Well, she has disappeared from social media. So that's actually a good thing. But her not running in her first two scheduled meets is not a good sign, for her. Still early days. Her backers sit, waiting anxiously. But those Jamaican girls are not waiting, not worried. This will be another great season, with or without Sha'Carri.
If only there were some "journalists" around this place that could actually reach out to her representatives, get an answer and write an article about it.
Oh well, guess that doesn't drive the clicks like a good old fashion hate thread will
It's sad if someone with so much talent has quit. Maybe she can't ditch smoking weed and knows she will test positive. Maybe she's injured. Who knows?
I just find it funny that USATF boasted about having her run in this new meet they have created and then when the start lists come out no mention of it.
Sure there were a few people who bought tickets to this because she was announced to run and then USATF acts like the first press release never happened
And people wonder why others look at our sport as a joke

Much like most every other major happening in athletics, they just wait for others to do the work for them. With their toxic style and this gross message board, it’s little wonder no one wants to talk to them anyway.
Gone are the days when the US female sprinters were a dominant force.
The Jamaican Girls will Sweep in Oregon.
Assuming that Mboma doesn’t compete, and I hope that she doesn’t, you’re saying that Jamaica will sweep the 100 & 200?
Between ETH, SAFP, and Shericka Jackson, the 100 seems the most probable event for them to sweep. Throw Briana Williams in there for the 4 x 100 and they’ll take that also. Williams just turned 20 last month and will only get better. There’s a good chance that they will take down the nearly 10 year old 4 x 100 world record of 40.82 that is held by the United States. That quartet nearly did it in the Olympics with a 41.02. Relays are unpredictable, though. A slight bobble on a hand off, a little delay on the steps, timing off, etc. If all goes smoothly for them, the record should come down.
The 200 is a different story. ETH should get the gold. Mboma excluded, she in a class by herself. SAFP is still formidable over the 200 but she’s better at the 100. Jackson’s 200 has improved. The US women could crack the top 3. Remember, Gabby Thomas ran the 4th fastest time in history last year with a 21.61 and her early form looks good. Abby Steiner still has to prove herself in the outdoor 200 and stay away from the injury bug but I believe she’s capable of getting into the 21.7 to 21.8 range. Her coaches seem to be pacing her this year and bringing her along slowly so that is good given her injury issues. Also, don’t forget about Anavia Battle, Jenna Prandini, and Tamara Clark. Any of them are capable of a breakthrough. Allyson Felix seems to be more a 400 person now so I’m not sure she’s there.
From other countries you have Miller-Uibo and Asher-Smith that could potentially contend.
It’s just too early to say that the Jamaican’s are going to sweep both events.

No disrespect to Thomas, Daniels, Steiner or whoever, it's going to be rough going for a couple of years for the U.S. and the rest of the world. It not that the USA ladies are running poorly, it's just that the Jamaicans and up and coming Mboma are on another level. As fast as the Jamaicans and Mboma are running, I suspect they will run even faster.

I mostly agree but I really hope that Mboma is not allowed to compete until her testosterone is suppressed to an acceptable and fair level. Let’s put them all on a level playing field.
I believe Jackson will cause an upset. She is still with camp MVP. The last few female 100m gold medals won at WC and OLYs were all coached by camp MVP.
