She is the future.
YEAAAH!!! Another MZUNGU victory for a blonde girl!! Yeah, Schippers is hot, tall, strong, mega-fast. I don't even like blonde girls usually but she is an exception.
She certainly executed that race to perfection.
Ta Lou is awesome though.
A groovy chick.
See you in Amsterdam, baby. Let's get funky.

I hate the overuse of the phrase "execute" when talking about races. I get it, you want to say that was how you planned it, but isn't the plan, at least in sprints, always just to run as fast as you can?
I was very happy for her. She's been one of my favorites since she made the switch to sprints.
However it did seem like Schippers took advantage of circumstance. Not long ago that race was stacked with Felix and Thompson and Bowie types. She didn't have to face any of them.
I also think Miller-Uibo had some lingering issues from the 400. Not as much physical as mental. If she had won that 400 it would have been a massive dose of confidence and no doubt carried over to the 200. Instead she had to be stunned and mostly ran like it today until waking up when it was too late.
To the gills!!!!

For the 60 - yes. For the 100 and 200, different energy systems are involved.

No. You want to stay focused in the blocks by barely contained, then you want to take a good first step to set up the drive phase. Then you want to push through the drive phrase correctly, then you need to maintain good form in the max v phase and into the slowdown through the line.
That is for the 100. In the 200, you want to modify it slightly, because you can't run at 100% or you'll finish poorly.
The 400 obviously takes even more determined pacing.
Googling photos of her from 2009 she lacks the mass she has now. Looks puny comparatively Also the acne profusion on neck and shoulders is not the same kind of acne that my teen has. Don't get me wrong I like her but something just is not right.
She big Viking women, will savage village with explosive PED blood sample.
Any chance she is interested like Semenya, Wambui and so on? Or is that only black Africans? She looks as masculine as they do.
You must be gay boy, because there's no way that manly looking person can be described as gorgeous.Same category as Semenya.
Unless you are of course stating that he/she is a gorgeous man...

Starting at her nose and going up she is pretty. Looking at her jaw and going down she is looks like a ripped dude.
Definitely an impressive performance. My favorite for the 2019 champs and 2020 Olympics. Hopefully she can break the world record along the way.
One of my absolute favorite runners right now. Wow! Kids in my neighborhood are loving her.
Here are the medals in the sprints from 100 to 400 M and W (18 total)
All of white Europe and white America combined: M 1g 0s 0b (1); W 1g 0s 1 b (2)
That is a total 3 medals out of 18,16% in a competition on European soil where
the cold,wet conditions favor the white European and this is their best
performance in decades.This just illustrates how far superior the African descents are.
And we know who are going to sweep the relays,so I will be generous and not even
include them.

Unfortunately for you, blacks entered 99% of the people in sprints. Whites didn't care about it too much, but anyway they easily beat the blacks when they wanted to. For example, out of all the white guys entered, they pretty much all made the semi finals in the 200. Also, I noticed you conveniently left out the 110 and 400 hurdles. We know why...
