Jamaican women take all the medals in the 100m.
How is it possible that a small nation has 3 women faster than all the women in the rest of the world??
To my mind, it's PEDs.
Elaine Thompson is running much faster now at age 29 than she did in her early and mid-20s. Her passport photo shows her wearing braces - a sure sign of PED use.
Sheila Ann Fraser Pryce is 34 years old, and running 10.7s
Shericka Jackson is a 400m runner, and now takes bronze in the 100m.
4th place went to Ta Lou of the Ivory Coast - a 32 year old.
As far as I'm concerned, they're all cheaters. If they could be caught that would move Del Ponte up from 5th to 1st.
Her time of 10.97 is a legitimate, believable fast time. Not like these 10.6s and 10.7s of the Jamaican medalists.
Yes your probably right jacknyc. Jamaica like a few other nations seems to always get a free pass for some reason. This has happened with America and
England in the past. Certain countries are just allowed to cheat more with WADA. Why is that? Look what they did to Russia? Even the african nations in
the long distance events have been caught many times but not punished in the same way. A cheat is a cheat. Don't give certain people special chances when
they punish the rest of the world. Maybe we are wrong. Maybe if we all ate those yams we could all run like the wind. What's in those YAMS? Lmao.
Very happy for Del Ponte. To finish 5th in the world against the worlds fastest women is amazing. She has nothing to be ashamed about. Also like you said if
they caught a few more possibly dirty sprinters she would have a medal at the least. I'm still very proud of her. Amazing perfomance. Two sub 11's at the Olympics
is no easy task running 3 races in two days. Congrats for making the Swiss very proud!
So pumped and happy about Browning and Tortu. I had a feeling Filippo Tortu would be ready. Let's hope both him and Browning are just getting warmed up.
Yes Mastermulti Rohan Browing might as well be the King of the World at the moment. So smart and incredibly fast. A 10.01 out of lane 1 is even more insane!
