What next for Elaine Thompson-Herah? | SportsMax Zone 

that is everyobody's problem so

I love Stephen Francis when he said he will NEVER take her back at MVP

@@jabaltariq4606 I would take back any other athlete, but not her!

@vengeance27 I am in total agreement with you. She made a decision that has put a damper on her career, no one is perfect but I hope she has learned from this. I am very empathetic towards her situation. She is a brilliant athlete and when she is fit she is ecstatic

So true i agree.

agree stick to what you know

Absolutely. I think she was planning to survive off the little knowledge gain there but has not been able to manage her injuries. Everyone who tries to help her in the right way her husband push them away because of greed. She has lost so much money since then penny wise and pound foolish indeed

Her husband destroyed her career. He is selfish and greedy

Yeh because with that coach she would not get injured 🤦🏿‍♂️

Make millions but so damn mean you cut the person who made you what u are just so u don’t have to pay anyone

I think this is what’s happening. People crucifying Elaine for leaving MVP as if they are sure she would not have these issues right now if she was still with Frano. She struggled with injuries under Frano and missed lots of time from the track. I think she is just getting older. Only if Jamaicans could actually offer support and encouragement instead of tearing down the woman. I hope God raise her up one more time to silence the doubters, as if they would have done much better if they were in her shoes.

@@Posting7You’re totally off mark…..She had issues,yes…..But she was part of a camp that not only brought her successes but had in-depth knowledge of her body and injury history,and were able to manage her injuries accordingly…..If it ain’t broken,why try fix it….This is squarely on her…….Wish her all the best nonetheless. Now,it isn’t only physical but psychological as well…..

@@joegrinefine The business of MVP isn't just about manging her history. She has to work with the entire team and relationships disintegrated. I'm not off track at all, I know coach Francis resume. I give him credit where it's due but he is not a miracle worker. Is clear the injury is now chronic and getting worse with age. That's why I said she could have been struggling even if she was still at MVP

@@Posting7 Again….You are off track…..🤣🤣🤣 I never alluded to anything else of which I’m very well aware…..What is being underscored again,is the fact that due to the peculiarity of her career and injury history,it was prudent to stick with the tested and proven,instead of jumping from pillar to post…..Especially at this juncture in her career…..Particular injuries can either be recurrent and/or have spin-offs….Despite having an injury-plagued career,she was being managed and nursed accordingly to perform at an elite level when it mattered most -FACT‼️ Since she has left MVP,she has done nothing but spiral downward with no end in sight- FACT‼️ As someone with a track & field background,what she did,wasnt prudent in the circumstances.Plain and simple‼️

​​​@@joegrinefineMr sir, is it true dat that your messiah and savior (franni), can run 10.54, raise the dead, turn wata into wine, walk on wata, and do all kinds of foolery/fantastical imaginings??? 🤫 *Listen how yu sound*

Humility

​@@divinee.155 *BEST COMMENT EVER* and it's true for most athletes...

Mi cry😢😢

Did you watch the interview with both of them during that time ? They both say they don’t want to work with each other anymore ever!

She wants to be History Maker.

Amen and amen

Serves her right. Ungrateful

Can't ETH think for herself or they both have the same mindset.

The husband automatically became her manager and started making all the wrong decisions for her and her career started spiraling down hill. So unfortunate

You people realize Team Jamaica not looking good for Olympic ; USA planning to whip Jamaica ass ; Frano can’t turn water into wine; he himself talk about that injury she was also injured last Olympic because of COVID she was able to recover; leave the past mvp, husband all that crap just cheer her on all that is happening is also mental please she got feelings put yourself in her shoe, we don’t know what transpired at MVP as well as we don’t know what’s going on in her house

What you pay for is what you get. Greedy

Right! They have different management teams, different sponsors and they are two different persons!

Or maybe since he identified that Shelly listened to the coach’s advice that maybe Elaine is not listening 🤷🏾‍♀️ it’s fishy. Something is up! It’s so sad 😞

@@kemzbas What’s fishy was her going to Walcott in the first place. Most of y’all claim her and Shelly are at odds, so why did she decide to go where she’s at odds with someone?

​@rosh5073 She obviously chose her management team and husband over the coach's advice. Her husband is obsessed with money and it has ruined her career. I'm sure Walcott told her not to run!!!!!

@@kemzbasoh, come on, people…you all need to stop making these things up. The coach tells the athlete when they will or will not run…period. Not Elaine nor any other signed athlete makes those decisions…it is entirely the coach and staff, or the sponsors that require certain events be run. Let’s not make this so complicated or be unfair…Elaine does what her coach says. Even Franno said his FAVORITE kind of athlete is Elaine, because SHE DOES WHAT HER COACH TELLS HER. Franno very specifically said this about her and her being her favorite there. I think what is up and what is fishy is I believe Elaine is faking again. First of all, she usually opens around 11.2 anyhow, and that 11.3 in cold weather seemed faster than 11.2 in performance. She got out good, and slowed down before the drive. This time, she got out good, drove good, and didn’t transition into the third phase. At one point, I thought she was gonna propel forward and win the race. She turned off her jets, and she even closed her fists at one point (Elaine runs with open hands), which tells me she let go. This 11.4 into a massive headwind was damn near 11 flat in reality anyhow, if not even better than that. Elaine now looks fine to me…the only thing she didn’t do here is hit her final gear….she’s still got the gear.

Ungrateful is not the word!!! SMH I have never seen USA fan base talk about their athletes like the Jamaican do their athletes sad

😂 so agree lol

EXACTLY!!! People so caught up bashing her they all forget she was in boots last Olympic and wasn’t able to really train because of COVID she was able to rest get off the foot

I hope SAFP medals but I doubt she wins. Shericka will be ready but she definitely isn’t where she was last year. I really don’t like talking about weight but she is heavier. I believe in her though!

Jacko is not holding back, she is having a slow start to her season, just have to pray she peak in time

@@kpat3052 Yes, I noticed that as well. Not the appearance of fitness seen before. Look forward to new talents and seeing if the old holds on.

And many people are not gonna comment on this because they don't like this narrative but the one where Stephen is lifted to Godly/kingly status and Elaine is seen as the little ungrateful idiot who is all about money. I don't know if this narrative is true but it makes sense. If it is true Elaine herself could have possibly spoken on the matter.

But it's gone past Stephen Francis now. Every decision that she has made since she left has been poor and centred around how much money she can make or save. Other athletes have left his camp and can still compete. It is illogical to have the level of injuries that you do and then move to a unprofessional coaching set up. You then get a coach who had you at the best that we've seen in years and you left for money again. You're now with a coach who has a solid reputation of building athletes and allowing them to rest when they have injuries. Why are you the odd one out? Based on what has been seen before, it's money. She wants the appearance fee and at that cost she's hurt herself again. What's happened is that the years she spent not managing her injuries are coming back to bite her. Also, you can be upset with Francis but he seems to be the only person capable of managing her injuries so you can't take that away. He might be self centred but so is she and her team.

People talking about money grabbing please if it was most of us we would grabbing the bag too!! And don’t say not all; money change people!

@@sofiesop1rey2 the difference is that when normal people change a job for more money we are training one office chair for another. We aren't making our money of pushing our bodies in sport everyday. Track and fields athletes have a short shelf life to begin with so you have to find a balance otherwise you won't make money and you can end up with serious life altering injuries. She needs to learn how to care for her body

@@cammie83 so agree, balance is key; but I know some folks would do the same why judge ; judging part is what I don’t like

Why should he?

Because Coach Francis knew best how to manage her injuries.He had a system in place to help her through her injuries which her husband and obviously her new coach are not managing well do

I see family as more important than career. And her career as you said has been brilliant.

​@@Ronriko1exactly..... he speaks as if there would be something wrong going home to her hubby. She has achieved a lot..... if her career has now ended no big deal .

@@Jamcan4484right

Right

That's what I was thinking it should Because I'm from South Africa and we don't really have national championships for Olympics-- they pick players based of off performances from the last year's world championships and this year's diamond league performances but yeah for Olympics you should qualify on your own

No, only the WC allows the defending champion an automatic qualification

@@garthsherwood8102 Okay 👍

No it doesn’t offer automatic qualification

Oh stop with that BS. She will have a baby if and when she wants. Stop reducing her to a uterus. This is not the 1950s.

Thank you! Frano neva did a wuk fi free

Well I don’t know about 2021😂. She won the Olympics and became the fastest woman alive. But I get you on the other years.

@@kpat3052 2020 OLYMPIC WAS HELD IN 2021. SHE LEFT MVP SEPTEMBER OF THAT YEAR

@@kgraamd oh ok. Post season. It’s still wrong to say that she should be miserable if she didn’t like it there. Would you want to be miserable every day at work? Did you say the same when Shelly and others left? Why is this directed at Elaine? Does she not get to do what’s best for her?

@@kpat3052 SHE LEFT BECAUSE OF MEDDLING HUSBAND AND MONEY, HOW DID IT WORK OUT? SHELLYAN ON THE OTHER HAND LEFT BECAUSE OF ELAINE, SHE WAS MISEARBLE.

@@kgraamd sounds like both of them made a choice because they were miserable. It was her choice to do as she wished, correct? Even if you don’t agree with her choice.

Agree with you @DWAYNEASULLIVAN

No. Because she hasn't even ran the Olympic standard yet.... if she ran the Olympic standard then she could.

She can’t, she had to be ranked in the top 3 in the world to do that. She already has the Olympic standard

​@allaboutsprinting 11.07 is the Olympics standard...Her fastest time this season is 11.30.

If the athlete met the standard within the 12-24 month period then they don’t have to run

@@allaboutsprinting she ran 10.79 at late last year prefontaine!

Same way suh @EightFrancs

How you figure ? She told you she has mental health issues ?

I was in love with Juliet. , I live in the great state of Ohio and I was fascinated by her. I was sad when she pulled up with a muscle pull on the relay because she was getting down.

U are one of those who are incapable of self reflection

I think she should too

In that case, all athletes would get a break as we just not talk about them

“I BURN BRIDGES “ very famous quote!

I agree that she should’ve just stayed out 2018 and 2019 especially when 2018 was not a championship year, and 2019 was just a world champship year and not an Olympics one Sigh.

@@albertmaraj right. Elaine is the absolute best female sprinter, period. She was on fire in 2017 before her injury. Yeah, she got injured…okay, let her heal. I’m upset they rushed her to run again. Although Elaine had an excellent 2021, I don’t like seeing her injured and I’m disappointed she isn’t getting the opportunity to show what’s she’s really made up…she should have won every single championship title since then.

God is good

E H T just get some good help, rest, and stay out for this year let every think get settled with your health and then move on , I think you need that injury to be healed well look after.

@@altheastewart1193 since it is Olympic year she needs to stay on the gas. However, I definitely think she should take a break next year and see if she can get some R&R.

Ñ

Exactly and also to avoid liability.

Nice acting job....show zero sign of discomfort during the entire race!!

@@dwayneoneil689 yep...as is normal.with many athletes.

@@dwayneoneil689do now everyone becomes god and psychological experts now you all know it was mental problems blah blah

So you are suggesting her to divorce her husband to advance her career?

Damn

@@kpat3052 not at all, just leave him out of her career. he has proven himself unworthy to manage her career

Agree @enahenderson but she made that choice. 😮

Shelly good to go

@@torianobess9012 how so?

@@Ronriko1 you will see when she hits the track

People leave their jobs all the time

@@sandraforeman3070Exactly!!!! It’s been 3 years they still won’t let it go

Even though you saw Julien Alfred beat Sha'carri and she ran 10.78 this year you still believe that only Elaine could beat Sha'carri?

2021 Elaine vs 2023/2024 Shacarri, yes. Not 2024 Elaine.

Elaine is not the only one who has the top end speed to beat shacari. Shacari has been beaten by many other athletes before

@karenmartin2457 having top end speed faster than Shacarri and beating her are 2 totally different things. She looses when she gets a poor start. Her top end is relatively unmatched. 2023 Shericka and 2023 TaLou could hang. Very few have her speed.
