Quick update, turns out that the social media hub about SAFP and Sha'Carri being denied entry to the track was not as big a deal as some made it out to be. As we speculated on the podcast last night, they entered the track from another gate. Unfortunately, SAFP suffered an injury during warm-up.
Jamaica chef de mission Ian Kelly told the BBC, “Mrs Fraser-Pryce was allowed to enter the warm-up track but from another gate from which she was directed to enter from. There is no truth that she was not allowed to enter the stadium. Unfortunately she was not able to compete due to an injury sustained during her final warm-up."
SAFP issued a statement on social media that among other things said, “It is difficult for me to find the words to describe the depth of my disappointment."
