Does ESPN International or ESPN 2 cover any of the exceptional one-day meets in Jamaica? Asking for a friend.
I can’t wait to watch VCB run also
Elaine ??????
Aaah. Have been waiting for Elaine to start her season. Wishing her all the very best. Run on Elaine.
Will be good to see Elaine and others start their season.
Asafa should get another sub 10 here especially going up against Justin Gatlin and Yohan Blake…should also be a real test for Blake .
Also Briana against Blessing and company should do well for the younger.
Great Field overall and I look forward
Interesting what the line-ups will look like. Blake vs Asafa vs Hughes vs Galtin … And somehow I am thinking this will be Gayle’s first 100m.
Briana vs Elaine vs Blessing
I can’t wait to watch
Turning out to be an Olympic Games warm-up. Some of the biggest names every to run in one place at the same time
Its a Good Look
