ShaCarri Chokes

When I saw there was rain I feared that would be her undoing. But, actually, she didn't look good in the prelims either. She was not at her best, but even at her best its not clear she could have beaten Alfred today.

Is there any truth to the story about a mix-up at the gate? If so, I can see her getting flustered and losing her focus (whereas someone like Bolt would have just shrugged it off).

4x1 gold would mean little to an all-about-me like SR. Still, she gets points for at least somewhat cleaning up her image in the last couple years.

Of course the posts will be moved. ShaCarri was THE face of the US Olympics. All I've heard all season is that she was a heavy favorite to win. Her silver is not a victory. It's a failure and follow that up with not showing up for the press conference: she's a sore loser too.

A silver medal in the Olympics is not a choke. Just another idiotic Letsrun thread!

FOH with that noise. I’m happy for her and I hope she can be ok with this in time. A couple of years ago, it was an open question whether she could come back. Silver is not too bad…

Not sure she would have beat Alfred anyway, but is there any possibility that she wasn't fully prepared due to the bs at the gate with her and Shelly Ann? Did she even get to warm up? I feel like this is a really under reported story.

An Olympic silver medal an embarrassing choke job and complete failure. Throw that participation trophy in the trash or pawn it for a vintage lava lamp. SR's entire life is a joke. I could have won that race if I identified as a woman.

This is maybe the most intelligent and thoughtful post I've ever read from rojo.

No way. Julien just had an interview and said her coach has had her train in the rain couple of times

watch the interview Julien came prepared

She's not back. She's not better.

But she missed the Olympic gold y’all were hyping her for. Swallow that. 😂😂😂

Being a home Olympics in 2028 doesn’t guarantee victory… other stars will have come up better.., she may not make the 100 team even … others will also be training to win

Can someone provide a link to explain whatever happened at the gate pre-race. It's been mentioned, but I don't know anything about it.

What’s wrong with hyping the reigning world champion as a contender for gold?

I didn’t make any guarantees about LA. I said there’s a good chance she’ll be there.

This article has info. SAFP and SCR were denied entry, but the reason cited by the head of the Jamaican team for SAFP’s withdrawal was injury.

Dumb comment.

Winning silver in your Olympics is a great accomplishment.

She did amazing for her first Olympics

This is a dumb comment
