I ran hurdles for my track meet may4th..and i had never ever jumpe a hurdles in my life but i wanted to do it so i signed up..annd i got 1st place outta my group 2nd outta 2 schools together,,and my shoelaces were untied the WHOLE time(:
i have never fallen over the hurdles and i am a hurdler in the 110hh.. that does not qualify me as being not a good athlete so that thought or theory of "if u havent fallen over a hurdle u arent a good hurdler".. she fell yes and if she hadnt she would have blown them all out of the water and the video proves it! she is a monster and she lives up to that name!! we love u! USA USA USA USA USA USA USA!!
i was too happy because shitter cocacola (and usa)appropriated 1996 olympic games to greeks (of the centenary 1896-1996). So this was a partial punition...
you can kinda tell how she gets distracted right before the jump, like shes looking to her left before the jump and just didn't realize that she didn't rise her leg up high enough.
lol at school i was fine with hurdles, i went over/ jumped em and then my teacher calls me over and says I have the best form. "everyone watch her she has a perfect form" now i cant do em at all. better luck tomorrow for me i guess =p
Man, this hurt my heart to see her fall, just meters away from another gold medal. Devers is a true champion and deserves much more credit than she gets, especially from people accusing her of drugs. She has never been under suspicion of drugs and one of the most honest and humble, drug-free athletes there are. In fact, when dealing with Graves disease, she didnt even take the medication they gave her because it was on the banned substance list! Gail is a true champ. My fav of all-time!
Wow! Am I to assume you spent those eight hours between your last two postings reading up on the magnificent history of Queen 'as honest as the day is long' Devers? I am familiar with her history and her many 'incredible comebacks' (divine intervention possibly...minor miracles maybe?)and I was unsuprised to read how age 40, a mere 18 months after giving birth and with little training, she wins at the Milrose Games. What an ambassador for the sport
So what? Is that all you got. Speculation? Throughout her career,m Devers has NEVER come under suspicion for any substance. And here you are with no proof of anything and your calling her a druggy. Sigh. I'm not gonna engage with your immature arse anymore. It's obvious you have a problem with successful black women.
Yes indeed I'm a woman hating racist and not just a sports fan who has tired of the corruption and lack of integrity in sport and tired of those who try to defend it.
Dude if the evidence is there along with the facts then yeah I could understand where ya coming from. But you have no evidence of anything and yet ya making accusations. Tell me when in Dever's career did she ever fail a drugs test or come under suspicion? NEVER! So where's the basis of ya claim. Your just speculating. And speculation without the proof to back it up is HATING! Plain and simple.
I don't hate Devers I just think she takes performance enhancing drugs...call it a hunch if you will. She is one of a large number of athletes I believe that have taken them (not all of them are black women surprisingly)and your passionate defence isn't gonna change my opinion and vice versa I assume.
That's cool. Your entitled to your opinion. But your first statement was made to look like it was 'Fact' so that's why I responded. But yeah, if you believe that then that's up to you.
Gail Devers entire career she worked hard for... she is a woman of god and didn't use any drugs.. she is the greatest sprinter/hurdler of all time.. she has had an amazing career from the late 80's until the present... She proved age isn't a factor and she continues to educate young people all over the u.s.a on track and field and graves disease... she definitely was a clean athlete.
You go 'WARMACHINE: I was so upset I actually cried'! You're right though, I'm so naive, Devers would never have taken performance enhancing drugs...it's a preposterous suggestion. That was just my ill informed opinion but clearly you must know her personally, yet can still remain impartial, since you know what you're talking about and can claim so confidently that she was NEVER on drugs. Nobody ever caught Flo-Jo so she must never have taken steroids either...
Well if you've got that attitude, then you might as well say every top competing athlete is on drugs because you never know. Infact what's the point of watching athletics cause there all at it since you seem to believe everyone is guilty with no grounds to your claim.
man the olympics was the only race she could never win. This woman has broken all the records and can beat anybody but the Olympics always spelled disaster for her. Just think she was running so fast that she fell over the last hurdle and still got 5th by like a tenth of a sec...cant nobody tell me she isnt the greatest female hurdler of all time
This was one of the most enduring images of Barcelona '92. It was a terrible finish for Gail Devers, but she took it in her stride. It would have brought back memories of her having survived Grave's Disease as a child.
I feel so sorry for her!

though once at a meet i say a girl trip while in the lead (i think it was for the 300 though), do a ninja roll, get up, and still do well. :o
i've been waiting for the hurdle coach to teach us how to do that ever since.
