2024 Track and Field Thread — Olympic Year!!!

[Xennial]

if I'm Jamaica, I'm putting Shericka in the 4x400 final, this is gonna be 1 of the weakest USA 4x400 women teams due to like 5 women not being available for various reasons. I'm going for it if i'm Jamaica.

LEGGO


TT ate SAFP on the back stretch.

 

[Xennial]

Jamaica not going with Elaine and Brianna in this relay lineup cost them

 

[aepps20]

Richardson and Gabby brought it home. Richardson just had another gear

I feel like you gotta run shericka on that 3rd curve.. hell let her start given her strength there

but US having gabby on that 3rd curve was huge

 

[mr z]

Glad to see USA back running at an elite level Shacarri’s transformation has been insane.

Edit - yea, Tee Tee Terry up next fa sho

[tramericanjr]

this has been a great world championships and good storylines heading into the Olympics next year

 

[Xennial]

Sha'Carri anchor leg split was 9.64. Technically the fastest of all time unless you wanna count Marion Jones(9.54) from the 2000 Olympics

Catching some highlights and watched the men's shot put final. Cool that the US dude won, but I loved the NBC commentary. When it was over, the announcer compared it to standing on the free throw line of an NBA court, and throwing an object the weight of a bowling ball to the opposite hoop. That little tidbit really helps in understanding it.

IATT this would be a good yr for USA for them to do what you always wanted and put Grant Holloway in that 4x400 relay lineup, same with Kerley for me

yup.. we’ve seen these dudes deliver great relay legs

but I always wonder why these dudes only keep themselves to basically 4 hurdles guys

at least with the women theyre smart enough to get mo in there and obviously they would throw Allyson Felix in there even before she was running the flat 4 really

but with college and obviously lower levels you need to use whatever bullets you got.. and in a relay it‘s different tactics from a flat 4

 

[IATT]

hope SAFP is ok, saying they’re going check her knee after the relay

Even with USA not in the 4x400 Women's final, i think Jamaica should still put Shericka in there as the Netherlands may still be tough for them to contend with in the final if Klaver and Bol run strong legs

with the power she had on that 200, could easily see her putting in an extremely solid 400

Holloway is the left field, but we saw dude do it at Florida plus he has the build for it

 

[Peep Game]

Those relays the men had awful handoffs outside of the first one but still dominated, that’s crazy.

48.7 split for Bol to anchor the gold
Shericka should have been the anchor there for Jamaica

 

[tsamshox]

Noah getting killed on social media for his NBA take lol
