I love it. These athletes always get screwed over in the beginning. They run these amazing times and only get paid when they hit certain historical marks instead go paying them for competing and appearing. Every other professional athlete gets paid for just showing up. Track and Field need to do the same thing. Expand the comp. Make it fun. Celebrate the athletes.
@@bkman0978 That’s the best part! You don’t have to tell anything. Everyone in track puts their bodies through tremendous stress and tears to crank out these times. Everyone has their ups and downs, but I guess everything you is perfect.
@omarmcknight2485 I am perfect but I understand ETH isn't. She seemingly fell off since last Olympics if you didn't realize. I'm slightly being sarcastic but she hasn't been in form for years. I want Jamaica to go 1,2,3. Everyone including Shacarri is improving. She may not medal after probably being the GOAT. She's had 3 years to recover her body, if you didn't notice. Something is wrong with her situation.
@B33Goddess I know the answer and her career probably better than you. She's also probably the slowest woman alive too. Lol... I love her but if you don't think she's been struggling, give up.
@@bkman0978 and? She got paid who cares about this race Olympic is what counts; she 31 can’t run all her life why not bag all the cash she can, never know what can happen ETH have the future in mind; some of us would do the same thing; she get these opportunity’s she got to be smart plan for the future and retirement, and she don’t care I wouldn’t either; you all going to feed her when she retire?
I just don't remember both her and shericka having extra "soft girth" in the thigh area during the early season slow times... they were both still 100 in muscle tone during the other "early" seasons and just needed to get the timing and other aspects down.. which they did... but this year, they "look" ...... ummmm "less".... God bless you ladies....lets go!!!
something is goin on. it just doesnt make sense, especially shericka’s 200 loss. shericka does not lose 200 m! wtf is going on?? she looks heavy & bloated… so late in the game arent we? well, imma shut up and wait til jamaica trial. also whats goin on with the sprint queen shelly ann?? where she at now physically?
@@MrDjbuckethead not all the seasons, some April, May, June, but she always ended her seasons with 10.7. Last year when she wasn’t healthy she opened in june with 11.21, ended her season with 10.79.
I am an Australian. I am a huge Elaine fan. I am an old fat white guy but I won my high school 100m in 1970. Lol 🎉 I ran track at university in the seventies. My best was 10.50. I know she can beat me soon ❤❤❤
Dude, she’s 31!! She’s never gonna approach anything close to your (excellent 10.50! 👏) …UNLESS, she on ‘roids (which in Track is always possible). If she runs 10.65 ever again, I’ll be shocked/impressed. I LOVE her, but she’s on the downward slide of her career!
In my opinion if she dnt wanna Run anymore, well She should just Quit!! She's not obligated to do so🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ She just dnt seems happy running anymore. Ijs., idk....
The prize money for each event is $30,000 for an individual winner, followed by $12,000 for the runner-up, with additional places receiving $7,000, $4,000, $2,500, $2,000, $1,500, and $1,000 for last place
Shericka probably didn’t want the pressure of being one of the few athletes performing somewhat good right now n decided she needed to hold some cards close to her chest.
Another example of how Jamaica hasn’t had anyone popped or any whereabouts failures since 2012 lol. This is shocking tho. She always sucks until it’s the Olympic year then she’s usually the best. Crazy
I never understood the playing possum statement. Do professional athletes not train as hard if their competition doesn't perform well 🤷🏽♂️ or do they train hard knowing what their competition is capable of 🤔
@@shernettclarke4049 That has nothing to do with her playing possum though. Playing possum is to intentionally deseve 🤷🏽♂️ She's not playing possum so why would ppl even say she is
I think it maybe a strategic run 🏃♀️ but she needs to know that she is one of the faces of the sport and we the spectators are always looking for great performances to help lift trajectory of the sport. That’s why Bolt, Gatlin, Tyson , vankirk and others will always be remembered for what they did in elevating the interests ithe sports
Thing is, an athlete and his/her coach, knows best how to condition the athlete. It all well and good what us as spectators desire, we must get to that place when we can subdue our egos and allow the athletes to peak when the time is right. Don't bada wid the yoyo thing. By now, we must realize that the athlete knows his her body best. Thats why the bible tells us, the race is not for the swift, neither the battle for the strong but for him who endures to the end. If we proclaim love for our athletes, then we must trust the process. Don't join the band wagon and start castigate. They need to trust us. Can they?
Elaine Thompson Herah is coming back from an injury, her coach has seen her performance in a competitive field, and they're going to keep working on her form and mental fitness for the Olympics Trials... Gatlin of all the person is aware of what's going on and she's still the fastest female over the 100m... Elaine Thompson Herah isn't at her peak, still working on getting there.
Yeah I don't get the whole playing possum thing. I get turning up for the bag. I think she gotta run to at least 65-75 percent to see where she at. Personally I like the approach of Sha'carri better, not leaving everything till last few weeks, less stress, can just concentrate on tweaking things and being fresh but still getting a good feel for actual competition without showing too much.
What we really want to know is what y'all think about Shelly Ann do y'all think she will surprise and upset everybody and stun the world once again...whats the thoughts around her and whats the news on the floor.
But you don't know how much she is spending or supporting, so she may need the money. All I know is that everyone else seems to be more consistent than Elaine.
Justin you are one of the greatest.100 m runner ever you are not giving the credit and honour that you deserve. This is coming from a Jamaica . Tyson gay is the toughest. Always running injuried. I am a jamaican
2022, she opened up with a 400m and ran 56 sec, and finished last. Had she not won the Commonwealth title that year, the season would have been a total failure...2023, she opened up with another disastrous 400m, running 60 seconds. She was still being coached by her husband. Had Shaneke Osbourne not stepped in to coach her, she would not have made the World Champs relay team. Her season ended with a 10.79 at the Grand Prix meet. Her fastest time since 2021 10.54. 2024, she gets rid of Miss Osbourne in a dispute over money, even though the formula which they came up with seemed to be working. Opening race of 2024 Olympic season, she is now sharing Shelly-Ann's coach, she runs a 11.3 sec 100m and finishes last, talking about "a 1000 mile journey.." Perhaps someone should remind her that her Olympic Title defence is a lot closer !!
