Alright! Back on the juice, baby!
Shady Anne Braces Price back on it too. Maybe the heat is now off them for a bit.
Elaine is now wearing braces. They are from the same Training Club.
They have the last 3 Olympic 100m gold medals.
For the record they are all on “stuff”.

All but Wint at USA schools.
Dennis Johnson. Lennox Miller, Don Quarrie, Ray Stewart came later. all made an impact. All at USA schools.
I don't buy the island can't produce clean stud sprinters.

Haha sounds like you are all jealous. None of these accusations ever came out when Bowie, Bartoletta and Gardner all ran 10.7 at the Olympic trials in 2016.
What a race!
Right back to the good old days.
This was insane. How about Brianna Williams...I have commented about here on here before, but this was really excellent--look at how she ran, look at her body carriage, look at her foot strike, look at her knee action. She was even disciplined on the start and early acceleration, although I see some room for improvement, she didn't do anything bad. One thing, it looked to me like in the 2nd half of the race she was pulling through forwards with her arms and trying to reach with her legs, rather than driving the hands downward and the arms backward, and driving the foot to the ground, something that SAFP does so well throughout the 2nd half.
All she seemed to be lacking was some turnover at speed--and I use the word "lacking" but really, her turnover was good. Improve that a bit, and she's 10.8, which is phenomenal. Maybe she's in some sort of training block where her turnover suffers, and it will be better later in the season. Whatever...great showing by her.
SAFP looked like she fell apart slightly right before the finish, which was why it looked like ET stormed past her. Again, whatever...it's mid-June, and the WC aren't until September! I don't know if they're double-peaking or not, because there certainly is enough time to do so, but if not, and SAFP's SE improves at all, we're looking at 10.6.
ET, I think she was maxxed. Her mechanic on her first 4 steps was inferior as usual, but she was "close enough". I think ET has some sort of neural governor--i.e. give her someone to chase who she can catch, and she goes 10.73, where she would normally go slower if she wasn't chasing anyone. This seemed to me to have been the perfect race for her--she didn't seem to show any weakness, she held her form perfectly, she was disciplined in her drive phase, her contact time was minimal, and she was in the perfect pocket behind SAFP. IF she could ever clean up those first 4 strides, she's also 10.6.
"By the flare of a nostril."
Imperious!
Great race, it was like they were fighting for their lives. Best race I have seen in a long, long time.
Thompson seems strangely unmoved. Williams seems finally satisfied.

Usually when something is "for the record" some evidence is cited to back it up. Not some douchebag opinion.
While I don’t enjoy Boldon as a commentator, I do think that he could make an excellent coach.
He’s not a jerk or a-hole, I think he’s patient and listens, and I think he knows as much technically as anyone. I also think that he would do everything possible to keep his athletes clean. They seem to make a good combination, congrats to both of them.
She should be happy with this one, bronze in that time behind only 2 of history’s best-ever—I’d take it! This is a huge achievement.

Nope, just realistic.
Hmmm, I don't trust Jamaican timing.

Lol that’s exactly what Jamaicans said about the NCAA timing this year

I don't think anyone believe Jamaicans need dope to run fast, but people were already skeptical of Elaine and Shelly and what they did yesterday just adds to the suspicion. Two athletes in the same race, running some of the fastest times in history only a couple months removed from injury and maternity. It is a shame that we can’t ‘simply applaud’ great performances, but knowing history, there is no way a reasonable person is going to ‘simply applaud’ performances that clearly look like a duck. Jamaica has a conglomeration of statistical T&F anomalies that have only occurred with the Chinese women in the mid-90s, the Eastern European women in the 70s and 80s and now the Jamaicans in the 2000s.
