She, Muna Lee and Allyson Felix are living proof that muscle mass doesn't always equate to running fast times. Hooray for the slim women sprinters! LOL

[CHEETAH69]

underachieving? didn't she win like 3 worlds 200m titles? And one of those with a 21.8? How about her 48.1 relay carry? Conolly is awesome. But Kersee is king.

[VibeFly]

Evelyn Ashord is the TRUE GREATEST naturally talented womens sprinter of ALL TIME!!

[VibeFly]

Muscle Mass? Yes because she wasn't drug enhanced nor I believe Allyson Felix or Muna Lee are like FLO-JO or Marlise Gohr in the past! Also the present Jamaicans and I hate to say it Americans too today breaking all the world records these days without the present science to detect it, YET! If you know your past history in the sport and study the statistics, it says it all! Oh yes I said it...I said the TRUTH!

Anybody got Evelyns 100 & 200 from 1981 World Cup?

[ranhill]

Ashford placed 5th at the '76 Olympics. She was 19 years old at the time. He last great Olympic moment was in '88: In the 4x100m relay, after a sloppy exchange from FloJo, Ashford ran down Gohr from behind and won the Gold medal for the US team. In the '92 Olympics Ashford ran the lead-off leg at age 35 for the relay team that also won Gold.

[ranhill]

True. Muna Lee was with Kersee also but departed. After doing so, she won the 100m and placed second in the 200m at US Olympic trials in '08. Muna said Kersee focuses on technique. But she needed to get fast again, and she did.

[VibeFly]

If I understand your weird t e x t t e r m i n o l o g y, I guess you are saying Ashford was beaten by Gohr 3 times & you know of the two times she was beaten by her? All I know In 1979 at the World Cup in Montreal she won the 100m vs Göhr who settled for silver, again Ashford beat Gohr at World Cup '81! 83 World Champs she tore her hamsting. She won 84 Olympics but no Gohr there but later in the season she defeated Gohr once AGAIN at the Weltklasse meeting in Zurich with World Record 9.76!

[CookyMonzta]

If she hadn't hurt her hamstring in the 1984 Olympic Trials 200, that 10.76 might have easily been 10.66. I wish she had run the 400 more. She might have won a medal in 1992, even at the age of 35.

[CookyMonzta]

Aye. As far as I know, the only races in which she lost to Göhr were the 1977 World Cup, the 1983 USA/GDR duel and the 1983 World Champs, where she pulled her hamstring. Track and Field News ranked her as the #1 100-meter sprinter of all time in 2000. None have come close to challenging that. Marion Jones would have had a chance but she fucked it all up, big-time.
