Update: I caught the Zürich rewind. She might have gone 10.3 in that final 100 to catch Shericka Jackson.Last edited by CookyMonzta; 09-11-2021, 03:37 AM.

One factor was probably that this was the first year the DL final was over a month after the end of the Global Championships in the same year, therefore a longer extension of the season.
2011 - Daegu ended Sep 4th (Zurich, Sep 8th + Brussels, Sep 16th)
2012 - London ended Aug 12th (Zurich, Aug 30th + Brussels, Sep 7th)
2013 - Moscow ended Aug 18th (Zurich, Aug 29th + Brussels Sep 6th)
2015 - Beijing ended Aug 30th (Zurich, Sep 3rd + Brussels, Sep 11th)
2016 - Rio ended Aug 21(Zurich, Sep 1st + Brussels, Sep 9th)
2017 - London ended Aug 13th (Zurich, Aug 24th + Brussels, Sep 1st)
2019 - Doha started Sep 27th (Zurich, Aug 29th + Brussels Sep 6th)
2021 - Tokyo ended Aug 8 (Zurich, Sep 9th)
So even in 2019 with worlds in October, it was still closer to the DL final than this year was. (Note Brussels was not a DL final this year). And with an early World's next year, probably an excuse to just shut things down.

Also its important to highlight Little at 20 considering McLaughlin and Bol are around that age. Though I wouldn't bet against them dominating the next few years, but we also cant hand out medals and career accolades before they actually earn them.

Originally posted by 18.99s View PostYears before Blake's 19.26, he ran 10.11 as a 17 year old and 10.33 as a 16 year old. His progression to 19.26 had many years of hard training and quality times along the way. Nothing like Mboma coming out of nowhere at age 18.
And they both were over 20 years old with more than 5 years of serious training under their belts at that point. Not teenagers with one year of serious training.
you raise great points about the years of hard work. However, I will always remain skeptical about a 20.60 leap to 19.26. Call me crazy. I am just wired that way. But i like your thought process.

Very harsh, Little moved up to 5th all-time this year, she just had a poor race at the trials. Her chances of success over the 400 flat aren’t greater than her chances over the hurdles
