Reports from Paris indicate that Jamaican sprinter Sashalee Forbes will compete in the 100m dash when the track and field events commence at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games on Friday. Speculation is rife that Forbes will replace...
Terrible results, now close to the OG she improves dramatically.
Too late.
Don't let the door hit your asz on the way out.
lol I wonder what excuse they will offer.
I also wonder what will happen with Thompson...
Improves at what? She didn't finish her last race and has looked bad all year. She's also competing in the 200 so if she was "glowing" she wouldn't both be in the athlete's village right now and planning to compete.
That would explain some of the Jamaica relay drama. I heard Franco(Jacksons coach) was complaining about not having enough runners for the womens 4x1. I'm mixed about keeping her in my 200m predictions now. Think I might give Tia or Alfred the bronze now.

I was surprised that Jamaica only listed 4 names for the 4x1 (versus listing more names to show alternates)
She and her coaching staff screwed the pooch, dropped the ball. Why race in Europe pre-season if this injury was lingering? Rest it, focus on training, and hope to be the best-you-can-be at the Games. Now this happens. Shame on you, Stephen Francis - this shouldn't happen under your tutelage in an Olympic year!!
Yes, Jamaica messed up the relay and shafted Kemba Nelson for the second time. Should have brought the max number of athletes. Shericka will be fine. She's getting older and wasn't going to win the 100m anyway.
It's insane how up and down Jamaican women are. 10.54 one season, 11.00 the next. Last year shericka was WR potential in the 200. This year she was terrible.
It doesn't matter. The 100 is a race between Julien and Shacarri.
