Abby Steiner 51.70

Triggggggerd…. 🤪

Yeah I don’t know why people around here they will not get called out on such laughably inaccurate claims.

Thread gone off the rails, per usual. Great opening from Steiner, getting close to 50 scratch outdoor capability before she sharpens for the 200m could do wonders for her strength and not to mention longevity. Anything faster than that and she may consider bumping up even

For me, she’s more of an MJ-type, rather than a Felix-type, considering the sprint style and strengths and weaknesses.

IDK what her vmax is like, but maybe she lacks the ability to speed bloom in an event like the 100, or esp 4x1. Among men there is a huge difference, which is why you would never see MJ on the 4x1…BUT the ability to accelerate while upright can be super handy in the relay, especially if combined with the ability to run the curve.

IF she can be a standout in any event, I would think it would be the 400, like MJ was. His 400 record lasted much longer than the 200, and in the 200 he separated from the historical pack really only once. Sure they put her in the shorter stuff, but now it’s real. 200, sure, especially if indoors…but 400 might be the ticket, if MJ is any useful guide.

That's what athletics is all about. Competition. Who would want to compete at the highest level with no one to push you or try to beat? I am sure Steiner welcomes those who are perceived to be better than her.

Results of the World Championship 4x100.

11.35 11.35 Jefferson
21.21 9.86 Steiner
31.26 10.05 Prandini
41.14 9.88 Terry
11.45 11.45 Nelson
21.55 10.10 Thompson-Herah
31.52 9.97 Fraser-Price
41.18 9.66 Jackson

That was one of the best races of the WC

I guess the whereabouts suspension isn't enough to keep runners away. You would think a young runner with a ton of potential would distance themselves from stuff like that.

Regardless, that's a great opener.

Don’t cast aspersions without giving some context to your comments.

If it is in reference to the time, you do realize that it has been many years since Steiner has run an open 400. The time isn’t a surprise and she’s capable of better.
