Womens 200m final Barcelona 1992

[Karmartia]

That tall Jamaican runner in the next lane was kinda hot.

[Mark5058]

CAN WE FOR ONCE HAVE A CLIP LIKE THIS NOT ACCOMPANIED BY BLEATING ABOUT DRUG USE

[idontsignin]

@Mark5058 i very much doubt it. drugs are still rife in sport.

[Ras09true]

so JA got fast by running from police, and USA got fast by using steriods, which is better. Your most decorated stars use dope. i wonder who next will be found out. It's not only track, look at Flyod Landis, Barry Bonds and now Aggasi. i had nothing but respect for this guy, and now drugs, if Aggassi used i don't know who isn't using or had been.

[atlfine]

wexlerchick....dont let the stupid jamaicans upset u....they just don't know any better......really........thei­r runners become fast by running from the police.....lol

[Ras09true]

You seem to be focussing on shelly,she's not the only sprnter.Sherone is also 23 and a good 200 runner,so is kerron.there are also others coming up who could surprize.Fraser pulled out of 200 because of injury,so did kerron,and sherone was injured ,yet Maclaughnen and Facey who might not have qualified based on pb still made the final,in Berlin.

[Ras09true]

I could name lots of atheletes who use to be dominant,and when Gaitlen got busted and Balco was found out,they suddenly got cold,,and today they still are cold and Caribbean athletes mainly Jamaicans has stepped forward,why is that?

[Ras09true]

Shelly is not a E200m runner yet,she hasn't really trained for it either.if she puts her head down she can be very good.

[Marchjoy1963]

Merlene Ottey test positive for nandrolone 3 times during 1999 season, when the news of the second test came out she left the world championships in Spain.. both a & b samples tested positive.

[RelicHunter321]

And she was later cleared because it was a small trace that came from medication she was taken.

but it's all in the past now. I think you can agree with me when I say the days of American sprint dominance are over. Jamaica wins men's and women's sprint in 100 and 200m, as well 4X100. It's our time now.

[wexlerchick]

What? Allyson Felix dominates 200m, what are you smoking? Our women dominate 4x400m, as well as 400m. And on a good day when the other girls learn how to pass the baton we dominate the 4x100m too. The only thing Jamaica dominates with the women is 100m. The men of Jamaica dominate 100m, 200m, and 4x100m, while our guys dominate 400m, 4x400m and 400 hurdles. USA remains surpreme.

[RelicHunter321]

Ok, but that good day hasn't come, and the USA girls still don't know how to pass the baton. The Jamaicans won the 2004 Olympics and last World Championships. In the Champs last week, Muna Lee deliberately tripped herself after a crappy pass since they knew they weren't gonna win. Veronica Campbell has a much faster time than Felix over 200, and 2 Olympic golds. Jamaica dominates women 400m hurdles, we won 100 m hurdles, 100 men and women, 200m men, came 2nd in 400m women.

[RelicHunter321]

If you look at the medal table for the Olympics and World Champs (US is 1st, Jamaica is 2nd), the only reason the US beat Jamaica is because they brought more athletes and entered every category, like javelin and and decathlon etc. For all the main events, Jamaica wins. We have the fastest man and woman in the world! Shelly Ann Fraser is 3rd of all time, and the 2 above her used drugs. USA has been surpassed! The only star u guys have is um, actually, no one brings the masses like Usain Bolt.

[wexlerchick]

So, Jamaica wins men's 4x400 or 400m or 400m hurdles? Jamaica wins women's 200m, 400m, 4x400, 4x100m? The majority of the time? Nope. I don't think so, the US does live with it.

[wexlerchick]

You're just an idiot. The US women has won the 4x100 in the Olympics 9 times, how many times has Jamaica won? Once. Muna Lee got tripped by Alexandria, buddy you need to watch the clip from every angle and stop being so biased. The US won the women's 4x100

in the 2007 and 2005 world championships and we would have easily defeated the Jamaicans had we not had that slip up, the only way Jamaica would have stood a chance is with Veronica Campbell who had a falling out with Quarrie and walked away

[wexlerchick]

In the women's 4x100 the Jamaicans posted a pathetic 42.06. We have an average 41.68. You think just because of the speed of Fraser and Stewart that the team is unbeatable? Let me let you in on a little secret speed isn't the only thing that matters. And the US has wiped the floor with andd will wipe the floor with Fraser and Stewart in anything above 100m.

[wexlerchick]

Doesn't matter Felix has wiped the floor with VCB more times than VCB has her, Felix also has the world leading time in 200M. Get over it, the best female 200m sprinter in the world is Allyson Felix and even VCB will tell you that.

[RelicHunter321]

1. Felix has said that she would gladly trade her gold medals for 1 of VCB's Olympic Golds.

2. Jamaica posted 42.06, but the US posted DNF. Which is better?

3. Yes, US may win in anything over 200. But that's not sprint. The real races to determine the fastest in the world is the 100 and sometimes 200, which Jamaica won 3 0f 4.

4. Yes, the US has won most times in history. But I said that Jamaica has overtaken them, and right now, the biggest sprinting stars are from Jamaica.

5. Suck my dick!

[RelicHunter321]

Bitch, watch the video called "USA misfortune at the 4x100 M Relay Semi- Finals Women/Men [HQ] WORLD ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIP BERLIN" and go to 1:10 of that video. You will see a slow motion of the change over for the US women, and see and hear the commentator say that Muna Lee tripped herself. After the baton fumble, the US knew they weren't going to win, and Lee faked the injury, much like Michael Johnson faked his injury to avoid an ass kicking by Donovan Bailey. Remember that? I bet you do.

[wexlerchick]

Wow more profanity from an uneducated Jamaican what a surprise, huh? If you would watch the FUCKING British coverage like I did you would see from a close-up left angle that the back of Muna's thigh was partially kicked by Alexandria.

2. You just said on the commentary the idiot said Muna tripped herself, right? But in your previous post you said she DELIBERATELY tripped herself, 2 completely different things. Idiots these days, geez.

[wexlerchick]

Wow, how immature are you? You can't have a debate without saying something like ''suck my dick?'' Do everyone a favor and go kill yourself.

1. Veronica has said that if Allyson Felix gets passed her in a race it's more than likely over.

2. I said our average in the 4x100 meaning with the crap score Jamaica posted we would've easily kicked their sorry asses and then some.

3. Do your fucking reasearch, 100, 200, 60,400 are sprint anything above like 800, 1500, etc is not.

[RelicHunter321]

Oh, and u didn't know about being immature when you called me an idiot? Could care less what you say. And yes, Muna tripped herself, DELIBERATELY. The girl behind her didn't even touch her enough for her to have such a dramatic fall. You're acting like Muna is any sort of runner. She didn't medal at all for this whole championship. I think that this pisses you off. At the end of the day, Shelly Ann, Bolt and VCB are the STAR of the athletic world. I know it hurts, but u gotta live with it.

[RelicHunter321]

And AGAIN, the real races to determine the fastest in the world has been won by us Jamaicans. It's over for the US. We swept the 100m Olympics and had 4 finalists in the World Champs (to the US' 2 measly runners). Hahahahha, who the hell are you fooling? I'm an uneducated Jamaican, yes. But you're a fucking hillbilly (probably Republican) cocksucker who won't face the truth hha. Yes, someone tripped Muna. If you review the tapes, you'd see that it was Bolt and his long legs hahahha. You ass. ha

[wexlerchick]

Actually I'm from Connecticut, that's in the north east, not the south and I'm independent, neither Republican nor Democrat. Sole 100M runners are one trick ponies who would get their asses handed to them in anything above 100. Just like Shelly got beat in 200m by the woman who Allyson Felix has wiped the floor with numerous times, VCB.

[RelicHunter321]

OMG, that is so weak haha. I should have known you would have come back with a response like that. You're gonna criticize my grammar now? Well, spot all the errors you want. It still doesn't change the fact that the US lost all the good races. Deal with it. I know it's hard, but since you guys can't rely on your drugs anymore, you've been lagging a little. Shelly doesn't concentrate on 200m. But when an American can hold the Olympic and World title for 100m like she does, then you can talk...

[wexlerchick]

Your one narrow-minded son of a bitch, if you think ALL American athletes have to be drugged up to defeat an up and coming nation like Jamaica. How do you determine what the ''good races'' are? Anytime an athlete wins ANY race it's a great accomplishment. But, going by your logic Jamaica has only won 2 good races then, right? Usain and Shelly? Nothing else Jamaica has done matters then.

[RelicHunter321]

Truth hurts, doesn't it, fag? Now that the US are off drugs, they are no longer the sprinting capital of the world, and it pains u. Your argument gets weaker and more pathetic. And yes, by my own logic, Jamaica has won THE 2 good races...AND THEN SOME. Everyone knows that the 100m as well as the 4X100 m are the main attractions of each tournament. They determine the fastest men and women, and the fastest teams/nations. That's why they are among the first and last races run. Jamaica won them ALL!

[RelicHunter321]

And since you feel inclined to correct my grammar, I should let you know that "your" was used incorrectly. It should be "YOU'RE one narrow-minded son of a bitch". Yes, "Cow Skin soup school" taught me that...

[wexlerchick]

Oh, don't be silly, I know the difference between ''Your'' and ''You're'', I know how to use them correctly, but I was just so eaten up inside while I was typing because ya know, the truth was hurting. Jamaica is the land that gave birth to Jesus Christ, the best place in the world, and after 1, yes, JUST ONE Olympic games where they did good, all of sudden they're the best, ya gotta love it. *Tear*

[RelicHunter321]

Glad YOU'RE finally starting to accept it. Realization is the first step. Yes, we gave birth to Jesus--AND the great Usain Bolt. And yes, after just one Olympics, where records were made and broken; and World Champs, where records were again made and broken, we ARE, all of a sudden, the best. Your sarcasm underscore your bitterness, but go cry it off. It gets better...when the US learns to run w/o drugs. It's like rebuilding an empire. A slow and arduous process. Good luck with that... =P

[wexlerchick]

I don't like other girls and I'm not a cigarette neither, so you're opening question isn't relevent to me. I've dealt with ignorant people like you, so I'm completely done with trying to educate, ya mon.

[RelicHunter321]

Oh, coulda swear you were a dude. I guess you're on your period and it's impeding your judgment. Aww, I forgive you, then. But look at you, trying to argue about sports. Hahahha

[wexlerchick]

You ARE and idiot, one example is because you don't know the difference between ''could care less'' and ''Could'NT care less'' a shame, what kind of school do you go to? Cow Skin soup school? Muna is a good runner, she's just a bit inconsistent, her running in the 200m final proves that. Why the hell wpould she trip herself? We would've beaten the Jamaicans with our superb time anyway.

[stevie586]

Gwen Torrence should have had this title so many times. It's like Gail Devers not having a gold for hurdles, when, that's something she should have had twice.

[PePinmySteP]

totally agree

[ALISONEJ43]

Oh, here's aquamarineeyes again!!! major hater of Marion Jones, FloJo etc, now poor Merlene Ottey is getting some. These three women are black that is why this saddo hates them. Racist.

[Bahia82]

As much as people claim ottey was a victim of the Drug usage by athletes in track and field. I feel that Gwen Torrence was more of a victim, because she came in 2nd plent of times to known cheaters, and never got her due.

[ALISONEJ43]

you've got so right!!!

[aquamarineeyes]

Ottey misses out again when it REALLY mattered lol! What a choker!

[Julzellis]

Hey Zim.. No you weren't liar. LOL.. Then how come I never saw you

[3748359]

i remember years ago my mom watching this she was so happy for torrence she started to cry.

[zn4jp]

GWEN deserved to win that race moe than anyone. Way to go!

[zim83]

I was at the stadium that day!

[loaactnow]

what was it like?

[zim83]

Amazing. I went to four track and field sessions during those Games. Pity the quality of the competitions, with some exceptions, was not that high. It was a transitional time between the widespread doping of the 1980s, the fall of the Iron Curtain and the emergence of some new athletes.

[loaactnow]

have you been to any other games?

[zim83]

No, just those ones that were held at home.

[jhecht424]

Lucky you zim. What a thrill it must have been to see the race in person. I live near Los Angeles and was alive when the games were here in 1984, but was only 3 years old so I wasn't old enough to appreciate the significance of the games being in my hometown.

[loaactnow]
