Official Olympics Day 2 pm live discussion thread: Who is the fastest woman in the world? + Live Reaction show at 7 pm ET

Jamaica is gonna go from sweeping to not winning a single medal at this point

Part of me hopes because of this Ta Lou can finally get onto an Olympic podium tonight

And looked liked she had her kit on. Injured in the warm up maybe. Or injured and tried warming up and couldn’t go?

She looked really good in the heats too!

Richardson almost crying on the start line.

Alfred please save us all

Apparently the organizers randonmly changed the entry rules without telling the athletes so athletes living outside of the village had to use a different entrance then they had been previously. Sha'carri and SAFP were both seen stuck outaide the warmup area.

Sha'Carri eventually got in, but Perhaps SAFP got screwed!? I really hope not

Wow slow start for Shacarri. Good recovery to qualify. Alfred looked strong

I thought I was the only person who noticed that. I've never seen her this nervous before, ever

Wow and she might. That was insanely impressive. I wonder if that was her best effort of the night though - we've seen it before from sprinters in the semis>finals. Wow.

I love Sha’Carri!

Alfred is a beast!!!

U never know- Sha’Carri often runs semi trash before the final but hits it on the big one.

Will be a great final altho SAFP will be missed <3

She looks like she’s doing the Seville we will see. That first heat lucked out and will be very fresh.

Did I hear that right? Van der Weken of Luxembourg is a 17-time national champ? She’s only 24, meaning she’s won the 100 and 200 every year since she was 16?

People are sleeping on Julian Alfred. It’s Sha’Carri’s to lose, but if she starts like that again in the final then Alfred is going to win gold. Alfred looked like she has a 10.7 in her at the very least

Maybe counting indoor wins as well?

Yeah, rumor right now is that neither was able to warm up. I guess SAFP pulled and Sha'carri didn't. Would make sense why she was so nervous.

10.45 in the final

Ah indoor would make it more feasible. Still an insane stat.

Nobody's sleeping on her. She's #2 in the world.
