Is Shelly Anne Fraser Pryce the Goat?

Good point. Her back to back doubles, including defeating SAFP in both Rio and Tokyo, complicates the GOAT argument for SAFP. I don’t think there is one clear-cut female sprint GOAT. Valid cases can be made for several women. If forced to choose, I’m going with Devers for excelling in both the flat and the hurdles.

It appears steroids are the staple diet of goats.

Most obvious PED user of all time.

yes,and i think in years to come there will be a spate of "all time greats" who will pass away younger than they should.

She looks more like a happy capybara to me, so I’d say a happybara rather than a goat. Bolt looked literally more like a goat and even had a goatee at one point iirc.

The goat to what? She’s not even her countries current best lol. ETH doesn’t take world champs seriously. She never has. I’m sure she takes a different cocktail of drugs for olympic years. SAFP just stays gassed up every year.
love them both tho. But no way is SAFP the goat when ETH is two time triple gold and has the times.

Peds aren’t bad for ya if used correctly. Get ready to cry when they outlive your anorexic looking male distance runners

Felix is the USA favorite and maybe the US goat. She doesn’t belong in the same sentence as SAFP tho. Lets be real here. Now I think Felix is at an extreme disadvantage but that’s her choice.

I tend to agree with this. It’s tougher to do what they did and almost no one has done it.

mo Farah, as much as dislike him, did it too (5,000m/10,000m) which is incredible.

Where did Devers get 10 individual gold medals from. She won the 100 twice at the Oly. She won the 100m once at Worlds. She has 1 indoor 60M. How did you get 10 individual gold medals?

Its hard to believe with all the Ato Bolden raving about he age of 35, turning 36 in 5 months, that there is barely any scrutiny on this? She actually is more dominant than before, and no one says boo? If this was a male sprinter ie. Gatlin, who was indeed popped and legitimately suspect? If this was a make 35.5 year old? There would be whsipwrs if not yells everywhere, Most, most sprinters are not running like this at almost 36.

She has 3 indoor 60s. Along with 3 outdoor hurdles golds. And another indoor hurdle gold.

Here’s the full list of 10 individual gold medals Gail Devers has won, in chronological order:

1. 1992 Olympic 100
2. 1993 World Indoor 60
3. 1993 World Outdoor 100
4. 1993 World Outdoor 100 hurdles
5. 1995 World Outdoor 100 hurdles
6. 1996 Olympic 100
7. 1997 World Indoor 60
8. 1999 World Outdoor 100 hurdles
9. 2003 World Indoor 60 hurdles
10. 2004 World Indoor 60

What is there to celebrate? She’s been a known doper for quite some time and shows all the noted signs of a user. Love how women like SAFP get even more bulky as time goes by and more masculine way beyond any typical physical prime. Braces check. Storming out of interviews when drugs are brought up, check. Working with suspect agents, check. It’s not even about the drugs. Or athletes admittIng when caught they made “mistakes”. It’s what happens after that. The lies. The deceit. The people they tear down with them in order to stay in the sun and look like an innocent. It’s the manipulation of the narrative. The selling of a fraud. There’s nothing to celebrate here, and many defending and celebrating athletes like this don’t seem to care why track & field continues to degrade its quality in the cesspit of history. When you embrace the worst elements of sport you will be left with no true fans because it will all be a farce. Which is truly sad for a sport that is about raw physical and mental performance.

FWIW, ETH has a 12-5 head-to-head career advantage over SAFP (9-4 at 100, 3-1 at 200). Plus ETH has the 100/200 Olympic “double-double,” and faster PBs, so I think it’s hard to call SAFP definitively greater than her. Of course, SAFP has her beat in longevity and sheer number of Olympic/WC medals, but she’s 5.5 years older so that could tighten up in the coming years.

JWH, I’m with you on this one. Who do you consider to be the female sprinting GOAT? ETH?

If she is the GOAT, then she deserves to have her name spelled correctly! Shelly-Ann (no "e") Fraser-Pryce. Even if you're not a great speller, I can't imagine you posting on an NFL board, "why Tom Bradey is the GOAT."

SAFP is the 100M female goat. 7 global 100M titles. 5 world championship 100m titles, 2 Olympic 100M titles. I think we can agree on that.

As to getting faster with age, her mechanics is better, she has refined her craft. Start, transition out of the blocks, compare the fluidity of her motion to where she was when she started out 14 years ago.

In Atlanta they had to go to thousandths to separate her from the gold.
