USA Women's 200m

I think you mean wind aided 10.87 for Richards and sub-11 100m speed for Duncan.

And how about 21:15 for Solomon?

I hear a lot of talk about the 100m, the mile and the hurdles, etc., but statistically the women’s 200m is by far the most competitive event. To put it bluntly, in the history of the US Olympic trials, to the best of my knowledge, there has never been an event were the top 4 ranked women (-or men) in the world will line up. Assuming Richards and Jeter will contest the 200m, but as it stands right now, making the USOT will be harder than winning an Olympic medal. And, I am not even mentioning Shalonda Solomon who ran 22.15 just last year and several other U.S. women who have run sub-22.5.

*Sanya Richards ran 22.09 a week ago into a slight head wind, ran a wind aided 10.87 100m early in the year and a 49.3 400m last week.

*Kimberlyn Duncan ran a windy 22.19, after running rounds in several events at the NCAA meet and has sub-11 (100m) speed.

*Alyson Felix ran 22.23 a week ago, has a 21.81 PR from almost 4 years ago and ran a 10.92 100m PR this year and has won the 200m at numerous big meets.

*Carmelita Jeter has run 22.31 this year, ran 22.20 last year and is the fastest women in the world over 100m.

There have been some incredibly competitive fields in the US Olympics trials before. For instance in the 1956 Men 100m all 3 qualifiers equaled the world record (Ira Murchison, W. Thane Baker, Bobby Jo Morrow). In 1912 the US team took 8 our of the top 10 places in the pole vault in the Olympics.

Felix a steroid queen, while being tested every week??

What nobody cares about is the distance jogging crap >1500m. Go to Drake or Mt. Sac and count all 10 people in the stands to watching SC/5L/10K.

re: "Felix a steroid queen"

Are you really a coach or an antisocial, pimple faced teenaged jerk off who loves the cyberworld because people in the real world no one even notices you.

Do you have any idea what it means to call someone a drug cheat, to say they are a fraud, liar and a thief? Don't you think at least a minimum amount of proof is necessary before you make that type of accusation? What kind of person are you and the other ones like you who are so quick to put that label on someone with nothing but a few keystrokes. Please share with us what information you have to suggest Alyson Felix is on steroids?
