Lovely
Base on what I saw on the weekend, ET is going to hard to beat … ET looked far better than Shelly in the 100m.
Elaine Thompson-Herah would win any head-to-heard clash between she and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce right now.
Well done ladies both won your heats
Heats only? When are the finals?
Well done ladies fantastic job
Looking good for Monaco. 😍👏🏼🇯🇲
Well done ladies! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 😎
You go Elaine well done
They didn’t run in the same race so how she win ahead of Shelly? Her time is faster but the caption wrong!!
Judaine Bailey I hope so… she just hasn’t shown much promise over the past like 3 years… and even when she won in London 2017 which was her last big win over a B+ class field… it was 22+… I really hope she finds her top form because she is exciting to watch.
Slim Dee Spencer It’s so funny that in your name calling you still haven’t mentioned the winner.
Good stuff Elaine! 👏🏿
Good run
