So many people were interested in track when she got caught- I have stoner friends and people who smoke it for medicinal purposes all over social media.
NBC should be hyping the hell out of this- win or lose this could be good for the sport and her personality can bring some people in as fans.

I understand routing for her because you like her. But don't be silly. How many women have EVER run 10.6 basic? Richardson has never come close. Stop the silly stuff fella.
Her Mt Sac run of 10.77 (-1.2) is a 10.68 basic
It adjusts to 10.70 basic. Funny how your math is off yet you use your posting name to poke fun and someone else.
Sha' Carri does get the attention of people, but not because she's likeable. She plays the villain which is fine. Hell, maybe it's because she's American and it's the first time since Carmelita that American women have someone who can compete. That's fine. Route for who wanna route. But, don't be surprised when she gets worked this weekend.
Pretty sure its 10.69 basic, but I think shacarri has a chance to win. She's had 2 months to clean up her start and I don't think that 10.6 basic was a perfect race anyway. I can see her winning in 10.58-10.62
10.70, but whatever. Close.
10.58-1062?????????????????????????
10.58's grow on trees?
Wrong.
The most conservative estimate puts her at 10.69. You pulled the 10.70 outta you're ass because it's not a 10,6. Nice try
Be more specific, she's a villain to YOU, the Jamaicans, arrogant Europeans, idiot conservatives and stuck up Boomers (oh what company to keep!).
She's loved by many more people than she is hated. You and your ilk have your little echo chambers in your little forums and think the whole world thinks as you do. You're sorely mistaken. Only you and your disagreeable bunch think anyone would be surprised if she "gets worked this weekend", but if she works the field, you'll have all the excuses ready for deployment. We see through the bullsh*t
An American who dares to break the mold of fake humility and fake graciousness always triggers people who take themselves and sport too seriously.
And it's ROOT, not ROUTE.
One, she got you to start a thread on her.
She has charisma and name recognition. Not bad for coming out of the blue this year.
She’s not expected to win this thing.
Third would be no heartbreak.
But if she did win it . . .
They're not interested in T&F though they just want to hop aboard the outrage bus with their pointless comments on instagram.
Out of the blue, she's the WJR holder
That's assuming she fixes her start which could take her to 10.60 basic.
This was her first time making the US team.
(Not a junior team)
From this view, considering how easily she won and how much attention she got, it’s our of the blue for me.
I honestly never heard of her before.
I may not be tuned in at all events at the college and junior level, but I am more than a casual fan of the sport.
This is assuming she can stay sober long enough to race

Just say you don't follow the sprints and call it a day.
Her name has been in the mouths of the "more than casual" fans for past 2 and half seasons. Where've you been?

Honestly, I can't help but think that if she could stay sober off weed, she could get a decent start for once. When I was doing the Chronic back in the day, my response time to various things sucked.

As well, they are more interested in the smoking of that foul, disgusting pot than T&F. Every story was about being banned for smoking pot. Had little to do with her actual performance. I suspect much of it was led by the canabis lobby who saw it as an opportunity to make further inroads into society by this gateway drug.
The question is will she be able to resist the temptation of smoking a fat one before the race.

This has nothing to do with potsmokers.
Most of her fans are a balanced mixture of the "Black Girl Magic/ BLM/ I am woman hear me roar" crowd, celebrities, Americans who watch the Olympics every four years and American track fans who are looking for a more successful version of Carmelita.

Yeah, SCR didn’t come out of nowhere. She was NCAA champion as a freshman and I believe set a new NCAA record in the 100. Then she immediately signed with Nike and went pro. She’s been a well known star in the sport for 2-3 years.
Agreed. It is much needed in T&F! We have enough Allyson Felix interviews out there. Sha 'Carri is so refreshing. She speaks her mind winning or losing.

Lol. I remember when Bolt won in Beijing '08 and American media, which knows nothing about T&F reported the following "WR 100m runner comes from nowhere! Jamaicans come out of nowhere!"
Uh...
Bolt before Beijing:
WR for 200m 15 and under
WR for 200m 17 and under
2004 Olympian at 17-18 y.o.
2005 WC Final: Was leading on the backstretch when he had to pull up w/ injury
Had run various 19.7s, 19.8s before turning 20
WR for 100m (9.72)
Jamaican Sprinters:
Herb McKinley: Oly silver
Neil De Grasse Tyson's Dad: Awesome athlete, would've been Olympian if not for WWII
Ben Johnson (immigrant to Canada): Oly silver, Oly champ (for a minute)
Linford Christie (immigrant to G.B.): Oly Champ
Donovan Bailey (immigrant to Canada): Oly champ
Sanya Richards Ross (immigrant to U.S.): world leader in 400 going into Beijing Oly
Merlene Ottey: Lots of silver, lots of bronze

Apparently, if you blow on trees
I predict 3rd, 10.75 in a historic race won in 10.62, second 10.65
