Pathetic to do this and admit it here, but google says she's not single, may even be "secretly" (why?) married, and that she dated LeBron James back in '03?

She had a thing with Kenneth Ferguson(400mh HSR holder) back in the day, and it was rumored that she was dating Gatlin for a short while as well. She's definitely not married, but I'll be taking her off the market pretty soon anyway.

Ferguson yes, Gatlin no, Felix and Gatlin were just friends and I'm pretty sure she is not married. When she gets married, everyone will know about it, there is absolutely no reason why she would hide her marriage. She has a friendship with several high profile athletes including Kobe and Lebrone James. She is a multimillionaire, but no where near the top tennis players. She could probably double her income if she worked at it; she does almost nothing to brand and promote herself. Leading her name to some fitness products and a couple commercials would pay her more that track and field.

No it doesn't. She hardly use any equipment in that video that 1) isn't expensive and 2) you cand find almost anywhere.

Forgetting Kenya for a moment (I know its hard kiddo), its amazing how bad africans are at sprinting with those genes.

What are you talking about? Her sponsors include Acuvue (maker of contacts), Visa, at&t, and Proctor&Gamble. She has been in numerous commercials for all of the above.

Wayde van Niekirk, Akani Simbine, Ben Yousseff Meité, Murielle Ahoure, Marie-Josée Ta Lou, Blessing Okagbare, Isaac Makwala, Baboloki Thebe, just to mention the current crop. All eight have realistic podium chances. How is that bad?

They should show shots of her getting her shots...of "supplements" of course.

She doesn't dope. She's never been sanctioned.

Nah, their mother has those "blasian" features as well, and they may very well have a south east asian ancestor being they're from the west coast. However I'd be willing to bet they have more European ancestry than anything else

And a big bank, Citi, I think.

Seems like she should be faster. She ran 22.51 in high school and now, after having the best coaching and training in the world for a decade, has not improved that much.

Is a 21.69 PB not fast enough?

Sprinting is a simple discipline

You think the Jamaicans have some special facilities that Kenya can't get

Yes.

Not particularly good. 400mh is not in, its perhaps on par with 400m, maybe slightly better. At least for men.

Yes, Citi:

Everything in that video could easily be modified and done in Eldoret or Iten (presumably Nairobi also). Track, gym, medicine balls, weights - all there.The sled and boxes could be easily constructed. The big medicine balls from the start might be the trickiest.Facilities aren't the biggest problem for Kenyan sprinters. Lack of sprinting culture and knowledge are the problem in my opinion. Lack of culture will push people to middle distance or other sports. The men especially look to spend too much time building their upper body. The mechanics they use and drills they do seem a bit exaggerated and probably detract from the fundamentals rather than complement them.

Now, do the same thing with Jamaican males before by taking the all time list before 2004 (with the arrival of Asafa powell), and you would say that Jamaicans have terrible genetics for 100m sprinting.

No, I would not have said that.

I could live in her rear it's so beautiful.

It helps to have a skinny upper body as well!
