Olympic Trials Womens 200 Final 2008 USA Track & Field

[nhsvp2012]

Didnt even notice that carmelita jeter was in this race till i looked up the results on usatf.org

[stevie586]

Hooker-Myers is getting really good, as of, like, NOW, but, that pisses me off what she did, and she should've been DQ'ed. She was not nearly as fast as these women at that point in time, and it upsets me she qualified, only to get stomped. It's a disgrace...

[thesun04]

I shouldn't be laughing!!

[huh688]

dive my ass! that was a fall

lmao

[hitps101]

I remember like 10 years ago this one lady was doing a rely and they showed her up close running and the bitch was gone

[rocc22]

that was a great show

[toodeep1212]

lol they runnin so fast it looks more like a fall then a dive.

[drecua]

lol she fell..

[jaketyson87121]

haha she fell!!! but that must of hurt, but it is funny!!! lol

[SheldonBianchi]

LMAO..... I luv it!!! I felt it..

[WaffleSharpie]

Holy. I dont think I can Make it into the Olympics :[ Imma try anyways

[nitrousdaking]

I'm not hating on allyson felix but she should have been disqualified she stepped on the line down the straight several times between 0.16 - 0.18 in the Olympic finals for men 200m wallace spearmon was disqualified for doing the same thing...I'm just saying

[garyoak300]

tou can only get dq if you step out in the curv, or if you block someone, she diddnt

:)

[nitrousdaking]

no watch the olympic finals of 200m men spearmon blocked no one he just stepped on the line a few times and was dq also the guy who got 2nd place got dq for the same reason

[garyoak300]

spearmon was dq because he and martina steped out on the corner

[Julzellis]

Nitrousdaking- You just cannot touch the "inside" line.. However ,the "outside" line is allowed.

Hope that clears it up for you.

[PonziNole]

Jesus how many jamaica vs usa comments are on here?

[undeniablybadd23]

Damn did yall see ma cuzin fall??? damn Marshevet Hooker now!!!! but she made it though I love ya and miss grandma Mary Hooker

[brian8793]

Oh man, that is a HILARIOUS photo finish. Oh yeah, Allyson Felix is amazingly beautiful;) It's looks like Guo Jingjing's got some competition for my affection.LOL

[adnice2000]

what about sportmanship and giving other countries air time to bask in their glory that is what sports but sadly, we as americans majority just don't get it. Dont think so one sides it4vette96 because you just might miss greatness. We all know that most of our athletes are on drugs as guess god decided to have a fair olympics this year. now thick about that.

[brian8793]

Damn adnice2000, why you all up on my grill?LOL All I said was Allyson Felix spins my dradle, and heats up my crock pot. Whats wrong with that?

[jackpot3920]

they soo sexy lol

[lt4vette96]

steroids have been very kind to the jamaicans...hi ho silver...away!!!!

[adnice2000]

it4vette96 what are you talking about jamaicans are filled with steroids.

[adnice2000]

When maurice green showboats it is ok, it seems as if their is a double standard for our athletes. Thank god i can turn on the tv again without or picking up a paper with only michael phelps on it.

[adnice2000]

You know i am ashamed to be an american because when we loose to countries that are better we complain. We see michael phelps winning all these medals and the has only beeen tested once or twice.

[mitchell4000]

well take your ass to another country. you sound absoluately foolish. you have to be jamacain. and, if you are. i am just amazed at why all of you bring your butts over here if your country is so wonderful.

[adnice2000]

mitchell i hate to break it to you but i am american, but i already mentioned that in my post. there is nothing wrong if someone else wins, and why would i be foolish to say that. we can cheer on other countries as well. America is a melting pot and this country was founded by immigrants.

[adnice2000]

I felt sad for marion jones but sometimes the pressure to be the best and win can sometimes leak to cheating. Barry, bonds is no different as well. when will it end this why i said what i said on thatposting.

[adnice2000]

Alot of our athletes have been on steroids since the 80's but now we have the resources where they all are getting caught, why risk your entire life for that. Just for fame and so you could say your the best, that is just pointless.

[DarneshaBad]

Wow, Jamacain Isnt The Only Race Other Then American On The Track

[adnice2000]

The jamaicans have been tested 32 times not to mention when they win. This is why other countries don't like us, because we are selfish and all for ourselves. We see nbc do it and now the chief of the olympics is criticising bolt for showboating.

[adnice2000]

mitchell4000 i know that when some of us as americans speak the truth there are others who dont want to hear it. This post was like a year ago as well and i am surprised you respond to it. Most of my friends who are from different countries agree as well. Once i traveled t europe and some of the citizens of that country say the same thing. We can get beat in anything but we always find an excuse as to why we lose.we need to be humble sometimes and accept defeat with grace.

[adnice2000]

And my friend you are just like them. we don't admit to ourselves that we got our butts whipped. These jamaicans work very hard where they eat home grown food such as yams and bananas not our sweet yams. Gail devers said it bet the jamaicans are doing excellent work and we must admit that it is not our time, what a classy lady.

[Julzellis]

IDIOT. How many Jamaicans have you EVER seen get caught? Name 3 for me. Go ahead search google dumbass. Since I know U can't.

Hmm now same question. how many Americans got caught?

I'll name 3 for you:

Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery, Kelli White, Jerome Young, Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire, Derick Jeter, CJ Hunter, Christie Gaines.

Oops my bad, thats 9.

All of whom were At or Near the top of the world during their "dirty time" With Gold Medals, records, or milestones.

"THINK" before you talk!

[mitchell4000]

Oh. I love people like you. Where do we start:

1) Ottey

2)Julien Dunkley

3)Ennis-London

4)Andrian Findley

And the dirty five that went down just a few weeks ago. Yes, Jamaican athletes are dirty both literally and physically. lol

[adnice2000]

u dont have to respond to my postings because my posting is not meant to hurt or harm anyone just simply stating the facts. My posting wasn't foolish as well, we have to be honest sometime as well. Look at our nba team when we sent amateurs to the olympics we sometimes loose right, but our country hates that. now we are sending pro athletes and majority of these countries dont have pro players.

[adnice2000]

my posting is for mitchell4000

[Camberella]

HOLY CRAP! It takes me 45 seconds to do that. I am not that good at that anyway so... holy crap!

[UNoITube]

What to ruin 200m?

[adnice2000]

ALL MY COMMENTS ARE FOR it4vette96

[wkllultra]

that bitch had to dive to get that third place spot from my baby that's sum bull!

[LadyPMor]

Felx is a machine, the girl can run.

[ELIGAGIRL]

how can u go to the olympics?

[sexybrown305]

damn it, i hoped Lauryn could have ran in the 200m with Allyson aganist Veronica.

[trkstar79]

i would have been pissed at Hooker who dove at the line. if i knew i had the final spot locked and someone dove across the finish and took it from me, they just created a rivalry

[shetautNeterzhou]

But u never can count out the US, they also have good sprinters. Still though we a carry nuff medal come home and me nah talk bout Bronze

[shetautNeterzhou]

No sah

[garyoak00]

The 4x100m olympic team, will be

Torri Edwards

Allyson Felix

Lauryn Williams

Muna Lee

[Aarontlondon]

I highly doubt they'll beat the Jamaicans at Beijing

[FlatulenceFox]

Why?

[Aarontlondon]

The Jamaican's have 4 women who have run 10.8 this season! That's just unheard of for a single country to have such sprinting talent. The Americans just cannot compete with that, even despite Torri Edward's fluke, wind aided 10.78

[FlatulenceFox]

Remember: don't brag before the race. Brag and celebrate once you have earned the victory.

[Aarontlondon]

How was I bragging? That is the wrong term and you are misinformed. My point was pretty simple - despite the American relay team in Beijing being strong, on paper at least they cannot compete with their Jamaican rivals.

[FlatulenceFox]

No one is misinformed. There is just a difference of opinion. And, yes, what your previous statement qualifies as bragging.

[Aarontlondon]

LOL Please look the word 'bragging' up in the dictionary and you'll find the word does not apply to any comment I have written here. How can I brag about people and things that don't apply to me in any way at all??????? You completely misunderstood my point and so you are indeed -- misinformed.

[FlatulenceFox]

LOL is such a trite and overused term here. Anyway, a disagreement with your point of view does not make me misinformed. We can look at the same thing and interpret them in different ways. Of course you are going to see your opinion as the correct one. And, in your opinion, since the Jamaicans have faster times than the Americans you are implying that they will win. Now in my opinion that is presumptive, arrogant and, yes, bragging that they will win over the Americans because of those times.

[Aarontlondon]

This argument IS NOT because we have conflicting views! It's because you said I was bragging when I was not! I am not Jamaican, so how on earth can I brag about the Jamaican relay team, and how can I possibly be arrogant about their team? I don't support them! I told you to look the word brag up in the dictionary but you clearly didn't!!! Instead you worsen your case by adding 'arrogant' to your mix of words that you obviously don't know the meaning of!!!

LOL again!

[FlatulenceFox]

So you are just the objective, only slightly interested 3rd party who has all the facts. Way to back down from stating how you feel which was clearly implicit in your initial post.

Okay, go back to report the facts. I loved to be informed by the smartest man on your block.

[sexybrown305]

do u feel this is a strong team 2 beat the Jamaicans?

[RBGdUP]

Hooker was just not taking no for an answer lol. I would've liked to see Lauryn double, but she already qualified, and its good for a young athlete to experience the olympics

[Julzellis]

The 200m final in Beijing will be interesting, and Im excited to see what happens.

I just wanna give Hooker props for diving for the 3rd place spot! She wanted it more!

[mmouse321]

hooker is quick for a single race , seem like she cannot manage the rounds well, and the usa trial are based on the actual olympic race schedule. Felix is the one to beat at olympic, Veronica Campbell looks good, and will only run the 200m.

[BPJW]

felix is not hte one to beat it's veronica

[smill259]

I like Veronica better, but its Felix whos the one to beat!

[FlatulenceFox]

Felix is the one to beat. It is not how you sprinted 4 years ago, it is how you are sprinting leading up to the games. And right now the fastest one is Allyson.

[Lizsoliz2008]

Marshevet hooker is the one who tripped. Her and her family are really close with my family & I. My brothers went to high school with her.

: ]

[hbennjr]

I think Felix is in her zone with the 200 and 400. I think her trying to qualify in the 100 was a stretch. Her start still could use some work but she should be strong in Bejing.

[1107jp]

Goldstruck stop hatting on allysion she is just better period i didnt say unbeatable but right now she is the one to beat the JA need to do there home work and train hard but if history repeats its the jamican on the women or men side 100 or 200 will choke up the always do

[BPJW]

aum Allyson aint the one to beat it's Veronica

[MrProdigy555]

No Allyson is the favorite! Veronicas finals time was 21.86 and Alltsons was 21.82

[porn0graffiK]

Based on who medalled in 2004, most would think that, but it's 2008 now.

When you follow T&F, you know it's not what you did last week, last year or FOUR YEARS AGO, but what you do in the process of getting BACK to that point.

And as of now, with all the times compiled this track season, with championships and trials completed, Allyson Felix is the one to beat. Just look at the times for the year.

I'll give you another example: USA Basketball, 3rd in '04 - team to beat in '08.

[smill259]

Calling it a dive is a little unfair. I think she just wanted it soo much that she over worked and fell. If she dived she shouldn't be allowed in the team, but I'm sure she just fell.

[lewanavanua]

is there another video like this - all of your videos are no longger available? How come???

[ryangoring]

hooker hit like a wet duck in a dry pond!!!

what the rassole!!! she dead!!

[Toutlaguerre]

R u a bajan? that is a swear word unique to bajans i am sure.

[ryangoring]

as a bajan you should know den

u should check ma page out b4 ya ask ma

i c u from BIM too

[muc390]

actually the wind was 3.8

surprising, cause i thought with a following wind like that Allyson should have run close to 20.00!

[Goldstruck]

u understand with all the steroids

[dimasnko]

Hooker's fall is hilarious! looked like a bag full of potatoes being thrown full-speed to the ground LoL!

Despite that CONGRATULATIONS! such fast times on a single national senior champs... hope you aren't doped ;-).

I hope Marshevet will keep this photofinish! RoFL!!

[Goldstruck]

allyson felix disqualified she was running in muna lee's lane,lol they didnt see that,she lucky its the outside lane...

[d1r1a1g1]

That's my girl!!!

[xxFalconFonzxx]

that's insane

[Iwantvoids]

Hookers dive is the best thing EVER!!! MY GOD, that's priceless. Lost out in the 100 by INCHES then an accidental splat before the line actually WINS her the place! Without the fall she was out! BRILLIANT

[echo6161]

She had a terrible start as well.

[tenzing9]

I don't think her fall was accidental, but rather a desperate attempt to win a place on the team. She's very lucky she wasn't badly injured--but she got that 3rd spot and will be going to Beijing.

[telkwa]

thanks.

[trance4mation]

lmaoooo at the photo finish in 1:50
