Dafne Schippers is the most important white sprinter since Jeremy Wariner. I want to compare their monumental achievements and Dafne has a little bit of a way to go to match Jeremy but she has certainly bolstered her resume after her performances at this years World Championships. I should do some research but I could have sworn they used to give out an Olympic award for most outstanding athlete and I wonder if they also award that title at the World Championships (WC). If so, Dafne should be in the running.

Jeremy has a suitcase of Gold medals from the Olympics to the WC. For comparison purposes I will not tally the many medals he won as a member of the 4 x 400M relay team.
Wariner:
-2004 Olympics--400m Gold
-2008 Olympics--400M Bronze
-2005 WC--400M Gold
-2007 WC--400M Gold
-2009 WC--400M Silver
That folks is an IMPRESSIVE RESUME.
Schippers:
-2016 Olympics--200M --Silver
-2013 WC Heptathlon--Bronze
-2015 WC--100M --Silver
-2015 WC 200M--Gold
-2017 WC 100M --Bronze
-2017 WC 200M--Gold
That folks is PRETTY DAMN GOOD.
It will be interesting to see if Dafne can maintain her high level until the next WC in 2019. It is a stretch to think she will be in prime form by the next Olympics but whatever happens going forward she has made her mark big time.
The next point of business is the reaction of the black supremacist groups on what has happened at the WC sprint events where Ramil Guliyev won the Gold in the 200M and Schippers nabbed her 100M Bronze and 200M Gold.
Keep in mind authors like Jon Entine and David Epstein, author of "The Sports Gene" a book that is more "politically correct" than Entine's book but essentially says the same thing that blacks are superior in the speed events etc.., also have a lot of sports writers and sociologists when reviewing the books who in various ways agreed with the two author's main premise regarding the differences between black and white athletes.
In no way am I suggesting that the results from these WC and last year's Olympics provided enough evidence to change many people's minds on the subject but at the very least would it not cause a certain pause and reflection and perhaps a recalculation?
Steve Sailer has not written a book on the subject but he also has been out front about blacks being superior run/jump athletes but in Sailer's case he has shown more flexibility on the subject.
I know it is early but the silence so far has been deafening. Epstein quickly dropped sports discussion to focus on the events in Virginia Saturday. Entine and Sailer have to the best of my knowledge been mute up to this point. But I want to get back to Epstein a "respected" former Sports Illustrated writer and lecturer. It is rather noticeable when media sports people postulate on the supremacy of run/jump black athletes, even when it is couched in ways that "soften the blow" that a certain animosity towards white people is as clear as day. The taste left in the mouth is a decided attempt to make white people feel smaller and inferior.
When Jon Entine's book came out a New York Times reviewer wondered what exactly was the endgame of his book other than creating a greater gulf between the races?
As I witness some of these great white athletes from foreign countries perform so well it reminds me how the American system has murdered the concept of a fast high flying white athlete which starts at a very early age with conditioning ,slotting and a whole sort of other barriers that prevent American whites from reaching their athletic potential.
