t know; I mean Shelly Ann barely made the Jamaican team with a 10.94 at nationals. Think she ran a comfortable 10.9x in the first Olympic heat also. So she may have had a bit extra in the legs. Maybe she would have gotten bronze - maybe. I say maybe because her semifinal race included Shelly Ann, Sha’Carri and Julien. Which meant that one of them was not advancing to the final. More than likely Shelly Ann would not advance. More than feasible that during her warmup she recognized she could not run full speed and decided to scratch. I mean think about it. You’re the great Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce; do you really want to be remembered as not making it past the semifinal? Better to scratch and honestly I don’t blame her. Which would also explain the coyness regarding why she scratched. Julien ran a 10.72 on a wet track into a slight headwind. So in ideal conditions that would be somewhere between 10.67 to 10.70. Shericka ran 10.84 at nationals. It’s very likely that Julien would have still won gold and Sha’Carri and Shericka would have fought it out for silver and bronze.
@@DevLife717I beg to differ honestly Shelly and talou were literally cruising in the last 20 m in their heats race,talou got injured in warm up few minutes to the semis and Shelly might have twitched something both of them are over 35 at that age the injuries take a toll
@@gershompeter3273 Not sure I follow your counter argument as it seems like you actually confirm my points but nothing I saw this year from Shelly or TaLou would lead me to believe they would’ve beat Julien in the final. Again go watch the Jamaica nationals and you will see that Shelly barely made the team on time with 10.94. It was obvious that her injury was still bothering her. TaLou has been running in the low 11s all year. Maybe she would’ve been in contention for silver or bronze but just can’t see it for gold.
Just an unfortunate trail of events for all these ladies. However what we are really seeing is a changing of the guards. I don't believe it is the end of the road for all these ladies but a new generation of Jamaican ladies are waiting in the wings. Tia and Tina Clayton along with Brianna Lyston are just a few who are set to eventually take their place.
You're the GOAT of athletics commenting and analysis. In as much as i watched the olympics live, i still looked forward to your in-depth analysis of all track events. 😂😂 I like the way you emphasise Jackson's disappointment by posting her facial expression after failing to break the 200m world record.😂😂 Awesome work ❤
For Elaine to go from not qualifying to the WC in 2023 to 10.79, 0.25 shy off the world record with weeks away from the track when she wasn’t able to train speaks a lot about what she got in her. I wish she could stay injury free for ONE single season to finally unleash her full potential 🇯🇲
Sprinting is so hard on the body, I'm not surprised. I'm sure (without looking at any data) that injuries like this happen more often in Oly years due to increase intensity of training. Always better to shut it down and preserve than roll the dice when you're not 100%. They are the greats of women's sprinting. I'm hoping to see more of them in the future.
SAFP has stated she will be competing again next year she hasnt retired yet, i for one am looking forward to seeing the pocket rocket tear up the track again and id luv to see her go out on a high point
@@judsdragonshe will probably run 10.8 next year but remember she keeps getting injured next year she will be older which injuries can resurface remember she been getting injured since 2023 so good luck to that
They are sublime athletes and great champions. Hoping that all three return fully fit in 2025. We’re blessed to enjoy seeing these ladies perform at such an amazing level. It takes a huge amount of sacrifice and dedication to reach the top and staying there is even more difficult. The 100 and 200 are so competitive. Wishing them the best
I so fuqqin’ love my girl Elaine…so happy she at least showed what she was made of in 2021. I am praying we get at least one final hot double performance from she before she retires, and I also hope Shelly has a proper salute. I feel Jacko has a little more time left; I totally did not expect her to do well this year because of all the insane improvements four straight years…her body definitely needed some R&R. But, I’m just noticing Jacko’s knee was taped in that 200M race this year…what’s that about? Either way, although American and wanting my girls, especially ShaCarri to thrive, I cannot write off my Jamaican girls! Also, funny, Paris seems totally weird to me, as well…I’m totally over the Paris Olympics due to my disappointment with several favorites, and the odd outcomes of many. I’m very happy for those who have thrived, especially those who have made history for their nations, like JuJu and Tebogo, but this has been my least enjoyable Olympics, honestly.
The situation I find most puzzling is the travesty of Fraser-Price and Richardson not being allowed entry into the stadium. It's possible to realize in warm-up that you have a problem, a pre-existing tightness, etc., but if your pre-race preparation is rushed you may not have time for a needed massage or proper taping. Going all out in those conditions could be risky. Shelly Anne will be back next year. An Achilles injury is difficult; you have to allow it to heal fully. Thompson- Herah will be back. I don't know much about Jackson, but I would expect her also to be back next year.
I am and ancient 100 meter Runner from Haïti and a champion never lost performance in the years 1966 till 1972 never suffer any physical injuries .I am also a admirer of the track and field Jamaican Team ,my recommendation and suggestion is training in three feet deep pool water 3.28 feet. Or 1 meter water deep in a pool.50 meters distance forward and backwards also occasionally with ankle tights arms and waist belt 1to 3 kilos weights or weightless the water counter force acts as weights and prevent injuries to the muscles and and sprain to ligaments .Also the body balance and movements are Harmonize due the water resistance plus it refreshes everything .I respect the Jamaïcan.Track and Field and since I am supporting 71 candles want participate in their COMME BACK KEEP ON KEEPING ONFOR THE FUTURE PF THIS SPORT WE LOVE God willing.Keep me posted and aStay on the Golden winning side we feel Proud in Ayïti about Jamaïcan sthleilists Go Jamaïca Go.(both countries has Ï yes)
Shelly-Ann said that she will extend her career 1 more year due to how this season ended for her. Hopefully Elaine can get back to the fitness she once had and recapture the lightning on the same track she struck 3 years ago. If Shericka can recover fully, I am confident she can break the WR next year.
Jamaica must have a problem with coaches. Too many athletes getting injured. They need to coordinate their efforts better and consult with sports medicine specialists to avoid injuring their athletes so much.
Shelky changed coach a couole years back she developed knee issues did a procedure late to addrress this, thing just didnt come together quickly then the delay at the gate, long walk around to next entrance, all that was a lot considering she was not in prime condition. Shericka started her season late, was very overweight, rumours had it she had a early season injury, Her coach hot someone to helo in getting her weight down, got that right, started to improve times, unfortunately she got injured hamstring again. Maybe having to pack so much effort to catch up didnt workout , who know?? Elaine dont have a coaching team now that can manage her type of injury while training. It is what it is but jamaica will be back, shericka will be ok, shelly will be there plus 2 others for the 100m. Dont lose any sleep about it, the sprint factory is fully functioning and even though the upcoming ladies are young shericka is still there, and the young ladies are not to be under estimated. World champs is just next season.
Plus Shericka came under pressure trying to live up to the expectation of the world pushing her to break the world record. Elaine became lightheaded being pushed to break that 10.49 and she stepped out of line making stupid decisions with her coaching. Psychology set in and the rest was history.
It was the first ticket we secured and targeted in the ballot 15 months out for the race of the century. It was a great night but Femke was the highlight of the night not the 100m..... Such is life. Still an amazing experience, we went to the mens 100 as well, which i thought would be less of an event and it was more of a spectacle. Mondo left all of it behind the night after the sprints.
Thompsson seems to have had her Achilles problem for a long time but also problems privately, mentally and with the coach... That it can even happen? Shericka you mention is on track to beat Alfred in the 200m .. Shelly Anne comes to the start in the Olympics and runs a brilliant race but then drops out? All these times and performances there were opportunities to test these girls. Therefore, we can rule out doping. Regarding Elaine, it seems backwards that Shericka and Shelly Anne kept Elaine out a bit?? Elaine is the one who has double gold two Olympics in a row, which the other two do not have. I think a mutual rivalry and jealousy has arisen. The strange thing to me is that Shelly Anne is so old she can still perform the times she does. Almost unlikely.
Fun fact. In Bodybuilding one reaches their peak in their upper 30’s and even into their 40’s . They die younger due to drugs, (steroids, growth hormones), dehydration, and create extreme injuries using weights that cripple them. Example Ronnie Coleman. On the other hand most track and field athletes can be very young and still perform at levels never thought could be. Examples, at Junior levels, McLaughlin Levrone hurdles, Quincy Wilson, 400 m junior 18-year-old record world record, Knighten 200 m junior record(Bolts old record), DuPlantis Pole Vault Jr n Sr world records, Jr records, Jacob Ingebrigtsen mile, 1500, world record 3000 meters, so on and so forth. The main reason athletes spiral downward is injuries. The other factor is they work themselves to the ground. College athletes burn out due to their obligation to run hard all season during an Olympic year. Those that work out wisely sustain longer careers. We have training backwards in the USA. Usain Bolt, Armand DuPlantis, Justin Gaitlin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and many others. The reason Cole Hocker won Gold in the 1500 in Paris is because he peaked at the right time. He no longer ran himself ragged all year and it proved my point. Of course Jacob is taller and can run more fluid than most but that’s an advantage most taller runners have. Example 6 foot 5 inches Usain Bolt vs the rest of the sprinters.
It’s because they’re doing more drug testing in Jamaica now before their was no testing their that way bolt times started to get slower and he retired.
So....is the 100M completely broken or is there potential issues with the Jamaican sprinting program? I mean, as dominant as Jamaica sprinting has been over the last decade, it isn't all of the 100M.
I have to say this-don't hate on me-but I find it suspicious that ALL of Jamaca's female sprinters had to pull out. It makes me wonder what the Jamaican Olympic team knew/knows that we do not, such as positive tests of some kind.
Elaine hasnt run any good races since the previous olympics , im jamaican i didnt even expect her to qualify, but you think she had doping concerns, wow. Shelly pulled up at last year world champs in the relays did not heal prooerly had to do a medical procedure before jamaicas trials and barely got fit enough to qualify, plus all that rubbish at the olympics and she not being able to run and withdrew from the event and you believe she had doping concerns so why did she even go to the olympics in the first place to be caught??, now isnt that a stretch. The present day jamaican top sprinter shericka, she had an early season injury, tuened up fat as a pig had to lose a lot of weight fast while trying to get her fitness up to required standards real quick and then she pulled up at a diamond league with the world watching, still went to the olympics hoping to be able to run. Once your at the olynpics any athlete can be tested at any time, so she goes there with doping concerns knowing this can happen, are you serious. All top athletes once they are at the games they get tested. Stop being ridiculous.
Its called being injured.Shelly has been nursing a knee injury from last year which is why she didnt run many pre Olympic races.Elaine has always been injury prone and struggled with a persistent achilles injury for years and has not qualified for two global championships since she left her coach Stephen Francis and Shericka sustained a serious injury in Hungary when she pulled up in a race weeks before the Olympics.Its only strange to people like you who do not take the time to research the history of athletes.
I do not care to watch the Cat Women unless I can also watch Bat Women. I am not saying who is who. But the US without Jamaica and Holland is not worth the watch. I need drama. God bless Jamaica ❤❤❤
If everyone was healthy elaine wouldn't have achieved that tripple double,to do that she needed to beat shericka in the 200 ,a woman who runs sub 21.7 in a semi while shutting down
I think their age is the biggest factor. Elaine is 32, Shericka is 30, and Shelly Ann is 36. Most sprinters peak in their mid 20's. 23 yr old Julien Alfred is the one to watch now. Gabby Thomas will soon be 28 yrs old so her time at the top is nearing its end.
Their respective coaches/camps have been keeping their injuries hidden & no one can figure out why. The secrecy can't help them in any way. Even during the Olympics Steve Francis stated that Sharicka is fit after she pulled out of the 100.
Still waiting for how the 100m is complety broken. Even broken I'd be happy with. Instead I got a whinge that Jamaica won no medals. Here's a tissue. So the 100m is completely broken because none of these Jamaicans raced? Gimme a complete break. 🙄
How do you say the Jamaican lady broke Florence Griffith's Olympic Record when Griffith set a faster actual world record that is still faster than the Jamaican. Florence J Griffin who has all the records os still the GOAT because she ran faster.
I'm being a bit of a conspiracy theorist here. But do you think it could be linked to doping? It would be terrible for the sport if it was exposed that they had all been doping, so maybe they were told it wouldn't be made public, but they cannot compete?
I’m getting tired of this bullshit, this had nothing to do specifically with the 100m being broken. If you wanna talk about something just say it’s that, wth?!!
Thompson - Jackson - Price. All three Jam champions were not in the Paris Olympics. Good & I do not care because France was showing themselves to be unfit. Now The 3 Jams Can Truly Move On.
I believe the game is rigged. A lot of money was being bet on the big 3. Lol. Nike rigged the game for Sha'Carri, only for her to come second in the 100m, and Nike rigged it for Gabby in the 200m. It can't be a coincidence that all three pulled out, especially with similar injuries. The chances of someone winning the lottery are greater than all three pulling out. It's odd as heck. 🤦♂️
Usain Bolt and the Jamaicans🇯🇲 dominated the sprints for 8 years and fell off after the drug testing got tougher. There're some who believe Jamaicans have some type of dominant sprint gene or something that helps them to run faster than others. But those of us who follow the sport closely know that the majority of CONFIRMED drug cheats have been Jamaican: Steve Mullings, Nesta Carter, Veronica Campbell-Brown, Marvin Anderson, Patrick Jerrett, Merlene Ottey, Allodin Fothergill, Sharone Simpson, Asafa Powell, Raymond Stewart, Donovan Powell, Yohan Blake, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Sherri-Ann Brooks, Lanceford Spence, Julien Dunkley etc.
this comes to mine shelly ann started running some of best times in 2022 a lot times under 10.7 all of a sudden she couldn't beat Elaine Thompson so very suspicious things took place!!
Just the opposite, it was harder to dope in the US, in Africa you are free to dope, and for the most part the Carribean. Sydney stayed away from competing in order to dope longer.
The absence of all three Jamaican women at the Paris Olympics was probably one of the biggest shockers for me. All three women were some of the heavy favourites to medal or win in Paris, but didn't even get the opportunity to compete properly because of injuries.
I believe right now this is a rebuilding period for Jamaican sprinting on both the men's and women's side. The Americans are heavily in the mix with many medalists and champions. The Africans are coming up and developing very well. Even some of the Europeans are stepping up recently.

I want her go for the Olympics
I'm starting to think there may never be a sprinter like Usain Bolt ever again
Been faster sprinters, Armin Hari had to run on gravel without dope, even Jesse Owens and many others had to do the same.
There'll be as we still have perhaps a million years' time. 😂😂😂😂
Nesta doping really phuqued Bolt over
lovely analysis as always
Jamaican women sprinters had a good run being injury free and it caught up with then all at once just bad luck this season
Oh dear, Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shericka Jackson. What just happened?
Achilles injury ... never healed for me (a soccer player) for many years.
The achilles tendon torn during a game & ended my playing days. 😥
Man, I hear you, but where is Christine Mboma!?
Jamaica must have a problem with coaches. Too many athletes getting injured. They need to coordinate their efforts better and consult with sports medicine specialists to avoid injuring their athletes so much.
Finally someone answered the question I was wondering.

Still an amazing experience, we went to the mens 100 as well, which i thought would be less of an event and it was more of a spectacle. Mondo left all of it behind the night after the sprints.
Heartbreaking
Thompsson seems to have had her Achilles problem for a long time but also problems privately, mentally and with the coach... That it can even happen? Shericka you mention is on track to beat Alfred in the 200m .. Shelly Anne comes to the start in the Olympics and runs a brilliant race but then drops out? All these times and performances there were opportunities to test these girls. Therefore, we can rule out doping. Regarding Elaine, it seems backwards that Shericka and Shelly Anne kept Elaine out a bit?? Elaine is the one who has double gold two Olympics in a row, which the other two do not have. I think a mutual rivalry and jealousy has arisen. The strange thing to me is that Shelly Anne is so old she can still perform the times she does. Almost unlikely.
injury and illness prevention/management are part of the sport.
Yall talking about everybody but Julien Alfred. 🥇🥈🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
Fun fact. In Bodybuilding one reaches their peak in their upper 30’s and even into their 40’s . They die younger due to drugs, (steroids, growth hormones), dehydration, and create extreme injuries using weights that cripple them. Example Ronnie Coleman.
On the other hand most track and field athletes can be very young and still perform at levels never thought could be.
Examples, at Junior levels, McLaughlin Levrone hurdles, Quincy Wilson, 400 m junior 18-year-old record world record, Knighten 200 m junior record(Bolts old record), DuPlantis Pole Vault Jr n Sr world records, Jr records, Jacob Ingebrigtsen mile, 1500, world record 3000 meters, so on and so forth.
The main reason athletes spiral downward is injuries.
The other factor is they work themselves to the ground.
College athletes burn out due to their obligation to run hard all season during an Olympic year. Those that work out wisely sustain longer careers.
We have training backwards in the USA. Usain Bolt, Armand DuPlantis, Justin Gaitlin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and many others.
The reason Cole Hocker won Gold in the 1500 in Paris is because he peaked at the right time. He no longer ran himself ragged all year and it proved my point.
Of course Jacob is taller and can run more fluid than most but that’s an advantage most taller runners have. Example 6 foot 5 inches Usain Bolt vs the rest of the sprinters.
You need a 'dose' of reality.
It’s because they’re doing more drug testing in Jamaica now before their was no testing their that way bolt times started to get slower and he retired.
7:09 are we just gonna ignore the fact that someone is named "battle" 😂
Didn’t mo Farrah do the double double in 12 and 16?
Conspiracy or not, there's more to the Jamaican star athletes missing out on the Olympics than meets the eye. Stranger than fiction.
So....is the 100M completely broken or is there potential issues with the Jamaican sprinting program? I mean, as dominant as Jamaica sprinting has been over the last decade, it isn't all of the 100M.
So did Carl Lewis
I have to say this-don't hate on me-but I find it suspicious that ALL of Jamaca's female sprinters had to pull out. It makes me wonder what the Jamaican Olympic team knew/knows that we do not, such as positive tests of some kind.
Yes, it does seem strange.
Shelly anne actually did do a heat.then she couldn't get in. What weird is how shacarri got in but safp didnt
@@ra-neter6662 They were both let in later.
Elaine hasnt run any good races since the previous olympics , im jamaican i didnt even expect her to qualify, but you think she had doping concerns, wow.
Shelly pulled up at last year world champs in the relays did not heal prooerly had to do a medical procedure before jamaicas trials and barely got fit enough to qualify, plus all that rubbish at the olympics and she not being able to run and withdrew from the event and you believe she had doping concerns so why did she even go to the olympics in the first place to be caught??, now isnt that a stretch.
The present day jamaican top sprinter shericka, she had an early season injury, tuened up fat as a pig had to lose a lot of weight fast while trying to get her fitness up to required standards real quick and then she pulled up at a diamond league with the world watching, still went to the olympics hoping to be able to run. Once your at the olynpics any athlete can be tested at any time, so she goes there with doping concerns knowing this can happen, are you serious. All top athletes once they are at the games they get tested. Stop being ridiculous.
Its called being injured.Shelly has been nursing a knee injury from last year which is why she didnt run many pre Olympic races.Elaine has always been injury prone and struggled with a persistent achilles injury for years and has not qualified for two global championships since she left her coach Stephen Francis and Shericka sustained a serious injury in Hungary when she pulled up in a race weeks before the Olympics.Its only strange to people like you who do not take the time to research the history of athletes.
A tragedy to watch Whereabouts Gabby stroll to victory with Shericka out injured.
Same reaction as Rick Carey in 1984 Olympics won gold and missed WR
40 kph !!!
Worrying ayye
All roads lead back to one man, who believed his own hype..!! 🤔🙄😒
They off the juice.
And I see you are still on the hate and jealousy

I do not care to watch the Cat Women unless I can also watch Bat Women.
I am not saying who is who. But the US without Jamaica and Holland is not worth the watch.
I need drama. God bless Jamaica ❤❤❤
These injuries basically always come back.
Otherworldly. Interesting word choice but it may cost you financially in the end. Lawyer up.
Not for I remember watching that and seeing sharika's face and I was like.D*** yo, she's a beast
If everyone was healthy elaine wouldn't have achieved that tripple double,to do that she needed to beat shericka in the 200 ,a woman who runs sub 21.7 in a semi while shutting down
And real Equality for Womn's sport please
I was extremely disappointed that none of these 3 power ladies could compete in Paris Olympics.
Let's gooooo
more like triple treble...including 4x100m
It's sad. But people forget these athletes push themselves to the limit. There always a hair breath from injury. Usain is really a fairy tale
Tesla

WADA came a calling
It's the Pumas
I think their age is the biggest factor. Elaine is 32, Shericka is 30, and Shelly Ann is 36. Most sprinters peak in their mid 20's. 23 yr old Julien Alfred is the one to watch now. Gabby Thomas will soon be 28 yrs old so her time at the top is nearing its end.
Clearly age isn't the biggest factor since they ran their fastest times in their near to mid 30s
Elaine ran her PB when she's almost 30
Shelly did it when she was 33
You need to go look at the stats lol some PBs have came in the 30s
Shelly will be 38 in 3 months you are incorrect and Elaine is 31
@@onenation4164Shelly was 35
Sydney mclaughlin enters the chat after next Olympics
Trible trible
Their respective coaches/camps have been keeping their injuries hidden & no one can figure out why. The secrecy can't help them in any way. Even during the Olympics Steve Francis stated that Sharicka is fit after she pulled out of the 100.
Still waiting for how the 100m is complety broken. Even broken I'd be happy with. Instead I got a whinge that Jamaica won no medals. Here's a tissue. So the 100m is completely broken because none of these Jamaicans raced? Gimme a complete break. 🙄
How do you say the Jamaican lady broke Florence Griffith's Olympic Record when Griffith set a faster actual world record that is still faster than the Jamaican. Florence J Griffin who has all the records os still the GOAT because she ran faster.
The real women’s 100m record.
Elaine's 10.54
I'm being a bit of a conspiracy theorist here. But do you think it could be linked to doping? It would be terrible for the sport if it was exposed that they had all been doping, so maybe they were told it wouldn't be made public, but they cannot compete?
Jamaica = performance enhancement
Please go get a life hater.
Go read the WADA press release from March 2024 and draw your own conclusions…I did.
Best I can tell, there are 17 WADA press releases in the month of March 2024. Can you be more specific?
What?? What is happening
Shelly did run the heat remember
That's what ped's protocols do. They find the perfect method to be undetected until they are caught up and need to stop and performances suddenly drop
When you come off PED’s, injuries happen.
Who are u referring to ?
@@devertonpasley4942 All of them
They're just getting old.
Tell that to Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce
@@jaleelbrown9429 Tell her what? That her "old" body can no longer cope with the demands being made on it?
I’m getting tired of this bullshit, this had nothing to do specifically with the 100m being broken. If you wanna talk about something just say it’s that, wth?!!
Interesting video, but what a rubbish title! Why do you do that??
Thompson - Jackson - Price. All three Jam champions were not in the Paris Olympics. Good & I do not care because France was showing themselves to be unfit. Now The 3 Jams Can Truly Move On.
I believe the game is rigged. A lot of money was being bet on the big 3. Lol. Nike rigged the game for Sha'Carri, only for her to come second in the 100m, and Nike rigged it for Gabby in the 200m. It can't be a coincidence that all three pulled out, especially with similar injuries. The chances of someone winning the lottery are greater than all three pulling out. It's odd as heck. 🤦♂️
How could Nike rig it for Gabby when Gabby is a New Balance athlete?
Just boggles the mind that so many people think this is about talent, it's all about doping.
Use your common sense.
Why have you never acknowledged the Paralympics?
When are we going to drop flo Jo's 100m wr???
Something fishy going on🐠🐠🐠
Usain Bolt and the Jamaicans🇯🇲 dominated the sprints for 8 years and fell off after the drug testing got tougher.
There're some who believe Jamaicans have some type of dominant sprint gene or something that helps them to run faster than others. But those of us who follow the sport closely know that the majority of CONFIRMED drug cheats have been Jamaican: Steve Mullings, Nesta Carter, Veronica Campbell-Brown, Marvin Anderson, Patrick Jerrett, Merlene Ottey, Allodin Fothergill, Sharone Simpson, Asafa Powell, Raymond Stewart, Donovan Powell, Yohan Blake, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Sherri-Ann Brooks, Lanceford Spence, Julien Dunkley etc.
Guh suck yuh madda. Talk bout yuh country
Those are the dummies that got caught.
this comes to mine shelly ann started running some of best times in 2022 a lot times under 10.7 all of a sudden she couldn't beat Elaine Thompson so very suspicious things took place!!
Spoiler: The World Record Holder in the 100 meters is and has always been Florence Griffith Joyner.
Her record will fall.
Why was Rio so slow? Bolt wouldn't even have won in the last 2 Olympics with those times.
That long blond hair doesn’t look very aerodynamic:/
Who here believes all the Jamaican sprinters are completely PED clean?
Me
Do you believe all the American sprinters are completely PED clean?
You an asshole
I can’t believe any group from any country is completely clean anymore. Any great winner is automatically suspect, unfortunately.
@@henrigeorge9311I believe no one is ped clean
She was juicing just like FloJo. Stop the madness
Yeah, yeah... The games were set up for the american to win, but instead, another caribbean woman grabbed the spotlight!
Just the opposite, it was harder to dope in the US, in Africa you are free to dope, and for the most part the Carribean.
Sydney stayed away from competing in order to dope longer.
