"Love her or hate her, look at all the buzz she generates."
As wired as SCR is, I'd bet there is an electrical buzz around her, even when she's sitting still, which may be never.
The W100 final will be sick, but she'll probably have to face a Jamaican or two in the semis, that could make for some interesting theatre also. Some side-eye or looking around throttling back at the finish to show some dominance, could be spectacular. And with the whole throw off of the wig, there has to be some more accessories drama in Budapest.
Voice of reason. Nothing better than a redemption story and she has plenty of time to earn the respect some on here believes she deserves just for being fast. Noah is a great example of a black man, who has plenty of personality , performs with confidence and flamboyance yet he is respected and admired by most. Shatters the narrative put forth by the Sha'Carri fan club. Two things Noah has done that Sha'Carri hasnt: performed big on the international stage and treats others with respect.
Love her or hate her, look at all the buzz she generates. It’s her still untapped talent, her charisma, her craziness, her vulnerability, her honesty, her bs, her outlandishness. She’s amazing and a hot mess at the same time, and it’s pretty compelling entertainment. On this distance website how many threads and posts are devoted to her? It dwarfs anything else happening at nationals right now. I think it’s fair to predict that the women’s 100 final in Budapest is going to be the most hyped and watched event of the meet. SCR is good for the sport and I’m rooting for her to triumph.
Same here! The more people on letsrun whine about her, the more I want her to win! I hope she does something like ripping off her wig at worlds too! She takes selfies with fans and signs autographs immediately after winning, how cool is that?
ScR thinks track needs characters. unfortunately, with track as WWE, she is correct.
For my part, I ignore her “character” as much as possible—I don’t watch or read interviews, I don’t do social media, and I ignore nails, makeup, and wigs.
If she gets too far out of line again, they will shut her down—and she knows it. She’s trying, but I think her thinly-veiled and strained self-control will win out.
She’s pissed, by nature, and that’s fine…but she relies on institutions for her place in the world. She’s a square peg in a round hole, the polar opposite of a company man like Felix was. Ultimately, it won’t end amicably.
If she plans to permanently ditch the wig and especially the long fingernails, I could easily become a big fan of hers. She looked like a real athlete today, instead of a freak show.
Her personality doesn't bother me in the slightest, as I find her ramblings much less annoying than the constant God talk we get from most of the other sprinters.
Agree. she sounded like Muhammad Ali with all that swagger. I dont follow sprinting like I do mid-D and D, so I took notice. She was the only person who said anything that was an iota different than the standard "I just trusted God, and blah blah blah."
For making the post-press conference interesting, I at least give her that
Oh I'm totally a hater. Anyone dumb enough to be coached by Dennis Mitchell and keep company with Justin Gatlin deserves to fail and be rooted against.
I love how the same people who downvote this are the same people who upvote that Addy Wiley should not be at Huntington.
You white people are such self-loathers. We don’t have this in my part of the world.

Whatever part of the world that is, make sure you stay there.
