Road to the Final: Women's Sprints - Wanda Diamond League 

I wholeheartedly agree, the world records in both the 100m and 200m were invincible for over 30 years and looked to stay that way for many more. until outta nowhere in the span of 2 years Elaine Thompson and Shericka Jackson just said "nuh-uh" LOL and now women's sprinting has come alive , I can even see Sha'carri getting 10.5s or lower in the future. plus I'm also interested to see what Syndey can do in the flat 400m once she's firing on all cylinders.

Sydney may be adout to meet her match, next year, unless this fall champions get injured or retire from sport to birth a baby.

bro . . . she became the 10th fastest woman in the 400m in her 2nd race in the event, she is quite possibly the most promising athlete in the event currently @@patobin2986

It's the truth

The women have been more competitive and exciting to me. Never knew who was going to win.

Ta Lou.a good out standing sprinter 😅

What if Talou wins 100m gold at Paris this year, beating Elaine, Shericka, Sha'Carri, Shelly-Ann and Julien?

Talou might even break her own African record this year.

Elaine is the Queen of the Olympics, but her competition this year is so tough: three other athletes with recent 10.6 PBs (Shericka, Sha'Carri, Shelly-Ann) and many others with 10.7 and 10.8 PBs (Talou, Sears, Alfred, etc)

Florence was clean and the fastest sprinter. Everyone here knows this, they just pretend they don't. Pure soul, body, spirit. This trio is the winner. FloJo will be the best forever❤

I was thinking the same thing.

The scary part about it is she's only 23. She's younger than the other ladies were when they reached the speeds she's exhibiting now.

@@mistermilkman not everyone peak at the same age. Usain bolt peaked at age 22, while Shelly Ann peaked at 35 for example.

@@PhoneBypass I understand that, but the ladies typically peak later. N her situation, she's getting better.

And Sha'Carri Richardson's primary focus is clearly on the 100 meters so let's not make excuses for Shericka's 'loss' here. They are both track queens in their specialty. Kudos to both of them.

@@Shoggy56 Of course and I totally agree that's what Sha Carri's main focus is, the 100m. But the point of my post wasn't about the 100m, but the 200m because that's what Shericka Jackson said is her main focus this season, she believes (rightly or wrongly) that she can break the 200m WR and her training has been specifically geared towards that one goal. Sha Carri Richardson is a brilliant sprinter but she's not specifically aiming to break the 100m WR this season, she's aiming to show that she's the best/fastest woman on the planet over 100m this season....and she's making a clear statement of that fact. Shericka definitely wants to beat Sha Carri over 100m but it's still not the primary focus because she knows she's in the best form of her career so as to attempt to break the 200m WR, she has zero chance of breaking the 100m WR season .... if ever. Sha Carri definitely has the potential to do it in a future season if she can keep progressing as she is currently doing 👍🏾

@@Shoggy56 IDGAF about steroid eating Sherika Jackson or her partners in doping Herah and Pryce. They getting they a$$es handed to them by Sha'carri so live with it.

@@merfibeemused Well stated

Richardson may be a joy to some people to watch but for me it is only when she gets beat that I feel real joy.

Then in the finals it was the 100 for Sherika and 200 for Sherika. She saved her strength for the money lol

I see her grabbing a 100m medal at the Olympics. It's her time.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Go Ta Lou⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We are yet to see a fit and blazing Elaine go against Sherika, if there's anyone who can challenge and maybe even beat her in the 200, it is definitely Elaine.

@@jamesagba8604or gabby

@@jamesagba8604 If Elaine come back, one of these two girls will break FloJo record

​@@jamesagba8604ETH, is a hundred meters great, so in the two hundred if she gets to the first one hundred in 10, 65 or 10, 70 she can go under 21, 40 breaking the world record

Only Lois Lane can defeat Shericka in the 200meters......and even then Ms. Lane would have have to be carried by Superman , Superwoman and The Flash to cross the finish before Shericka Jackson!

Amen

Remains to be seen…still very early in her career and so few remain consistent over time to become a legend. Shelly Ann is the Queen!

That's what happens when you start to fast it should be a transition to top speed

Asher-Smith used to maintain it. There has been something off this season.

@@ajrocks12xoff since her stellar performance in Doha 2019

@@Brave-828 : No, it was later than that. She picked up an injury in her national trial for the Tokyo Olympics, when she was running the 100M. She has not been the same since.

Usa 🇺🇸 coming for that ass

nah.ah. sport is unpredictable.

Exhausted from doing what - running one sub 11 seconds race or running one sub 22 seconds race. Are you crazy. An English Premier League footballer (soccer) is on the pitch for 45 minutes then 15 mins break before going back on the pitch for another 45 mins. When it's a competition they may have to play for an extra 30 minutes. Which part of an 100m sprint makes an athlete exhausted? Are you crazy?

He is able 🎉

Absolutely! 🙏🏿

which god does the other 7 women pray to

@brownsugar8378 So God chose not to help the other runners win?

@@Redridge07 Waste of time asking a logical question to believers who have no critical thinking. If she loses it’ll be god’s will…if she wins god helped her…wtf!!!

Only because she’s a 400m runner as well, which gives her insane endurance when she drops down to the 200m, the other ladies don’t do that which is why Shericka has zero current competition in the 200m .

have relay events ?

I wish Jackson can focus on the 200m alone at the diamond meets to stay well rested so she can have a shot at the record

I know for a fact that She has been killing the 200 meters and I also know a fact that Shaccari has beaten her 5 times in the 100 meters this year.

She needs to change her coach ‼️

She is always a CONTENDER

That means she would have to be in 10.6 form

the thing is, she has always been one hell of a contender, I'm just glad she is now having her own winning streak this season.

Welcome

Thankyou

She never is counted out until she has to run rounds

Really? Which god? And if your girl loses let me guess…god’s will? 🤨

​@@nibsvkhGod is in all of us. If you win, if you lose.

Thats a he

I don't like to see men in women sports.

Are you a coach?

@@ygmistique8155they’re not a coach, they are simply a genius!

​@@Luk3d411No. If that was the case how come Elaine leave her coach back in 2021 when her fastest time was 10:54. She was just 0:05 away from the world record. Only a fool would leave a World Class Elite coach when you are winning.

Her form definitely needs to be improved. You can see the errors of it when she runs side by side with Sha'carri. Sha'carri's is flawless.

@@warrior9212 Elaine as well. It almost seems at some point as if the wind is carrying them. A little tweaking and she is good to go. Interestingly enough this is arguable as SJ achieved the fastest top end speed in that race so I don't know how to prove my point.

she's been injured all season - needs surgery.

Abby better get her surgery completed now so she will have plenty of healing time before the Olympic trials begin. Sure, she can ignore the flesh of injury with shots and medications, while collecting participation pay checks. Meanwhile, her injuries worsen. Personally, I do not expect her to be able to get on the podium with any of the women running first in this years track meets.😢 PT

Tbh, I think Abby will really show her true skills in 2025 and not before then. I could be wrong though, she could place bronze in 200m I reckon@@patobin2986

She has already had her surgury. This race was over 3 months ago. @@patobin2986

@RobertCorydon: Elaine Thompson-Herah is coming back to regain her throne. The gold will be a fight between Sha'carri and Elaine. Sha'carri will have to step up her game and run 10.6s consistently so that she can start dropping 10.5s.

Here around thier is nothing as someone's throne the game is difficult all are medal prospect sir

@@RobertCorydon-wd4og Only one of those athletes have run a sub 10.6. Until others do it, I will give her the crown.

@@RobertCorydon-wd4ogare you forgetting that she and Shericka Jackson share the fastest time of the year at 10.65s? Also, Elaine Thompson is quickly coming back to form and on paper is the second fastest woman of all times at the 100m (10.54); let’s also note the fact that she has run 10.65s or better 4 times already in her career. Sha’Carri has all the potential in the world and I’m happy to see her evolve. But to say no one is coming close… is quite the stretch. Especially considering she only won the final by .07 over Shericka.

@@ImagineJoyy jackson did 10.65 before sha carr but in the finals she didn't get close to her moreover she has also been beaten few days ago 10.76

Flo jo record is a criminal record (drug) see how she died call a spade a spade.

American bias/blind to what everyone could see in ‘88! Juiced to the max and dropped dead a few years after quitting track as soon as new testing was implemented…wake up!

flojo 10.49 was wind aided. Her fastest time is 10.61 legally

It's not her best distance, 200m is more like it

A fit Elaine might push her in the 200m and the record might go. I wish Jackson can focus on the 200m alone at the diamond meets to stay well rested so she can have a shot at the record

Of course she cares about the 100m. It’s the most popular event in T&F. It’s just that there are faster sprinters there

Shericka cant beat shacarri in the 100, only the 200 which she said is her baby

@sunshinepeace I disagree. I believe she's trying to not injure herself. After she breaks the record I'm excited to see what happens next. Both their fastest time in the 100m is 10.65. Tied 5th fastest women of all time, right now. It's obvious where both their focuses are. Who can beat Sha'carri in her best shape is Elaine Thompson Herah. She's not in the best shape this year, but her fastest 100m time set at the last olympics was 10.54 second only in history to Flo Jo's 10.49. She's the second fastest woman of all time. But I'm Happy for Sha'carri this is her time to shine, way to make a comeback.

If he says "Meeting", it's meeting. Top announcer (Tim Hutchings?) in the World. I can never believe how well he calls races with staggered starts. And field events without the need for an on the field reporter. Cites marks in meters when we all know feet and inches are more correct.😬 Prolly uses football for the kicking game🙃

@@larrypholbrook It's a Track Meet. Not a Track Meeting.

@@harleyb-ham266 I would like to remind you to remember that track 'meet' is American English, and track 'meeting' is British & Commonwealth English. There are plenty of words/phrases that are spelled, termed, delivered different in British English compared to American English, to name a few: recognise (UK)/ recognize (USA), rubber(UK)/ eraser(USA), truck(USA)/ lorry(UK). I am from a commonwealth country [South Africa] whereby we are taught English according to the UK standard, so even in my country we call it an 'Athletics meeting' (we don't even mention: 'track' standalone, if they do get specific they usually say 'Track & Field meeting'). In America you guys just yell 'Track meet', and call it a day. So yes the British commentator 'Tim Hutchings' is absolutely correct in saying 'meeting' record.

@@laboriousTwala Wrong. Learn to speak "real" English bone head. Or do you guys mispronounce bone head too?!

@@laboriousTwalathanks for educating that bacon-fed American

What a hater! Sha'carri is much more likely to break the 100m WR than Shericka. You obviously don't understand the sport.

Que comentario más parcializado Obviamente estamos ante un pro Jackson, lo que lo convierte en un inhábil comentarista.
