Official Worlds Day 3 Live Thread: W100m Final - Sha'Carri v Shelly v Shericka v Ta Lou

Watching these pictures of the lap of honour, not seeing much bitterness between the three medallists.

Worth noting that Ta Lou takes another 4th place finish. Gotta feel for her a bit

He's referring to black people enjoying themselves. He HATES IT. Let's go SCR!

How do? Please explain

She was in shock and disbelief.

Let me guess. You’re a hater?

Not aging well

Honestly. Compare this to last year with Thompson-Herah won...

lol

A little bit but it’s a pattern where her semis are better than her finals costing her a place every time

I don't hate her in the slightest, all over seen of her is on the track so there is nothing to hate. Phenomenal performance but bizarre behaviour

Would it be weird if runners could choose the lane they run in the finals based on seed times?

Like if top seed from semis wants to run in lane 2 or 9, you let them and then work your way down the list asking who wants which remaining lanes

There were actual interpersonal issues with ETH. For Sha’Carri, it seemed it was more they were annoyed by someone who wasn’t relevant getting more attention than them. Once she started warranting it this year, there’s mutual respect.

Any update on Warholm?

I have 2 questions?

The seeding from the womens Prelim to Semi made no sense. They did not appear to be from the prelim times, SB or PB. Sha'Carri had fastest prelim time so makes no sense that she would be in the middle heat. Any ideas?

Then, it's now an amazing story, but how on earth did she end up in Lane 9 in the final?

She had the 3rd fastest time from the Semis. Ok so she was a little q, and they planed to take 8 to the final. So she had fastest little q, so maybe she would get 7th priority? Lane 1?
But no, then the other little q ends up in a tie so they take both of them for a 9 lane final. And she is the one in lane 9? Anyone?

She was in complete shock. You could tell this meant everything to her. Usually very confident and she looked nervous but focused. Went from thinking she may go home after 3rd in semis to leaving as World Champ.

It's so wild that it could be a movie script.

I picked Jackson (with SCR silver), but I was 100% rooting for SCR.

Can somebody explain why SCR was in lane 9? She was the fastest who qualified on time, which makes her 7th seed. So lane 2 or 8 would've made sense.

I’ve always wondered this myself. Seems to make too much sense.

The reaction seemed fake to me and really immature

There’s a formula that takes the qualifiers and spits out semis. It’s not arbitrary though it has the 1 seed face 2 Heat winners which is dumb. Now I don’t know why they don’t sort the time Qs by time.

I think both Jamaicans were like "wow, we ran good races, didn't even see you over there!"
