Top 3 for the Women 100M at Paris Olympics: Jamaica Gold and Bronze

ETH is always back on her drugs during the Olympic years, I expect nothing less.

All the top “train” the same way. It will be a level playing field.

If ETH will be healthy, I give her the edge over Jackson. She’s sharper and attacks more, imo along with FloJo she is clearly faster than anyone else in 100m history.

SCR has shown that she can be faster than I thought. I was honestly surprised…but I still don’t think she rises to ETH’s level in the 100.

No love for SAFP this year?

My money is on Shericka. SCR got lucky to pip her at the line from the outside lane. I don’t know about ETH health, but if she’s in top form, then she beats SCR too.

Last season, in almost all their races, Sha'carri did to Shericka what she did in the Worlds 100M final- i.e. run her down. It wasn't luck.

I don't see SCR winning gold at the Olympics. I've predicted her performances since her bust, assuming the Marijuana was a front for a real PED and she reached a plea deal. Just very suspicious circumstances all around. From the early comeback times when she was clean (closer to 11 flat) to the world beating form once again and better than ever. Her bam last time will serve as a reminder to her not to cross a line around the Olympics. Therefore ETH will win the 100 and Shacarri no medal in the 100 or 200. She'll probably nab one on the relay if she's not banned for "marijuana" again.

Best believe shacarri will be juiced to the gills too

As a teenager, Sha'carri's PB was 10.7+. I do not believe she was juicing then, nor do I believe she is juicing now. Further, had she not been distracted by SM BS, I am convinced she would have already been running 10.6 low and 10.5s consistently on her way to breaking the 100M WR. Sha'carri is one in a generational talent and what has been apparent to others is just now being evidenced.

SAFP performance at damn near 50 years old is what you should be focusing on, if you are talking about anyone juicing.

Marion Jones was juicing in her teens too.

True, you can’t call it luck. Sha’carri beat Shericka in both of their DL 100m races prior to Budapest last year. More significantly, she ran 10.65 in Budapest, which ties Jackson’s PB (with a wind disadvantage), and Jackson’s 2nd fastest ever is 10.70. Sha’carri won that gold because she ran exceptionally fast when it mattered most.

Agreed. Now that she has hit 10.6 mark, I'm interested to see if she runs 10.6s consistently and throw in 10.5s here and there. I have always thought that she and ETH were the two with the potential to break the W100M record.

Dude, stop. You know for a fact you are lying.

Given Elaine Thompson-Hera's strong start and her high speed throughout the race, the winning factor is expected to be early on, leaving Shakarri Richardson with little chance of dominance unless she can provide competition at the start and remain level with Elaine.

It’s not coming from nowhere. Jones missed a scheduled out of competition test in high school and was banned for 4 years, but she was defended by attorney Johnnie Cochran of O.J. Simpson fame and the ban was overturned. Given her subsequent 4 year absence from the sport to play college basketball before suddenly returning as a world-beater, and her admission to doping during her Olympic prime, it’s not unreasonable to believe she was in fact using PEDs in high school.

That’s Marion Jones, though. I don’t know if Sha’carri is using anything, but I’m sure the “marijuana cover-up” is a cockamamie conspiracy theory.

I just know the history and you obviously don't. Either that or you're just exceedingly naive.
