If Gail Devers could run with those nails she’ll be grand with that hair.

Offended? It was just a reply :man_shrugging:

And no aero bars

Hard not to be disappointed to be a second off her PB.

She’s been managing a back injury for last couple of weeks. Not sure she’ll run the relay.

Better days ahead.

Welcome back. Glad there is an underlying issue and it’s not just under performing. Not running since that Diamond League race wasn’t encouraging.

She’s arguably underperformed and still finished 4th in the world. That’s ridiculous when you think about it.

I’d imagine the US colleges run them into the ground. She’s been going non stop between indoors and outdoors. The girl that beat her in the outdoors collapsed in the heats.

Bumper summer of (tv watching) sport next year.

Football Euros from June 14th to July 14th and the Olympics two weeks after that.

It’s one of the reasons she was advised to turn pro I believe. She’d have another year of being flogged through NCAA’s. No reason she can’t run sub 49 and be a serious medal contender for Paris next year.

They won’t be able to compete against the group stages of the All-Ireland football championship.

If she stays injury free she’s sure to keep improving. She looked sluggish in semi final and again tonight.
