ShaCarri Chokes

From experience, it affects you a little if it’s raining, but wet track doesn’t slow you *much* unless it’s puddles

Hahahahahaha

By very little… you mean nothing coming from the 200m because she didn’t qualify for the USA team in the 200.

Same. Her yelling on that plane. Karma

Together with you in the yelling. All those American sprinters who disrespect other sprinters ought to get no gold medal at all. They need to be humbled properly 😂😂😂😂

Gotta wonder how much the warm up fiasco affected her race. It was enough for Shelly to DNS. Something seems off about this.

Well I don’t think “trash” is really warranted. Plus she still got a Silver medal so she did OK.

Say what you will about Julien's performance, but 10.87 for Richardson is BAD. If Richardson has a regular reaction time and runs a 10.75 and loses to Juliens 10.72, then YES, your post is spot on. But...10.87....

And getting left in the blocks?!?! Yikes...it's a choke job, as far as I'm concerned.

Really? Allow me to enlighten you:

Sha’Carri Richardson kicked off plane after argument with flight attendant

@nypost

American track and field star Sha’Carri Richardson was kicked off an American Airlines flight following an altercation with a flight attendant on Saturday.

Open link

All US media has hyped her up with the expectation of gold, so this is obviously a loss.

Will bring her down a peg or two, which she needs.

That start is appalling.

Needs to go back to basics. US sprinters get absurdly overhyped.

Blame it on the Rain

I do NOT need to be enlightened. You are as bad as you describe her when you label her as “trash.” This dehumanizing of another is the root of much violence perpetrated on our fellow humans. Do better.

She 100% choked. Looked terrified when she walked out.

Clearly, Shacarri has made very few friends on THIS message board.

Her reaction time was .221. A tenth slower than nearly everyone else. It was a total choke.

Yes and I posted the thread before the race as I could sense she would choke. And she did. But nobody should call her trash. And I know you did not.

Congrats to Alfred. Talented, humble, beautiful.

This is definitely not a place for friends.

Admittedly, I'm not a fan of her. But I would have liked to see her win, or at least be her best sprinting version of herself. Leaving stuff on the track sucks, imo. And when I see 10.87, especially due largely to a starting issue, is leaving a TON on the track for her.

Alfred ran 10.72 in the rain after a bit of a delay with no following wind. That’s roughly at or better than SCR has ever performed. You can fault SCR for not looking like she was at her absolute best, but it’s questionable whether she, or anyone else, would have won today with Alfred’s performance. You don’t always have to diminish one competitor when another is successful.
