Non-DL London: W 100m

Re: Non-DL London: W 100m

To be fair to Jeter what more, can she do to announce more loudly that she is currently the favourite and best for this season (and coing off last season) going into daegu? (and I am a SAF and VCB fan)

Re: Non-DL London: W 100m

I have to laugh at all the excuse-making going on. Jeter has proven herself THIS YEAR to be the favorite. I'm not saying she will win in Daegu (upsets happen all the time), but she has earned the title of favorite this season and you HAVE to give her props for that. :twisted:

Am still picking Fraser for the win

Either Fraser or VC is good for me. Jeter have bronze written all over her face

Given how much ground Fraser gave up over the last 60 meters (0.30 or so), she is in danger of not making the final if she has a bobble with the start, and she has had a start issue this year if I recall correctly. I do not think it is going to happen, but unless she is quite improved rather than dropping off of this effort she will not be a factor.

Wait don't T+T still have their trials in like a week or two? Are the trinidad athletes going to be running there (Baptist, Thompson, Bledman) or are they doing that Boycott thing the Bolden suggested? Did I miss something.

If they do run will they be at a disadvantage because of being tired?

The local news said that Kelly-Ann is running next weekend... The link is now on the home page... Not sure about Thompson or Bledman, or whether they have to compete in the champs to make the team..I'm also not sure who's doubling, but there are no semi's, which helps a little since there are only 2 total rounds... The 100 prelims and final are on day one while the 200 prelims and final are on day 2. (assuming the new track is ready...)

I think this was a DL event as CJ has 14 points. As far as i can see CJ has 3 weeks to
train/rest

Re: Non-DL London: W 100m

KAB was NOT making up time in the last 30m on Jeter. The appearance is due to the angle of the camera. In the Universal video now on the front page the video from the inside shows her possibly even ahead of Jeter mid-race and shows that she is not closing except for possibly the lean in the last stride.

Exactly...and if one watched the race, KAB and SAF-P got a better start that CJ...she had to go get them...and she did...

Re: Non-DL London: W 100m

Could it be that barring any error in Jeter's start over the weekend, Shelly now has her measure and is not letting her know?
Could it be that Shelly Ann as it is, is now in great Jeter, Baptiste and Campbell beating shape?
Could it be that ShellyAnn having proven to herself that her umph is there was advised to lock it down thereafter by Franno?
Would it come as a surprise to any if Shelly Ann ends up winning in daegu.

I'm just asking...

The problem is that this 'explanation' does not fit the facts any better than that she is having a mediocre (for her) year (after starting off with promise); oh, where did I leave that razor....

I think these are valid questions which I feel may just be a good assessment of what went on

we have become so spoiled in that each time an athlete runs we expect them to produce...

Shelly has shown in previous years that performance on the circuit prior to a major isn't necessarily a true indicator of one's readiness.

just saying...

Re: Non-DL London: W 100m

I hope Veronica wins the 100, though I'mm more confident Jeter will. Shelly? BRONZE. <-- If that, Baptiste might nab bronze.
