Can you try and make an argument without using "speculation", "conjecture"..i.e. unrealistic expectations coolade (I'm assuming that's how you spell Kool aid in the UK..).
Regardless, all of those SBs with the exception of MLA were average.. Hence, why I called those performances mediocre. Perhaps we both have different definitions of what mediocre is. In this case I'm using it to mean average, or in the middle. . Which is not necessarily a bad thing.
I won't let someone who can't even spell "Kool aid" tell me that those performances over the weekend were above mediocrity.
When one has little substance to their argument they tend to look for distractions from the real argument like spelling of words, etc. Is how I spelled coolade if I choose to spell it like that of any importance or is understanding what I meant by you drinking Sando's "unrealistic expectations coolade" the important thing?
Talking about unrealistic expectations, were you not the same person who was expecting Darrel Brown to make a come back since 2010 and beat best sprinters in the world provided he has
one injury free season?
Anyway I never used any "speculation" or "conjecture" in my actual argument to explain why Alena Brooks, Michelle-Lee Ahye & Semoy Hackett performances in Jamaica were all good and not mediocre as you inaccurately tried to describe them. Instead I used data and stats to back my argument unlike yourself.
According to the Oxford Dictionary the word mediocre means - of only average quality; not very good.
Now how could Alena Brooks SB and PB in the 800m be not very good by her standards when she has never ever run a time of 2:03.09 over 800m before in her career?!
How could Semoy Hackett SB of 22.87 in the 200m not be very good when it is not that far off from her 200m PB of 22.51 and is as fast as some of her best 200m SB times over the last 6 years and moved her to 30th in the 2017 World 200m Rankings?
And you have already confirmed that you think that MLA's SB of 11.06 was a good performance so we don't have to debate about that performance here.
I respectfully submit that your argument is not based on logic, data and stats like mines but rather is based more on your emotions and feelings much like Sando's argument.
I was very specific in my replies and provided facts and stats to show exactly why I view the performances of Alena Brooks, Michelle-Lee Ahye & Semoy Hackett as good performances, Emmanuel Callender's performance as descent and Ayanna Alexander's as disappointing or mediocre.
All you have provided to prove that Brooks PB performance and Hackett SB performance were both mediocre (which means not very good based on the Oxford dictionary definition) are empty words based purely on your feelings very much like Sando also did and not any facts and stats to add substance to your argument.
