And like I said, plenty of athletes are household names with no personality or without being particularly charismatic . i don’t care about tennis and I don’t think Serena is particularly interesting but I respect what she’s accomplished and the media has made you know her as the face of the sport. Simone Biles ain’t interesting either but the media made you know her and no one cares about gymnastics outside of the Olympics. Michael Phelps ain’t making you roll over laughing and again, no one cares about his sport outside of every four years yet he became a household name. theres nothing that boring about sydney that makes her less marketable than these other people

you do not need to be shacarri to get noticed, and shacarri isn’t charismatic, she’s provocative, two very different things. I don’t have an issue with her at all, but that’s clearly not the only blueprint to being known in lesser known sports

But you’re comparing her to athletes in sports that are waaay more popular so of course their performance carries them. People care about what they do.

No one watches track and they definitely aren’t watching 400h. Now when she drops to the flat sprints, depending on her performance she’ll get more play.
SharCarri is charismatic but polarizing(not provocative) her performance on the track is what got her noticed.

I had completely forgot about Daryll Neita Asha Philip. Had she been hurt previously? Was she in any of the prelims for previous solo races?

Yes she won the 100 at the British trials over Dina
ETA:I thought you were talking about Neita

 

[Richard Glidewell]

Of course she did........somebody was going to.......was never in doubt.......her complexion made sure of it

Damn, Elaine definitely has to give her husband the deavors, outside of her individual 100, she’s been beyond disappointing. That split might be the fire she needs, i know Jamaican women are even worse than american black women when it comes to not wanting to take an L to a white woman lol

edit: just looking at this, can’t be too mad at Elaine, they had some bad handoffs and Steiner got the second best time out the 8

But the time difference between Steiner and Herah was too much. That could easily be the difference between first and last in an open 100

 

[African_brehda]

Doubt Athing Mu can run the 400. She has 800 just an hour prior. I just know my great white PAWG is on that second leg again

No. Only Dina and Neita had the qualifying time for the 100m. Asha is more 60m specialist and leads off for relay.

With Kerley injured they probably wanted to use the silver medalist on the anchor legs.
