For an athlete there comes a time when ‘is the fastest’ becomes ‘was the fastest.’ It takes courage to know when to walk away but it is painful to give up on what you love. I pray for a full recovery for this young lady and for her future career.
Wish I could be as optimistic as you are. I am hoping for the best, but preparing for the worse. The Jamaican team is plagued with injuries and uncertainty affecting many of the top athletes. For example, we have not seen Shelly or Kishane Thompson, Antonio Watson and Brianna Lyston are injured while others seem below par. Things are not looking so good for team Jamaica at this moment, but in God we trust 🙏
You've said well... Team Jamaica is obviously prepared for the Paris O. And it seems obvious that the Paris Olympics women's sprints will now below to either an American or an African... Time for the old ones to RETIRE and give the baton to the young ones... I would say: for these old ones like Ellaine Thompson-Hera and Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce, : RETIRE NOW... Or face the ignominy of defeat in the Paris Olympics...
Do any of you non athletic couch potatoes have a clue on how long it takes a injury to heal, hmm. A sprinter can hurt their arms, shoulders, fingers etc but not their lower extremities. Injuring your leg or worse your achilles is like your body retiring before you want to, thats the ETH you are looking at. She had way too much unsolved personal issues wo enough support, then switching coaches didnt help and theres only so much wear and tear your body will accept mentally and physically.. She has a wonderful career that many are stil trying to accomplish a quarter of. Whether or not she makes a miracle comeback or not shes left the second highest bar for women sprinters to follow, challenge or surpass.
@@emotionalintelligence776 there you go making assumptions. I ran track and so did my daughter. My opinion is just that MINE! That woman is 1 of the greatest runners on the books. Which is why that dead last had to affect her mentally in a brutal way. Guess what she doesn’t need, you to cape for her🤣🤣. Her accomplishments speak for themselves. Now go away little name caller.👋👋👋
Elaine i feel bad for you girl,ur still young u can brush off and come again. I bet there is a another star on the rise. Saying this again,elaine can u beg forgiveness and go back to mvp,they are the best who ever handle your injuries and get u ready when its the right time.
What is to be sad about? She has done what most MEN or women can do. The body breaks down even the GREATEST of athletes. That is not sad, it is just the body can only endure so many micro injuries until it cannot endure if further. She will always be awesome. Eventually, the current champs, women and men's bodies will someday begin to breakdown also. She has nothing to be ashamed. of.
Double Double Olympic Gold medalist, 100m Olympic Record holder, fastest woman alive with a PB of 10.54, the world record majority of people believes in. Ensure yall Put that in the beginning everytime this legends name is mentioned.
Past is PAST... You cannot live in the past... Past records are just for memories... You cannot glorify - and win another medal - in re-living the past.. Accept the fact that it is now high time for the old ones to RETIRE and give the baton to the young ones... I would say: for these old ones like Ellaine Thompson-Hera (31) and Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce (37) : RETIRE NOW... Or face the ignominy of defeat in the Paris Olympics...
I agree with most of what you said, but definitely disagree with>"PB of 10.54, the world record majority of people believes in" Naw the World Record Is 10.34 until Some Woman Athlete Breaks It. Regardless of the decades long unsupported thru Facts or Proof lies and slanderous accusations put forward against Flo Jo. Not having It. I also Definitely Believe that Eliane T-H, SAFP and SJ Are Top Tier Among The Most Accomplished And Decorated Sprinters Of All Time. Yet; I Ain't hating on No One through Favoritism Only.
What are you saying???? She doesnt need to show or prove anything bro...She is the second fastest woman and that will go down into our memories till someone else breaks her time and that of Flo jo....She will be fine

Just a Hypothesis…. She ran amazingly fast in 2021 setting PB’s which were the 2nd fastest ever at the time in both the 100 and 200m (The 100m still is) and hasn’t been able to recover to top form since. Yohan Blake ran 9.69 in 2012 shortly after was injured and had never got anywhere near that again. Maybe these Athletes got too close to the human limits and suffered for that. Usain Bolt was a genetic freak so these limits didn’t apply to his amazing times.
She end up here because she was so greedy, decide to leave her coach who made her,because she claimed he was getting paid too much,so she left and made her husband start coaching her, so she could keep all her earnings for herself, her husband didn’t know sh*t about what’s required, she started running slower and slower,now she is not making any money because she keeps coming last. Damn ungrateful, see now her career is done…
@@kennmiller3278 Franno is a coach,Ofcourse he doesn’t run the races dumb dumb, he prepares people to run, and without him she is nothing, but both you and Elaine to dumb to understand that,so continue to come last,silly billy.
She’s got nobody to blame but herself, if the record isn’t broken why fix it? Like I said mvp took her from nobody to someone and she left them to train with her high school assistant coach husband? Shake my head! She will have to be at her best or near her best to make that Jamaican team
Frano is Nike she’s with puma he can’t train her if she stay at mvp, which part people don’t get! Min she sign with puma she can’t work with him; he train her Nike would drop him

@@ard8785 Elaine is still fairly young but making bad decisions is what’s hurting her , she was within a fingertip of breaking a unthinkable record and you walk away from the best coach in track today to be trained by a high school assistant coach? Sorry but she’s got the brain of a Rockin horse!
Bottom line. She is not the only female sprinter running with chronic injury. When she was with Shaniqkie(?) Osbourne last year her times were improving. And she refused to pay the coach the STANDARD rte! Now she is once again paying for being a penny wise and a pound foolish
Be proud of your accomplishments. For you old timers don't be a Johnny Unitas (Chargers), Joe Namath(Rams) or Willie May's (Mets)./ No disrespect to Mays after his passing.)/
Every athlete has a window of peak performance. Elaine has been at peak performance since around 2012 through 2021. She’s about to be 32 in a couple of weeks. The problem elite athletes have is they don’t accept when their window has closed. We usually have to witness them limping off (physically or metaphorically).
Aside from her injuries which will surely hamper Paris Olympics 2024 dreams, ET-Hera is already 31 years old, TOO OLD for Olympics speed-track standards... SAF-Pryce is already 37, very, VERY OLD by Olympic standards, and also injured and definitely NOT ready for the Olympics.. SJackson, who is 29, is also not physically fit, her preparation is still not satisfactory... It seemed to me that the Jamaicans were just pinning their hopes on lost or PAST GLORIES... And it seems obvious that the Paris Olympics women's sprints will now below to either an American or an African... Time for the old ones to RETIRE and give the baton to the young ones...

Wrong about 31. Surprisingly, a lot of athletes have done GREAT at that age. Carl Lewis for one, ran 9.86 WR at 31 years old. They just didn't time their training properly and now have to press the gas before the Olympics. These coaches really effed up these sprinters this year.
@@aervaealtonelty9850 NO! I'm right! Ellaine Thompson-Hera is 31, going 32 on June 28. (She was born June 28, 1992). So, that makes her very old, as per Olympic standards… Convinced? And don't compare her with Carl Lewis... wrong comparison...

She has made her mark for Jamaica nuff respect walk good jah guide Elaine Thompson
You shouldn't be sad for her. She has one of the best track and field career ever!
Exactly
Nothing less forever she had a good run just like you’re saying well done, my darling Elaine

No she has not.
Then why is her career ending? 😅

I'd be surprised if she even makes the Olympics......time is a premium and I don't think she has enough
Hard to believe she can recover enough to be competitive in Paris--Only a month away!
She'll always be a Champian in my Book...🌹🌹

Great video.. unfortunate for Thompson-Herah. Which ai voice over are you using??
Elaine is just hard headed is knows what the problem is and there fue coach in Jamaica can deal with it
Are you in her training camp to know this?

Nothing lasts forever especially in sport.
