No Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce?!WHAT THE WHAT

Yes

Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce

SAFP only needs to prove that the stopping of her at the gate left her with no time to properly warm up and this thing will really blow up

It's reported that both Sha'carri and SFP were refused entry, but somehow Sha'Carri made it in and ran her semi. Not sure why SFP didn't..?

She was denied entry

Thats

Unbelievable

Usually letsrun is RIFE with speculation instantly, and often even has some semi decent info before other places do. This thread doesn't seem like it's blowing up enough, what is the DEAL here?!?!

Did she really not run simply because she couldn't get in properly?!?!?!

Brojos / Gault what's going on here?

wtf

bump

Shytty

I'd rather actual professionals deal with this thing.

Lol

And lol all the JAM women’s sprint bs, which is EXACTLY what all this is.

Really funny to see them collapse like a house of cards!

The guys this year still suck all around, but we’ll see what happens. Maybe Simbine will have something to say.

WTH???

So embarrassing for Paris organization. To not allow a high profile athlete in because she didn’t come on the team bus?? Really embarrassing if true.

Unprobable. Why would she be the only one with that issue?

Don’t believe everything you hear or read.

The FACT is that the 3 JAM 100m stooges have all totally collapsed.

I wish it would happen to more teams.

This was my first reaction when I heard this and then saw the video from inside the bus but I just got some on-the-ground intel.

So SAFP is correct on one thing - the gate was open yesterday for both team buses and walk-in athletes and they changed it overnight because athletes that come from the village on the bus are obviously already security cleared and can go through on the bus en masse - obviously walk-in athletes can't (they need to have bags inspected etc). So makes perfect sense to do that as it's a pure time and efficiency aspect.

However I was told that this was communicated very clearly to team management /athletes - so in the instance SAFP didn't know this is 100% on the Jamaican team management not informing her. The final part of this? The "other gate" in question - 125m (400 feet) away. So not really a massive inconvenience her to walk maybe a total of 250m to get through security and right back to the place the bus would have taken you anyway. Obviously if the alternate gate was say 500m away some common sense/flexibility could have been applied purely for today ie. let athletes in but tell anyone that comes through very clearly that as of tomorrow it's closed. But I don't think this really was necessary with an alternative entry so close.

I was then told that this ended up holding up the athletes on the bus for 10-15min as SAFP unfolded the drama which of course involved her using the "you know who I am" card, calling for upper management of security to come sport it out etc etc - not great.

The words said to me were "talk about entitlement" and "the issue is they get told YES to everything".

To throw a tantrum that held other competing athletes up, be unable to walk 125m to get in (Sha'Carri did) and then drop out of the event leaving a lane open? Not a good look Shelly-Ann. I'm on the side of the LOC (Local Organizing Committee) here - they did nothing wrong.

Can Jamaica sue for loss of image revenue?
