    She looks pretty good to me. I don't remember her being this big last year. It's like she's put on more strength and seems to have a better start than last year (although haven't seen the elite closing speed come through yet).

    FYI she took a weird side step mid-race (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzFgxWwRXdo at 50s) which probably cost her more time wise than the ridiculous crap she's wearing.

    I'd pick her to win nationals and get a medal at worlds from what I've seen.

    Definitely a good bit more muscle than last year. Still has a long ways to go to reach the Jamaicans lol

    What do Sha’Carri Richardson and Josette Norris have in common?

    I root for them because of the inordinate hate they receive on LetsRun.

    Solid results. 10.85 and 22.38, but that's not going to get gold. She will make the team in the 1. Not sure about the 2. The Jamaican girls will be ready for her. Bronze at best at WC's.

    I hope she does well, but her coaches should advise her to drop the fish net garb and just wear the aero one piece suit the sprinters wear, she will be more streamlined.

    ETH has precisely 0 WC golds, indoors or outdoors. She also hasn't won a single WC 100m medal. SAFP will be the woman to beat, but it'll be competitive among the rest.

    Oh boo hoo. Not true and Welcome to Let’s Run. BTC runners get the most criticism here.

    re: Payday

    I don't know why people are writing off Thompson-Herah when, on times, she is in the same form over 100m and faster over 200m than this time last year.

    I do think she is managing a niggle, but it's not bad enough to stop her from racing and she has put down some good times. She has gone from 22.7 > 22.5 > 22.2 in her 200m races, that last 3/10th improvement happening over a 3 week period. In a 4 week period Jackson went from 22.07 > 21.9, so smaller increments.

    I do think if Thompson-Herah were to win the gold in Eugene, she may DNS the 200m. Alternatively, we may see her only do one event at the Jamaican Trials. We'll soon see. But so far, on paper, she is actually better than last season.

    ETH wants to solidify her status as the greatest sprinter ever. The only way she can do this is to win the 100/200 at Worlds in Eugene, given Mboma is hurt. I see no reason why she shouldn't be able to win the double this year. It will be difficult for her to win the 200M when Mboma returns to full health.

    Idk that anybody’s “writing her off”.

    As it stands right now, it looks like she will have to be perfect to beat SAFP. Any nagging achilles issue will be enough to lose gold.

    As far as DAS, SCR, and others are concerned, only time will tell—but right now IMO they are all pretty close in any given race.

    re: Sprintgeezer

    Not to derail, but IMO this def puts her on the relay, and maybe on 2nd or 3rd, interchangeable with Steiner...or heck maybe Steiner on leadoff, the way she ran that 200 turn.

    Sturgis-SCR-Steiner-Hobbs? So far.

    Along with Steiner, SCR is my only other relay pick at the moment.

    Twanisha Terry will have to be added to the relay pool. She may even beat Sturgis for a place on the 100M team.

    Yeah, and maybe Jefferson.

    One thing for sure, this will be a good, meaningful fight for the 4x1 relay spots this year.👍

    It's still too early to get a really good read on things. One thing I would be confident in predicting would be that SAFP will figure in the medals, and will be ready to race during WC's--other than that, I am confident in nothing, including SCR, notwithstanding her continued improvement.

    BAM 💥 SAFP 10.67 (0.5) WL in Paris
