In July one world track record will be FORTY YEARS OLD it was so stunning and far ahead of its time. We didn't fully realise what we had witnessed. Will people still be talking about SCR in fourty years time? Doubt it very much, sorry.
Be pleasantly surprised if/when very short sprinters win international 100m &/or 200m gold medals. They have to have great starts and they have to work extremely hard. The pounds per pressure per body weight very short sprinters have to apply to surface of the earth is off the chart. When short sprinters win, just clap, don't bet on it.
I don’t think you have any idea what it was like when Jesse Owens upstaged Adolf Hitler at the 1936 Olympics. But yeah I know Sha’Carri winning would be bigger….of course.
Jesse wasn't the first black man to win gold in 1936. Only the greatest.
Can’t believe this thread is into its second page and no one has pointed out what an obvious troll this is. But I’ll play anyway…I can think of dozens of T&F moments greater than SR winning a gold at worlds, unless she sets a crazy fast WR. My favorite moment was Derek Redmond in the 1992 Olympics getting help from his dad to finish the 400.
It's never good when ex drugs cheats win medals, and their results will always have asterisks next to them.
My negative thoughts about Shacarri are no secret, but she’s no drug cheat. Weed does absolutely nothing positive for your running, mostly just negative in fact. You can’t focus, the acute and chronic lung harm is obvious, and your mind body connection goes out the window, turning your head or standing up too quick will make you dizzy/nauseous let alone sprinting on a track.
Run either a mile or 100m all out, recover, and then do it again after smoking a bowl. If you can come within 15 seconds of your mile time or 1 second of your 100m time I’ll Venmo you 100 bucks.
It's not the weed, it's who she's trained under and with. Anyone that has kept close company with Justin "ARE YOU A HISTORY MAJOR" Gatlin and that is coached by Dennis Mitchell will always be tainted, period.
She reached a deal to miss the Olympics and have her "reputation" spared after a positive PED test that was not primarily for Marijuana. It was a real PED. But of course, those with the utmost power understand that track and field is a business to many. More PED positives from prevalent stars equates to less fans and revenue. Not rocket science.
Honestly, who cares? Everyone dopes. The Jamaican sprinters get faster in their mid 30s. FloJo died from PED use. Carl Lewis was doped to the gills. If you aren't doping, you aren't winning.
Sha'Carri's narrative arc has a perfect 3 act structure, the movie will be incredible. Maybe we'll get two competing movies like Pre and Without Limits. Will Sha'Carri get to play herself or just get a cameo? Discuss.
Shacarri shut out by Nike.tv - no residuals for re-broadcasts, zero, nada Nike.tv keeps all the fees for re-selling her 2023 championships. She gets zeo for the rest of her life What a rip
