Why is Gabby Thomas so inconsistent?

Wasn’t able to dodge the testers this week

Yes. She is tires from actually answering the door this week.

Her world lead was 21.60, bro.

This probably just strengthens your point though and I have no answer. It truly is baffling.

Lotta American sprinters run fast domestically but are mid in Europe

Gabby Thomas is the most obvious doper in the world.

12 days ago she ran 21.60 INTO A HEADWIND.

Today she ran 22.67 WITH A TAILWIND.

More than 1 second difference. Imagine how people would have freaked out if Bolt ran 20.19 and got 7th place in a Diamond league race less than 2 weeks after running 19.19

It must be a psychological thing because her body is virtually the same as a couple of weeks ago (unless she is physically sick)

But she’s beauty and brains and such a classy athlete and all, say 78% of YouTube comments.

Her body is different

Yeah, could be. I didn't think that one out.

could just be the result of a training block for worlds + travel. i didn’t really understand how much a training block affects performance until i did sprints in college. i don’t know too much about doping but i don’t think stopping doping now would result in such a drop.

hard to seeing her win WC. Thomas was smashed.

You guys are thinking of Fred Kerley.

Unlike Sage Hurta.

Ooooh. Good one. Novel.

Where or why? Lol.

Watch what she said at the Thursday presser. The host was attempting to prod Shericka and Gabby into saying they would pursue a world leading time in Monaco. Shericka wanted no part of it, saying her focus was Budapest. Gabby agreed, and took it further by saying she arrived only a day earlier and was jet lagged.

I didn't expect much from Gabby based on her other point of emphasis during that response. She laughed and said she came to Monaco because, "Who doesn't want to be here?"

Syd did the presser 😬

Maybe it's time for Bobby to start letting her in on the true plan a little earlier so she can avoid these unfortunate media obligations.

Not a conclusive remark, but: yesterday she seemed more agitated than her competitors at the start due to the long hold-up before getting into the blocks. That sort of anxiety/agitation throws off sprinters.

Jet lag. She arrived two days before her race. You cannot cross multiple time zones and run a race in such a short space of time and expect to do well.
