and we have class 1 girls doing 11… what’s the actual point of this article….
Can’t believe none of you Americans have even mentioned 23 year old WORLD CHAMPION Asher-Smith. But then again, America is all that exists in America…
Won’t be long before they all get caught with drugs just like the men
Excellent going for gold 400 and 100🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
Wow
No Wow is the 17 yo Tamari Davis keeping up with her.
Good for her but shelly a the queen 🇯🇲🖤
Thank you very much. Shelly is the Queen
Fraser-Pryce ran 11.00 in a headwind💁♂️
Tajay Miller don’t compare no 100m woman runner to her. That’s a LIGHT run to her.
Antonio Oliver the original post did
We are in trouble
Sharon Bartlett No we are not
What trouble🤣
SMU Bravo just do what you do best run the 400m if you mess with the 100m you will leave the Olympics empty handed
As a fellow Jamaican I am forced to say that if this Bahamian girl focuses on the 100 & 200… she will surely dominate. Neither Shellyan nor Thompson can touch her. Real talk.
Yes as i T&F fan i love Price but Uibo is rounding into a youger version of Price with 3 options 100 200 &400
SMU is gifted. Look at her built. She’s somewhat akin to Usain Bolt, the female version. She’s very versatile, and has been from since a young age.
Whatever. . Jamaican to d world
It’s not a big deal if she dips below ten seconds…
When the time is right she will be blown away by the Jamaicans in the sprints events..💁♂️
Xavier Robinson she join Felix sub 11, sub 22 and sub 50
In the 100 sure, but Miller Uibo will blow away the Jamaicans in the 200m and 400m. Let’s be honest.
Nathaniel Manning lets see how the 200 plays off.
Yeah let’s see, but we already know what’s up
Trevon Salmon Felix is 49.26 @ 400. Shaunae joins Marie José-Pérec, Valerie Brisco-Hooks and Marita Koch
Dwayne Extol those sound like sub 49, I was referring to sub 50 which would include Felix
Xavier Robinson yeah she doesn’t want smoke in the 100 but honestly she’s probably the favorite in the 200
Xavier Robinson I think you made an err in your statement, but just Incase you didn’t. YES it would be a big deal if she dips below (ten) 10 seconds, considering the record is 10.49
As much as I would want to see Elaine back to top form, the only Jamaican I see challenging SMU in the 200m is Shericka Jackson… and history favours SMU over Jackson. The 2 have been racing each other since CARIFTA in the 200m and 400m, and Jackson has never beaten Miller-Uibo. I do hope I’m wrong about Elaine though.
I think Dina Asher-Smith deserves a mention here as current world champion 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Trevon Salmon got ya… the list is longer for sub-11,22 & 50. 😄
Dwayne Extol realized, lol
Xavier Robinson Exactly, or she will choked
Shamoi Jelani Richards Sherieka Jackson is in No way competition for Shaunae Miller !
I agree. She isnt.
No she wont. She has beaten both shelly and Thompson b4
Nathaniel Manning Shericka Jackson a come fi her thou💯
Shamoi Jelani Richards Shericka Jackson is a lioness, she a come good
Shawna Barnett we will see
Kayandra Benison Stalwart you are right, cause she won’t best her
If they could have,they would have. Real talk!
Running the 400 about to become the new model for excelling at the 100!
Marko Bartho exactly because bolt also did
U may be right on that one
I need to check these people like Marion Jones
Doping!
Anne Masika get a life
Garnet Thompson or you could just say you don’t think she is doping. Her PB dropped dramatically 100 is not her event. Doping is also a hot issue right now with bans left right and centre. You could say there are other things that could explain this. And then as two sports fans we could have had a nice conversation. But you immediately went for a personal and very abbrassive statement. What you put out into the world comes back to you. Why are you like this? Sending hugs if it will help.
Well I’m a Bahamian and we don’t cheat
Garnet Thompson I understand I feel protective of my east african athletes as well. Shows you are a true fan and patriot. Many athletes are dropping massive PBs. Other reasons could be the new shoes as in carbon plates or they are very well rested due to covid. Anyway wish you all the best as finally season is back on. Will now cheer for bahamas in the sprints.
Anne Masika actually when Miller-Ubo started her athletics career as a teen her specialty was the 100m and 200m. She is a very versatile athlete as she is also very good at high jump and long jump. She competed in a high jump competition as recently as last year.
Karan Mader she has been so focused on 400 dropping to 200 we think of her as a 400/200 athlete. But thats a huge pb drop right there? Better training?
Anne Masika I understand. Better training is a possibility. But remember even tho she does not run the 100 she still does speed training. But lets see what happens moving forward.
Anne Masika Miller-Uibo has ran 48 for 400m and 21.7 for 200m 100m is easy for her if she continues she will rock all 3 events, she’s a real talent from carifta days. Study the sports some more #TeamJamaica #teamCaribbean
You probably don’t have a clue that her work ethics is unlike no one else in track and field. She never stop training.
Trevon Salmon no just make your case. Sports is for everyone even those who have not “studied the sport some more”. See above positive and educative comments. #gettingridofsocialmedianegativity.
Wayne G Beckford No I don’t have a clue. Why do think her PB has dropped so much? Let’s enrich our sports knowledge. That’s why we are here
Anne Masika . I think her pb was like 11.1s so its not dramatic plus the track ,weather ,and wind were great for running.
Anne Masika well my comment was more like educating u
Anne Masika , propaganda
Wayne G Beckford it was 11.19 in 100m thats an impressive drop. My second differential is well rested muscles and relaxation post covid. If someone could do a study on this then we could argue that modern athletic seasons are too punishing for our athletes. Bolt for example competef very frugally. Should we rest our athletes more?
U started the negative comment
Trevon Salmon doping is a possibility it is not a negative comment. It is something we need to discuss in the sports world. The number of bans has increased by 33% in the last 4 months. Athletes who are droping great times are receiving whereabouts sanctions. So its a great conversational point.
Anne Masika . 11.19 is not an impressive drop to 10.98.
Anne Masika so y u couldn’t say talent and hard work of course ur comment is negative, u have no such proof of her doping
Wayne G Beckford race time predictor scores weighted for age previous perfomance put this as a 30% improvement in 100m. She has done well. This is not a small thing.
Trevon Salmon that is why we are having a conversation. We are discussing massive pb drops recently. What do you think has changed in her training?
Anne Masika that pb is not really massive 10.98 can’t get her in a final, it’s work in progress she will go 10.7 if she continues
Anne. You’d have a point if Miller Uibo had run 11.19 peak season last year. This personal best dates back THREE YEARS. Is it not conceivable to attribute her gains to increase in strength level, technique improvement, increased range of motion than to invoke doping?
Anne Masika . 10.98 is an improvement but don’t look for her to run the 100m or continue beat sone of of the 100m ladies who were in the race and are just about 80% ready or less. SMU almost never stop training and is always ahead. I cant wait to see what she has for the 200m and the 400m and wish the Bahamas had 3 more decent 400m runners for a 4 x 400 team.
Trevon Salmon Doha joneille Smith had 11.04 and she wasnt even the slowest going into the finals
Beautiful
