She dropped out of the gateshead race and supposedly isn't running until the Olympics. Is she dodging Sha'carri, has hear Achilles injury flared back up, or is it somthing else.

Sorry I should have put Thompson-Herah.
She scary
Lol at the reigning Olympic Champ being afraid of someone who has won nothing.
It's probably the achilles but there may be no reason whatsoever, her coach is known to pull funny moves.
She's down to compete over 100m against all the same names except Asher-Smith in Doha on 28th May. At the very least she'll need to compete at Jamaica's Olympic trials to actually get to Tokyo.

I think her being injured is more likely, but Sha'carri is definitely in much better shape and might win by a large margin if the ran now, which would only give her confidence.
Alot of Jamaican coaches tend to prevent big clashes before the games probably for the reason I just said.
Also she might not be competing at all internationally until the Olympics.
Smart.
She knows what she can do, and she knows what she needs to do.
That is why she wins.
But SR is super-hot this year, a real wrench thrown in the gears. I don't think anybody saw this coming so seriously.
She's lost before. I remember a huge loss to Schippers in I think Oslo back in 2016. Didn't stop Thompson beating her in Rio.
SAFP has never gone a season without losing prior to the major championship, yet has won more titles than any other female sprinter in history. She'll in this race and definitely won't be in 10.7 shape, so a loss is expected.
I think you're reading too much into it.
