Unless the IAAF made an error, I believe Emmanuel Callender has also been entered into the 200m as a 'B' standard qualifier for T&T with a season's best time of 20.67 so you may need to add him to your T&T 200m Entry List above.

If when you say "our" you are talking about the relay, then our chances have not improved at all. Jam is very deep and the addition actually make their team a lot like the WR team from Beijing. However RT chances of a medal has improved.

If RT can beat Blake in the final (assuming all goes to plan and he makes it) then he will definitely medal! 8)

Injury sidelines Powell from 100m - Daegu 2011
Daegu, Korea - A nagging groin injury has forced world leader Asafa Powell to withdraw from the 100m at the IAAF World Championships which get underway on Saturday (27).
A statement from Doyle Management, the firm which represents Powell, read: "Asafa Powell has officially withdrawn from the 100m event in Daegu citing a continued groin strain. Powell suffered a groin strain in Budapest on July 30 and has had recurring tightness and pain ever since."
"After Budapest, Asafa missed eight days of training before he could attempt to sprint again. When he returned to the track he was able to sprint but it caused the groin to flare up."
"He has received all sorts of treatments over the past two weeks in the hope of being prepared to run the 100m here in Daegu but today Asafa made the final decision not to run. He feels he would not be at 100% and may have trouble coming back after each round."
"Asafa is very disappointed to say the least. He was really hoping to be able to run in what was going to be one of the most anticipated races of the championships. He is still optimistic to be able to run the relay."
Powell, the former 100m World record holder and bronze medallist in the event at the 2007 and 2009 World Championships, was the fastest man this season at 9.78.

Bolt on sprint title defence: ‘I’m focused and I’m ready now’
Daegu, Korea - As he prepares to defend the first of his World titles here over 100 metres, Usain Bolt has emphasised his determination to repeat his victory, if not his time, of two years ago.
The World 100 and 200m champion, appearing with other Jamaican athletes in front of a packed media throng in the Daeduk Cultural Centre just two days before competition begins in the 100m, was happy to agree with Tyson Gay’s reported prediction that he would win again in Daegu because of his “championship pedigree.”
“I proved it twice so I guess he knows what he’s talking about,” Bolt responded with a grin, before turning more serious.
“At Championships I believe I am much more focused,” he said. “Even when I’ve not been doing well in training, and I’ve been messing up, when it comes to a championship I have a real focus because I want it really bad.
“And now I want it even more because I want to be a legend. I’ve been working this week. I’m focused and I’m ready so - I’m going to get it done.”
But Bolt was non-committal when it was mentioned to him that his friend and rival Asafa Powell, who heads this year’s world lists with a time of 9.78, was out of the World Championships – it later transpired, with a recurrence of the groin injury which prevented him running in the Samsung Diamond League meeting in London.
“Asafa is out?” said Bolt. “This is the first I’m hearing about that. I can’t really answer that question. I saw Asafa yesterday, so I don’t know.”
Bolt, who has only managed a relatively conservative 9.88s this season, 0.30 slower than the World record he set in Berlin two years ago, said he was regarding this season as “a comeback season”, adding: “I’m coming back from injury and I’m working really hard to get back into tip-top shape. So I don’t think I’m in 9.5 shape, but I definitely will be able to run fast.
“I wouldn’t say it was more difficult to win than in 2009, although there’s a lot of guys running fast, and I’m not in tip-top shape which I was in Berlin.
But I think I’m focused and I’m ready now.”
Asked if he felt under pressure to break records every time he ran because of what he had done in the past, Bolt responded: “I think people expect a lot from me. Personally I am focused on winning. To me, pressure is always there. It was there even before I won my first gold medal. But I don’t look at it as pressure. I just look at it as ‘everyone wants the best from me’, so I just go ahead and do my race.”
Bolt insisted that his ambition of becoming a ‘legend’ of the sport by retaining the titles he won in Beijing and Berlin was “very important” to him.
“A lot of people have said that I am a legend, but I don’t look at it like that,” he said, adding with a grin: “But, in two years, I’m working on it...
“Other people have won championships and other people have broken records. But only a few people have repeated that year in, year out. Especially in the sprints it’s really hard to win and come back four years after that. But I’ve said before that that’s what it’s going to take to become a legend.”
He dismissed the suggestion that he had been receiving treatment in Daegu for an injured Achilles tendon.
“Injury? No such thing,” he said. “Us athletes, we get pains every day. Your back, your leg…so then it’s put some ice on it, and I’m good again. I’m great now.
I’m fine. For me it’s just about getting back into shape. Fitness-wise I’m good. Technique – I’m almost there. I wouldn’t say it was 100 per cent, but I’m happy.”

Hope RT just taking things easy and will deliver when it matters
Lemaitre look good tho

They had no idea who each of the Kenyan performers in the 10k were even though their name tags are on until the results were posted. They were also surprised at the performances of some clear favorites in a number of events. One said it was the first he's seen of Ashton Eaton....and on and on
Interestingly, Caster Semenya looks like she could be Yohan Blake's twin with their similar hairstyles
-
bolt practically walked down the field and ran a 10:10!!!! :o
-
Bolt looked imperious! The race was done by 25m!
-
Usain bolt looked awesome in his heat............sorry Ato, he aint coming 3rd, he winning on ah canter!
-
Look Aaron Armstrong gone and f**k up!!
I always said that we should go with Burns!!
-
what is the reasoning behind these heat lane assignments?

Seeing the difference in countries with established camps for their teams
If you fail to plan, plan to fail.

Armstrong looked pedestrian boy...oh gorm.
-
I guess our only hope for a medal lies in RT :-\
hopefully KB cud suprise we
-
Armstrong was never making d final to me, the fact he didn't even make the semis i won't lose sleep over.
If you're not a sub 10 sprinter then it don't make sense.
-
I guess our only hope for a medal lies in RT :-\
hopefully KB cud suprise we
RT in trouble as far as I could see yes. That heat was very poorly executed, I see him having to extend to make the final and that will take the sting out his run.....unless he rel playing possum, but from the looks of his run....I scared...I want him to make it badly, I want him to win the final...but first he have to make it...Kim Collins looked much better than him in the opening heat...steups....
-
The man couldnt make it out the first round fellas!!!!
This man was picked over a man who made de last 3 finals!!
The semi final line ups will be interesting.........Remember is 3 semis with the top 2 in each semi along with the 2 next best fastest times
-
Bolt looked imperious! The race was done by 25m!
and you wonder why I said, what I said about Ato`s prediction on the other thread. He always get his start together for a champs, and if he is with the pack at 60m, he will surely win.

Burns been running slow since early last year...he will not have made any difference. In Armstrong defense he has been running faster than Burns so he deserve to be in Daegu more than Burns
-
Thoughts after Day One:
I hate this new format for the 100m Rounds. The Preliminaries were a total waste! A Samoan running a PB of 15.66?! Worse yet there will now be three semis....top two and next two fastest time will make the final. These swirling winds will rob at least one person of a finals spot.
One of the three semis will have two Jamaicans in it. Let's hope neither Thompson nor Bledman are in THAT semi. Armstrong earned his opportunity and deserved it despite Marc's credentials. Too bad he squandered it. for a 10.0 man and Commonwealth Bronze Medallist to fail to make the semis even with it being expanded to 24 runners is disappointing
Didn't like our guys races one bit. Whether they were playing possum or not; finishing third most likely gives them hard semis. I guess if you're gonna be a medallist or even champion, finishing top two in your semi should be a non issue but right now those guys will have to run balls out to make that final.
Thompson looked like he could have beaten Kimmons but he SHOULD have and ensured a better lane and easier semi. Bledman looked genuinely beaten and that's not a good sign
Bolt looks utterly untouchable. A Jamaican 1-2-3 looks a real possibility but not a 1-2-3-4. If I were to go by the QF alone I'd say Bolt, Blake, Carter for the saucers...umm...excuse me.....medals based on what I saw. Dix looked quite good and is a real medal contender. Lemaitre looked solid as well. Frater should be a finalist
Not impressed by Gatlin at all. Collins looked good and the three round format helps the old man out but I think he may have shot his load. Makusha didn't look the darkhorse I foresaw.
Nothing I saw in that round suggest to me that anybody has a chance of beating Usain Bolt in that final. Hope the Torpedo and Bledman find something special in the semis tomorrow. Based on those QF they can't even look ahead to the final right now.
The Torpedo needs a semi like Berlin/Beijing to get back in the mix but still backing my guy

I would have gone with Burns as well. I just seen the startlists for the semis. Dont really know if KB or RT will make the final. We will be lucky if one Trini make it.

Bledman is in trouble. Blake and Dix look like automatic qualifiers. He'll have to run flat out and hope for a nice tailwind. Daniel Bailey and even Chambers cannot be discounted. Bledman has a chance to make the final ONLY if he gets a better start.
Thompson's calibre says Bolt is the only man he should fear in his semi. However he has absolutely no margin for error whatsoever. Frater, Kimmons and Lemaitre are all real threats and quite frankly Lemaitre and Frater looked better in that QF than him. He cannot start and execute as sloppily as he did today and make that final
Semi-Three is quite a toss up after Carter. Let's hope they run into a -3.0 headwind.
Nevertheless RT and KB will be well advised that they MUST try for top two. Fastest losers is a total crapshoot with these swirling winds to mess up the times.

For the exception of Bolt, whoever qualifies from this semi, will be running on steam come finals. Full out effort required. To echo Flash`s comments, Richard must go for top 2. I know there is more in Richard`s tank, but Lemaitre could well have the beating of him. I wish him the best. :beermug:

.....but it doh work so.
Yea "it doh work so", but i will ask you if Bolt is level with the field at 60m, which will more than likey happen if he keeps starting the way he did in that prelim, who is going to out run him in that last segment??????
-
well boy today is judgement day for our 100m men

If Bolt keeps starting like that then its all over come the final!
He may even do a low 9.6x once he goes all out, yes I said it!!
RT may need to run close to or to equal his personal best to make the final from his semi, definite sub-10 will be required from him!!
Then if he makes the final we'll have to hope & prayer that he will have enough left in the tank in the final to press for a medal!
-
Which is why they run. Also, who did he run against in that heat again? lol

Richard's quarter-final

You are very correct with the first part of your statement. As for who he ran against is pretty much immaterial, when talking about Bolt. Who is around him, has no effect on his techinal execution. That would have been a better talking point if it was Powell.

If Bledman gets a good start he could make that final. Must say, I think he looked better than Thompson.

Let’s talk that "Get the Gold talk" if/when RT makes the final!!
Remember nothing is guaranteed and loads of other athletes have run sub-10s this year not just Richard!
He needs to run his 'A' race to make the final from his semi, let’s hope he does!
Bledman will also need to run his 'A' race to make the final, and if both Richard and him run their 'A' races then you never know, we could still have two Trinis in the final, that would be nice!
-
I am expecting Richard to make final..he is in form and has been at this stage of global championships more than once in the past, so this is not new to him.
The real test is "Will Richard Thompsn medal?"..I want him to medal, and i am supporting him for gold. However I did expect better from him in the quarterfinal.
Armstrong was a disappointment ..
..and if Bledman makes final with a PB then he would have improved ..and he will also taking his career in the right direction. However Thompson is at a point in his career where anything less than a medal is a disappointment in my opinion
-
Yeah best of luck for RT and KB.
-
Why T&T (and most caribbean islands) dont produce alot of medal contending field athletes at these global events ? We only had few over the years. Seems like we put alot of focus on track development and not field development. Not every youth can run fast, some can jump high and jump far too.
As far as i can remember Cuba has always had field athletes right up there competing with the rest of the world
-
bolt looked great. blake isthe only man who has the tools and form to beat bolt in these games.
the real battle is for bronze, assuming they make the finals it will be dix (run rounds well), gatlin (experience although i doubt he making de finals, makusha might take care of him), lemaitre, RT, carter, and frater. RT heat will be real pace.
i doubt both bledman and RT making the finals. Only one of them will get through but i hope i am wrong.
-
My point about who was in the race is that sometimes the illusion of pulling away can be skewed when it's a bunch of ducks in there. Anyhow

jai John, of course I would like Richard to win the Gold, but I also deal in reality, not blind patriotism. You say some are giving "pips to newbies", but have you stopped to think that is because those guys are demonstrating some of the same qualities that RT did when he was a newbie 3 years ago?????
Him having the fastest time does not say much. look around and find out how high or should I say low Michael Rodgers was expected to place and he had the same time as RT...
Anyways based on all the facts that are present(the form of the JAM runners, the depth of his semi-final etc.), I expect him to reach the final, but would be pleasently surprised to see him medal.

Make it four :beermug: :beermug: :beermug: :beermug:
Maybe even more. Still don't like what I saw in the QF but STILL backing the Torpedo all the way.
I'll say this. In Beijing and Berlin Thompson was able to run or equal season bests in the hottest semi both times and still knock of a 0.04/0.05 in the final. This guy has proven he can run a blazing semi and recover to go even faster in the final.
I still emphasise the point that he must NOT make any mistakes in that semi. His championship history shows that he will not make any mistakes in that semi and will make the final...this time with 100m less mileage on his legs
-
Make that 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Six.......man has bad mind and heart
-
I believe he ran a 10.3 something in the semis in Trinidad as well ...looking comfortable but not special ...but he just blew them all away in the final ..... I holding on to that. Non of the runners in this 100 metres have gone faster legally this year ...if I backing RT .??? ......make it :beermug: :beermug: :beermug: :beermug: :beermug: :beermug: :beermug: :beermug: :beermug: :beermug: ...I see the six and raise ten more !

LOL ;D
But ah being serious horse. I run that race through meh brains all how and I am struggling to see him medalling, but you know I have his backing %100.
-
i hope RT upset the form book and pull off a silver...gold would be nice ;D
as others mention he steps up in the semis and finals, hope that lane 7 don't have a negative impact.

When RT done beat Bolt later. enough man go be so surprise dey go run down federick st naked. ;D

...and between the hours of 9 to 5 as well :rotfl:
-
Richard can medal, but he has given himself a whole lot to do. He has to navigate that semi finals and to do so seems like he will have to run damn hard.
Now the fella does have determination and he sems to have the will to overcome, but will that be enough in his semi?
If he makes it to the final by finishing first or second in the semis, then I fully expect him to medal.
-
By the way, the wily old Kim Collins looks like a sure thing to make the final.

That may be true but NOT in Bolt's race. That man pulled away, looked around at about the 40 meter mark (may have been sooner) shut down with about 75 or 80 and cruised to the line at a jog....with clear daylight between him and the others.
-
I am a track and field waggonist 8) but watching RT race today, i find d man look comfortable and he was running just enough to come third. i didnt get d vibe he was struggling tho.

RACING FOR GOLD
Thompson, Bledman in 100m semis
By Kwame Laurence in Daegu
Story Created: Aug 27, 2011 at 11:49 PM ECT
Story Updated: Aug 27, 2011 at 11:49 PM ECT
Trinidad and Tobago track star Richard "Torpedo" Thompson squares off against Jamaican sensation Usain Bolt at 5.38 this morning (T&T time), in the second of three men's 100 metres semi-final heats, at the IAAF World Championships, here in Daegu, Korea.
"I am sure," Thompson told the Express, "that whatever semi-final I end up in I will have to run hard, but I am prepared to if I have to."
Heat two will also feature Bolt's teammate, Michael Frater, France's Christophe Lemaitre, American Trell Kimmons and Norway's Jaysuma Saidy Ndure. And with just two sprinters advancing automatically to the 7.45 a.m. championship race, T&T's double Olympic silver medallist will certainly require a big effort to guarantee himself a lane.
"I am in great shape, so having to repeat two hours later in the final won't be an issue."
At 5.30, Bledman will make his first World Championship 100m semi-final appearance. The 23-year-old T&T sprinter runs in heat one, against France's Jimmy Vicaut, Jamaican Yohan Blake, American Walter Dix, Great Britain's Dwain Chambers and Antiguan Daniel Bailey.
The third semi-final features another Jamaican, Nesta Carter, as well as St Kitts and Nevis' 2003 world champion Kim Collins, and American Justin Gatlin, the 2004 Olympic gold medallist.
Running in the second of seven qualifying heats, Bledman battled from behind to finish third in 10.32 seconds, earning an automatic berth in the semis. Dix (10.25) and Briton Harry Aikines-Aryeetey (10.28) finished first and second, respectively.
" I had a slight stumble at the start," Bledman explained, "but I was patient and was able to recover."
The 2011 Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Senior Championship gold medallist told the Express he has a singular focus, here in Daegu.
"I don't care if Bolt's in the race. I came here to win! That's my goal."
In heat one, Thompson had a slow start. But he, too, recovered, copping third spot in 10.34 seconds. Collins clocked 10.13 to top the field, while Kimmons was second in 10.32.
"Kim Collins got a great start. At about 60 metres I realised he was far in front, so instead of using a lot energy to try to catch him, I just focused on my form, relaxed a little bit and qualified for the next round.
"I didn't have a great start," Thompson continued. "I hope to improve on that tomorrow (today)."
Of the sprinters competing in the Daegu century, Thompson has the fastest 2011 clocking—9.85 seconds.
"I wouldn't say I'm the one to beat. Yohan Blake has been having a great season, Nesta Carter, all of those guys. So I don't consider myself the favourite at all. Bolt, obviously, we know what he's capable of, so I'm just going in there, having fun, and I want to make the final. As long as I'm on the line, then anything is possible."
Bolt was the fastest man on show in round one. The reigning champion and world record holder strolled to victory in heat one in 10.10 seconds. Blake won heat four in 10.82. And Carter clocked 10.26 to top heat five.
Bolt was very satisfied with his first round effort.
" I've been working on my start all season. I've been lacking that, but I got it perfectly in this race. That's why it looked so easy."
T&T's third entrant in the men's 100m dash, Aaron Armstrong, bowed out in the first round. The US-born sprinter was sluggish out of the lane eight blocks, leaving himself with too much work to do to secure a top-three finish in heat seven and an automatic berth in the semis. Armstrong was fifth in 10.48 seconds, finishing well behind Frater, the winner in 10.26.
"I couldn't really hear the gun," Armstrong complained. "I didn't react. It's just a horrible race for me."
After press time, last night (T&T time), Kelly-Ann Baptiste, Semoy Hackett and Michelle-Lee Ahye ran in round one of the women's 100m, Renny Quow faced the starter in the first of five men's 400m first round heats, and Cleopatra Borel was in action in the qualifying round of the women's shot put.
Tonight (T&T time), Jehue Gordon competes in the opening round of the men's 400m hurdles.

This is not a bad draw for Ouow considering the ramifications of the three semifinal format. Merritt is obviously the man not only in this heat but in the entire event but Quow can beat Borlee. He needs to take advantage of the fact that Merritt is right on his outside and go with him all the way. He did this with great effect in the Berlin semi and got automatic qualification and a PB in the process.
He cannot let Borlee in lane three run up on him on the back stretch and hope to reel him in the home straight. That could be third and I am never comfortable with this fastest loser route. the other two semis are stacked and the fastest losers may very well come from there with guys going balls out and running Season Bests

Congrats to Richard and Keston... I feel Richard will do what it takes to reach the final and i'm hoping he can push for a medal but only time will tell. Keston seems to have the right mindset, combined with a good start he can possibly make the final.
Big congrats to Renny for the sub 45 qualifier after being written off for the majority of the year. Just hope you can keep getting better.
Cleopatra made that final and congrats to her... she has some stern competition awaiting her there but still hoping she can produce her best and take home a medal.
Congrats to all three young women- KAB looked extremely comfortable and I feel she is ready.
MLA looked good too i will pleased if she has runs another PB in the semi's
and I'm sure she can.
SH I hope she can make that final

I feel MLA can make that final if Kerron(who looked to be in pain) slips up. Then it can be Myers, Osayomi/MLA... that's a long shot though- Kerron is fighter.

Yes indeed!!! pray lol. I'm hoping for a fastest loser spot for her or semoy either one. I want MLA to run a PB though 11.15 or faster that would be great for me but it depends on how the wind is its quite dodgy lol.
-
Bledman lost a place in the finals because he looking over to his left and allow Bailey to pip him at the wire steups.

my sentiments exactly... ::)
-
Huge disappointment but if you go by this year's form alone this was always a possibility. Take away Thompson's 9.85 and Bledman's 9.93 and this is no surprise.
For RT to have a reaction time of 0.206 in this situation is unforgivable. There was no margin for error and that reaction time was the biggest of many. Looked too much like the guy we saw outside Trinidad all year and not enough like the guy we saw in Port of Spain
Can't knock Bledman too much apart from that nonsensical look to the left at the tape. He had the best reaction time of all semi-finalists but yet again he seems unable to maintain form into the latter part of the season.
I Need a DRINK right now >:(

Ivet Lalova..... ;D
She look stuck up .... I'll take the 5th lol

Them fellas run badly ...RT in particular looked horrible ,,.... was hoping he would have done better because I for one wasn't going with what he did in the stadium .. he home under no pressure against men he know he could beat ... all season he inconsistent to be honest ... this seems about right based on form and consistency during the season despite us wanting more from him.
Unlucky guys better luck in the relays ... goodluck girls ... congrats to Kim Collins lol good for him ... Good run Renee looking like Renee of the old ...
Oh yeah one more thing anyone who had any ideas of Bolt being beaten is farcical ..... he is going to win with no competition and I predict he will run a 9.8XXXX my dark horse for 2nd place ... the old man ... KIM COLLINS!

ah reach! :D

Richard's start ended his race!!
Bledman's was all over the place and he didnt look relaxed at all. If he had dipped at the line properly, then he would have been in the final.
:-\

It appears to me that T&T trials always produces fast times that cannot be replicated afterwards. What is the scene with that?

Listening to Maurice Green is tough on my ears. He as smart as a dead horse.

WTF!!!!
Bolt false start!!!! ???

So much for that false start rule!!

Ato said it! Once the World Championships came around a HUGE name would get DQ'ed....and then the stupid ass false start rule will get changed

These dumb dumb commentators - why are they there?? 1.16
What an anticlimax
-
Ato said it! Once the World Championships came around a HUGE name would get DQ'ed....and then the stupid ass false start rule will get changed

Emagine 9.93 wins the Gold. Richard just run 9.85 2 weeks ago in HCF
Congrats to Kim Collins
-
Well Richard had a GLORIOUS chance at medaling...wow! What a thing.
I blaming goat mout Ato Boldon...lol he called this shit months ago....
Sorry to tell you that T&T time eh mean ah shit

Big up for Ato for saying that Bolt wasnt going to win.

From what i've read, that stadium in South Korea will never produce fast times, apparently the architecture allows for a constant head wind coming through the stretch.

So is Nestor Carter hurt??
So much for that sub-37, and sorry to say at the expense of our Caribbean brothers, T&T's chances are improving slightly in the 4x100m relay.

So much for that sub-37, and sorry to say at the expense of our Caribbean brothers, T&T's chances are improving slightly in the 4x100m relay.
Looked like it, seems like he was grimacing after 20-30m
-
"He who laughs last laughs best" has never applied to any one person in Athletics as often as it does to Ato Boldon in recent memory.
People could say what they want
Still waiting for the IOC to give him his 100m Gold from Sydney! And the NAAA should do the honourable thing and give him back his National Record!
Who vex lorse! ;D

KAB and Jeter in the 3rd semi later...

laff now, but why is it everytime we nationa trials come along we have super fast times that are NOT replicated? Things to make you go hmmmm
-
Boy, allyuh could turn on a man real quick boy, from yes RT nice run in 9.85 to give back AB his record.
Come on!!! Allyuh men analyze and over analyze the T&T race to say who ran to their ability and the distance RT had on the competition to verify the time, now the track to short, the timing wrong.
Look it is nice and warm in T&T, men had home cooking, supportive crowd and a new fast track, the time was legit. Daegu is different, headwind, humid, track not as fast, guys probably not well prepared like the Jamaicans, French, and US athletes.
It is what it is.
-

I agree!!
And re-install the timing system in the HCS
-
hahahaha I not turning on anyone. I have been questioning those times in our National Trials for a while and was booed, cussed, reported to Flex etc. because of it.
Thanks very much.
Looking at the Richard race it seems that he may have had a legit time, the distance and the times by the other runners suggest such.
However it begs the question STILL...why we have trouble replicating the times???
-

I always ask that same question even with the junior athletes

1. Nobody complaining about the legitimacy of the TT women times, and they have reproduced them so far in Daegu
2. Who knows what kind of quality prep facilities and camp TT had (or as I suspect didn't have) there.
As the Jehue fiasco goes, I am fairly sure the team managers did not walk through the entire prep and performance phases for the games to reduce the risk of the athletes being "flat" and underperforming.
Who here who has run for T&T can attest to the "deer in the headlights" approach of our officials once we get to the games village in terms of knowledge of training facilities access, etc.
I am sure some nonsense went down in the team's preparations.
-
Could be very true. They real sorry and shitty
-
The silver lining is that we now have 3 very fresh, talented and hopefully "pissed off at themselves" T&T 100m athletes, who complemented by MB, RS and EC will atone themselves later next week.
Jamaica is ever strong but without Mullings and a less than 100% Powell and Carter who knows?
The US is without Tyson Gay, and well frankly they aint the power they used to be.
France however is looking threatening as they usually have good stick, and now 2 finalist.
Let's get past this and support the women and Rene Quow tomorrow, we have a lot else to look forward to.

hard luck bolt :)

Why all the ridicule- where's the support for those who with pride represent us time after time. He went out there and did the best he could on THAT DAY. Same to Keston- only a blind person couldn't see that Richard had a horrible start yet managed to still get back to 3rd. Now all he has to do is build on this experience and get the consistency. If he remains injury free he will be better prepared for London. You could see in TnT his start was great and he had great form so I DON'T believe that the 9.85 is questionable it's just a matter of transferring the form to worlds. Having champs 2 weeks before did not help the situation and the apparent naivete of some of our officials does not help either.

You know i laughed earlier at a comment to give back Ato his record but trust me i needed the medicine of laughter at that time. On a serious note I think the problem lay in the above red quotation. Ato said it...the time of our trials would jeopardize our medal hopes and that it did. I don't think anything wrong wit d clock at HCS. Added to what STMB said...
1. Nobody complaining about the legitimacy of the TT women times, and they have reproduced them so far in Daegu
2. Who knows what kind of quality prep facilities and camp TT had (or as I suspect didn't have) there.
As the Jehue fiasco goes, I am fairly sure the team managers did not walk through the entire prep and performance phases for the games to reduce the risk of the athletes being "flat" and underperforming.

...there was also the travelling to take into consideration after having exerted so much so close Worlds. Those long trips do take away from some athletes and they take a while to feel 100%. KAB is one such athlete and she knew she wouldn't be able to cope with the rounds after it. That trip should have been the only thing our athletes had to recuperate from. No matter what form anyone is in 9.85 WILL take a toll, then South Korea ent no short trip to take a day or two right after. I'm sorry about how things turned out for RT,KB and AA but what could we expect? Let's see how the relays go. Hope the NAAA learn from this. We in a reaallll mess
-

I always ask that same question even with the junior athletes
You HAVE to wonder.
This is why immediately after the news, I asked if the Electronic board was used and if the IAAF recognizes the times. This is not the first time.
If it was about home cooking and warm weather then Ato should of run in TT more often ;-)
I am not dissing RT but I am a little suspicious of these national Champs times in TT. The consistency before and after is not always there.
Having said that, Kudos to the J'cans. There number 1 and 2 were out and they STILL win the World Championship. That is truly depth and class.

My comment about giving back Ato his record was made in half jest hence the ;D face.
However it was more obvious to the naked eye that the Richard Thompson we saw in Port of Spain was NOT the one we saw anywhere else this year. No knee lift, no power being applied to the track, no acceleration..
Let's look at the performance of Sorillo who was the other guy with an amazing performance at Trials.
BTW just on a point of order. I read above about the legitimacy of the times of our women as proof of TT Times being valid. All our women achieved their PBs and SBs going into these games outside of Trinidad so their performances cannot be used to defend TT Trials
Regardless we are the laughing stock of the track world now and quite frankly we are lucky that Bolt's DQ stole the attention from hardcore track fans in the various message boards and chat rooms. The dominant theme between semis and finals was the validity of the times being run in Trinidad.
We are too developed a nation to have a timing system showing up a 100m time as 9.46 and rounding up to 9.85. THAT is an embarrassment anyway you cut it and would NEVER happen if we invest in the best possible system and if our NAAA had ambition they would acquire the VERY best Timing Systems.
The comments some of our track officials make within earshot of people like me about their joy in knocking Ato's record off the books doesn't do anything to convince me that there aren't people with ulterior motives in influential places either. And I aint half joking about THAT statement! Hence my earlier comment

What about TT based MLA and her new PB of 11.20?? KAB will most likely run at her capacity tomorrow and I expect SH to do the same to advance.
Whenever do you hear in other countries (Guatemala, Zimbabwe, wherever) about people questioning the timing system and if the IAAF sanctions it?? Steups.
It's a clock and a camera, and as one said a rep from Lynx was there. What allyuh think it was, obeah?? Even if the trackside clock displayed 9.46 the accurate time was captured and published. If ever there was a HUMAN discrepancy it MAY be in the wind reading to go with the time.
In any case I think you all are looking for answers in the wrong place for the sprinters' poor showing.
-
STMB Right now most of us are concerned about the FAILURE of our male 100m athletes to reach the final. We not talking about the women. Sugoarcoating the problem does not solve anything. I am fed up with Trinbagonians accepting mediocracy after the fact. Richard disappointed, Bledman disappointed and Armstrong disapointed and their fans have a right to let them know !

The "TT Based' MLA ran her previous PB of 11.22 at Pan Am Juniors in Florida....not Trinidad. And track fans have questioned time all over the world before...not just Trinidad. This morning there was a joke about twinning Port of Spain, Trinidad and Eugene, Oregon :rotfl:
Everybody is entitled to their opinion but anybody who has no problem with the trackside clock displaying 9.46 clearly doesn't have the same ambition for T&T Athletics that I have. Yuh serious?!
That's like saying no problem if de Queens Park Oval scoreboard say Kieron Pollard made 401 runs when he really have 104. Or the Scoreboard at HCS shoulda say last week we beat India 8-0. No problems...the referee had de real score. See how ridiculous that is?
The Ministry of Sport just invested in our first Class One Track...one they boasted was the best in the region. I really hope they didn't spend 9million of taxpayers dollars on a track just to host Hampton Games. In fact I'd like to think that investment was made so T&T can host CARIFTA Games, Pan Am Juniors, World Youth, World Juniors, CAC Seniors, IAAF Grand Prix meets, etc.
You think we getting to host those meets when we rounding up 100m times by four tenths?! I don't know bout some ah allyuh but I love Trinidad and Tobago and I love track and field. And is time we have some damn AMBITION!
If we could afford to spend 9million on a Porplastic Track when Mondo was giving we for less than 6 Million then we could spend on a top of the line Meet Management System that gives us the athletes time as soon as they cross the line. Not interested in settling for second best!

Who's sugarcoating? Who's accepting mediocracy? The best you all could come up with for the poor showing of sprinters is that the timing system at TT national champs was faulty? And I am the one sugarcoating? Like you didn't read right. What I said was instead of blaming the clock (discounted argument based on the fact that the women have reproduced their TT times in the same track and same clock as the men) let's dig further to find out why the men were so unprepared when it counted. Read nah!!! Then think of a true solution, not talking crap.

Semoy Hackett was the 8th fastest overall, but she was the 3rd fastest loser and they were only chosing the top 2.

Well done Kelly-Ann just bring it in the final!!! I just want her to medal just medal!!! Unfortunate for Semoy because she was the 8th fastest but because Myers was an automatic qualifier she takes her spot. Commendable run by Michelle hmm i hope a great coach spots her- she had a poor start yet managed to come back and basically finish 3rd... 3rd-11.47 4th-11.48 5th(MLA)-11.48.

Meh....I called it as I saw it. One could not OBJECTIVELY look at her rounds and not call SAFP to medal but SAFP stumbled and that was it for her. I will not use that to downplay KAB's run. She is only responsible for herself and executed well under pressure.

Congrats KAB!
As one of the youngest competitors in the final we have a lot to look forward to!
Keep it up!

Always thought she would medal. For a second there I thought she got silver. GREAT RUN!!!

Disappointing run from Quow !
I think he took a gamble at a new strategy. He was up and right in the mix after 300-320m instead of laying behind as he usually does. He ran out of steam in the part of the race where he is usually the strongest.
I think it was a courageous display by him given the opposition he was facing, to risk it all to make it into the final, but it did not pan out.
With some drastic form correction (to stay more relaxed, especially in the last 100m) and better tactical balance of pace, he'll be back in the finals next year.
-
Boy, allyuh could turn on a man real quick boy, from yes RT nice run in 9.85 to give back AB his record.
Come on!!! Allyuh men analyze and over analyze the T&T race to say who ran to their ability and the distance RT had on the competition to verify the time, now the track to short, the timing wrong.
Look it is nice and warm in T&T, men had home cooking, supportive crowd and a new fast track, the time was legit. Daegu is different, headwind, humid, track not as fast, guys probably not well prepared like the Jamaicans, French, and US athletes.
It is what it is.

Interesting observation! Maybe the NAAA needs to concentrate their talent scouting and track & field programme in Tobago as it is likely to bear good fruit!
Or could it be that youngsters in Trinidad have too many distractions and are just not as hungry and disciplined to apply themselves to athletics as youngsters in Tobago?

I honestly think Shelley-Ann was trying "to catch cobo alive". All the time we feel she injured. She get the best start and was bolting down the track. But Jeter,KAB, the silver medalist catch she. But she fast. If KAB just keep that form for London. It would be great for our first Olimpic medal for the LADIES.

Young pretenders and a proven pro
By Fazeer Mohammed
Story Created: Aug 28, 2011 at 11:34 PM ECT
What are the excuses now?
I'm sure our man in Daegu (and everywhere else our athletes have competed over the past 15 years at major championships), Kwame Laurence, will have the comments of Richard Thompson and Keston Bledman included in his report on day two of the World Athletics Championships elsewhere in this sports section.
But after proving he had form like dirt in lowering the national record to 9.85 seconds just over two weeks ago at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, and confirming that he was in peak fitness following the heats on Saturday, what could have gone so wrong that Thompson couldn't even make it to the final of the men's 100 metres yesterday in South Korea? Bledman's semi-final time of 10.14 was actually better than Thompson's (10.20), but he was also eliminated at that stage because he happened to be in the fastest of the three "semis," being edged out by Daniel Bailey of Antigua/Barbuda even though both were credited with the same time. Competing in Florida just under three months ago, Bledman returned a personal best clocking of 9.93. So what's the story?
Of course, we already have the explanation of Aaron Armstrong for his abysmal effort in the first round heats, where he clocked 10.48 seconds, which, by the way, is just one-hundredth of a second faster than the 23-year-old women's world record time set by the late Florence Griffith-Joyner of the United States at the 1988 Olympic trials. He said he didn't hear the starter's pistol. I'm sure he would have heard it loud and clear if the race was in Port of Spain, where the only noise these past few days has been the "Bad John" rantings of the Attorney General at midday media conferences.
Every actor loves a stage.
It's being suggested that Usain Bolt was too busy loving up the big stage ahead of the 100-metre final and that the resultant lack of concentration contributed to the false start and sensational elimination. But the gallerying didn't appear all that different from what we saw in any of his triple gold medal-winning performances in Beijing or at the World Championships two years ago in Berlin...and we all loved it, except of course the perpetually sour president of the International Olympic Committee, Jacques Rogge.
Not surprisingly, the modified false start rule, which immediately penalises the offender, has now come into focus with silver medallist Walter Dix of the United States incredulous that the larger-than-life Bolt was thrown out of the event. But that shouldn't matter, should it? The rule is supposed to be the same across the board, whether the offender is the biggest name in athletics today or Sogelau Tuvalu, the slowest of the competitors in the preliminary round, although the American Samoan's time of 15.66 was a personal best.
What yesterday's big showdown also emphasised is the ominous strength in depth in Jamaican sprinting these days. They've been world class for more than 60 years over 400 and 200 metres. Now though, the mind boggles at the phenomenal talent that is coming to the fore over the blue riband distance.
Asafa Powell, the fastest man this year, is ruled out with injury. Bolt, the record-breaking defending champion and flamboyant showman of the track, is disqualified. No problem man. Up comes 21-year-old Yohan Blake to take the gold in 9.92 seconds and leave the rest of the world wondering what's in store later on at this meet and what is to come at the Olympics next year in London.
One competitor who will definitely be looking forward to London 2012 is the evergreen Kim Collins. Having retired from the sport following a disappointing 2009 World Championships outing, the mild-mannered man from St Kitts/Nevis felt he still had it in him for a return to the top flight at the start of this year.
And yesterday's bronze medal effort (10.09) behind Blake and Dix confirms that he has made the right decision. Collins will be 36 years old when, if all goes according to plan, he lines up in the heats of the 100 metres at the Olympics in 11 months' time. His story reinforces the adage that form is temporary but class is permanent. That class extends not just to his running style but his overall demeanour on and off the track.
Like Namibia's Frankie Fredericks, another long-serving gentleman sprinter who now serves as an Olympic spokesperson in his retirement, Collins is living proof that nice guys can finish first, or second, or third, even at an age when most would have hung up their spikes for good. More than his lengthening string of achievements (including World Championships gold in 2003 and the Commonwealth Games title the year before), the Kittitian will be remembered, whenever he finally calls it a day, as a decent, erstwhile competitor who brought honour and glory to himself and his tiny country.
Yesterday's effort would have also provided a welcome distraction for his fellow countrymen at a time when the people of St Kitts/Nevis are grappling with a rising level of crime and gang-related violence. We may steups at 17 murders for the year so far (the total for all of last year was 23), but if that murder rate were applied to our population, which is at least 30 times larger, 510 people would have already lost their lives to acts of violence here in 2011.
So Collins has brought his people welcome good news, while we wonder what went wrong in Daegu.

I disagree with what you projecting here..I am glad Fazeer is calling out Thompson and Bledman on their failures. The media should not ignore what happened...KAB sucess deserves a different article. This article is not about her.
I hope yuh not saying because Kelly Ann did well the media must not report on the disappointing runs from our men

i think it was an accident. robles was close to the right side of his lane and xiang was close to the left side. since they were neck and neck in the race, it was easy for the contact to happen. if robles was in xiang lane and xiang in robles lane i doubt there would have been contact. it is a real hard luck for xiang since he would have won that race.
i cant lay claim to know what was going on in robles head, he could have realized xiang about to pass him and "accidentally" had contact with him. my point is robles and xiang could both argue their case and have strong points. i bet yuh going forward xiang stay in the middle of his lane when racing. robles might do the same as well.

What utter rubbish , look at all the clippings of robles race , that is his running style his hands are always in that position , so this talk that the man did it intentionally is real crap, You know how much skills it takes to maintain your balance and be able to concentrate on holding the other runner back , without holding . Utter Bullshit , I think the IAAF messed up by disqualifying him , it was a honest accident , the best thing would be to run over the race.

fingers crossed for jehue
but did kerron clement come last? he fell or something? 8)

Jehue 3rd just.. we have to wait to see if he made it

:( by 0.01 he misses out. well done and get ready for 4x400m and next year.

Just look at the video of the 400 H semifinal. Jehue obviously lost his rhythm after the last hurdle, couldn't maintain his form and opened the door for Sanchez to pip him on the line. Lesson to be learn ed!

Hard luck there for Jehue. Come back stronger and wiser next year yute!!!
On another note, congratulation to the Kirani James. Wrold Champion at 18 :beermug: :beermug:

To me since they out "clear" the USA contingent is basically an after thought. No ne to fear really. What's up with that?

I am convinced that you are a blind man. If that is the requsite skills and he did not have it then his ass should be dq'ed. And looking at that race he was deliberate inhis grabbing..YOU CANNOT convince me otherwise! he tief de chinee ah de gold medal! Dais a FACT!
-
Before you get on so irate , Maybe you should look at many of robles races, Does his hand position change , look at it first before you make your wild and careless accusations. Nothing does not upset me more that pure ignorance, After you look at the races and see the findings and start to realise that you have acted like an ignorance Ass , then you should do the right thing and apologize. Yuh Ass
-
Even in that race before they touched over the last hurdle you can see in the 2 hurdles he made before his hand action is the same , one hand cuffs going back, same motion, nothing different , but you in your own deluded mind come to a conclusion that the man whole him back , are you thinking about what you would do in that situation and think he will do the same. Let every one look at the videos and they will see " Oh what an arse you are " :cursing:
-
So wait nah ONLY TWO of our athletes make final so far ? hmmm I know we still have mens and womens 200m but ah expected better. some of our athletes who failed to make final have made finals in recent years and failed to run anywhere close to their season best

Well America has won GOLD in the womens 100m and the womens Long Jump already...and they won other medals in different events. I think they are sill leading the rest of the world at the moment. Keep in mind we are only mid-way through the competition

Don't agree that Quow & Gordon fail miserably! In both their cases they gave creditable performances but were up against better quality opposition than the last time round!
If you were following up things closely you would have appreciated by now that they haven't failed miserably as you have described. Check some of the times they ran during the current World’s and you will see that they have both run near to or their actual season's best during the rounds and were unlucky not to have progressed to the final!
Also note they all including RT still have a decent chance to try for medals again in the relays.
Don’t be so negative man; some of our athletes actually check this forum to see if the fans are giving them love and appreciating their efforts! :beermug:

So what?! Let’s be realistic!! Do any of our athletes other than KAB have consistent world best times for the year leading up to the World’s?! No they don't! So as I see it we have gotten as good performances from our athletes so far as can be reasonably expected looking at their seasons this year building up to the Worlds!
You can sit there and moan and moan and criticise like if you can do any better if you were in any of our athlete’s shoes!!
As I pointed out the games isn't over yet and we can still win a couple more medals with some luck to add to our medal count!
Look here, even JA is having a bad games so far by their standards but they are still optimistic that things will improve for them in the medal count!
T&T is not Jamaica where athletics is concern so we need to be realistic!
But take win as I don’t have the time. I’ve already taken the horse to the water!!

Good luck to Semoy Hackette and Kai Selvon in the 200m
For some reason I don't see Hackette listed in the startlist for any of the heats!
Either she is injured or our famous NAAA forgot to register her for the 200m heats!! :-\
If she is injured it will also affect our womens 4 x 100m relay team! :(

Yuh right could be either one (maybe she pulled out of the 200m for reasons we dont know) Our media should be on top of this

Kai Selvon is thru to the semi-finals of the 200m with a new PB of 22.89, placed 3rd in her heat.

Kai Selvon is thru to the quater-finals of the 200m with a new PB of 22.79, placed 3rd in her heat.
I know she would have to run a PB or something close to her PB to advance. Good for her..she did what was necessary for her ..

We not last! We joint 21st of 211 (TWO HUNDRED AND ELEVEN) countries that took part in the Championship! Common people. That puts us better than about 90 percent of participating nations
Tell them that for me. but I is on kicks fellas. With the exception of Greneda and probably Latvia we eh doing badly. The Brits complaining they doing good. The Yanks don't like to win silver and bronze. The Cubans complaining. Everybody complaining. The competition tough. That is how it should be. Actually we eh doing to badly. Probably 2 more medals who knows. Nigeria eh win, Argentina eh win? Whey Canada? Whey the Aussie? Whey India?

Good point there about the seeding. It was very disproportionate. Howver that still does not excuse our poor runnning and exchanges. We lost atleast 1 second on just the exchanges.
-
My bad. I did not realize those were actually semi-finals and not just heats.
I believe a sprinter quarter miler was needed on that second leg to get better positioning and run a solid leg, ie Lalonde Gordon. Solomon lost a lot of ground in that first 100m along with our chances of qualifying. Have no clue why Gordon did not compete in the 400m in the trials. But some in here (including myself) believe he should have been included in the team for just these kinds of situations. Not sure a different TT team would have run sub-3:01 in any case. That was tough going.

That's right. There are no excuses for the poor runnning from T&T. I bet even now meh boy Socapro will admit T&T performances were very sub-par.

If my memory is correct, we only have one time better than the 3:02 that we clocked this morning. The team performed as well as it has been performing for the past 3-4 years

Kai ran very well...very well indeed.

Kai ran very well...very well indeed.
I second this. Take away that monster headwind and she PB's again. Good going from her and it bodes well for our 4x100m team.
-
After just looking at the men's 400mH final, I really feel for Jehue. Third and fourth was 48.80 and 48.87 respectively. Times that were definitely within his reach. Even then winning time was 48.26 which is his PR, but he did not show that kind of form this season.
-
In that 4x4, that 2nd leg was woeful. We needed a real speedster. Jeez. Back to the drawboard for some serious analysis.

My argument isn't about some of our athletes' performances not being sub-par; it’s about the reasons why some of them are giving sub-par performances and whether or not our athletes are all giving the best they can at this point in time! Please don't get things tied-up, use your intelligence!

If there was such a race as a 100m run around a bend then Callendar would be a potential medallist in all those races!
His best role is running the 3rd leg of a 4 x 100m relay! Anything else and you're asking for regular disappointment!

Good run Sorillo. I feel like if he runclose to his PB in the semi final he will make the final. Correct me if am wrong but is he not also from Tobago ?

Didn't you say correct me if am wrong? So I corrected you!!
You are not an average idiot, are you?! Where did I argue about tiredness?! Show me the quote! Plus its only the 1st round anyway and as I said in a previous post, running at National Trials so close to Worlds will not negatively affect all the athletes but it will negatively affect some or most!
If anything is suffering from tiredness it is your brain! At any rate peaking for a major championship & tiredness are two different things entirely but I don't expect you to understand that and won’t waste my time trying to explain.
I think you should throw in the towel now and save embarrassing yourself again for the umpteenth time!!
Oh $hit, it’s too late, my bad!! :-X
-
Airman I don't think Rondell would be as tired because he's had more time to ready himself physically and mentally than those who ran the 100m plus the 200m in Trinidad is a sure win for him and is no where near as competitive as the 100m so he actually shut it down with about 20/30m to go at our national champs. I would love for Richard/marc/keston to hop in and give him a good run for his money. It would help them.
-
Let we say a quick pray for Sorrillo. The last semi is about to to be run and he is sitting on the bubble right now as the slowest of the two fastest losers that qualify.

Sorillo made it as fasted loser

Well done Veronica Campbell-Brown on your first ever 200m WC Gold. Who on here was doubting me????

I did... I think the difference was Veronica had the 200m championship experience unlike jeets. Jeets tied up whereas Veronica just maintained through the line. Jeets could have caused the upset but she pressed but Congrats to Vcb on that championship gold finally.

There were rounds, but it was in Trinidad with our "top class" timing system.
I feel if kellyann did come here for our trials, she woulda run 10.6x

New Hasley Crawford Stadium Track:
I believe we now have a faster than usual track at home (the new track just laid) so once our athletes get a favourable wind, coupled with the home crowd support and good home cooking before they compete then they are likely to run near to or surpass their season and personal bests at home!
That doesn't mean the electronic timing equipment is faulty! HCS now simply has one of the faster tracks around the world that an athlete can run on.
Daegu Stadium Track:
The track at Daegu Korea is supposed to be fast but because of the stadium design the winds are hardly ever favourable for athletes competing in both the 100m & 200m events!
This is bared out by the times run by all the top sprinters in the 100m & 200m races so far in Daegu!
Very few have run their season's or personal bests and the ones who have done so always have a decent favourable wind!
Summary:
Considering the above, it’s not easy for the T&T athletes to reproduce the times they produced at home (at the T&T National Trials a few weeks ago) at the stadium in Daegu as the conditions are different but this doesn’t mean that all the electronic times recorded at home are incorrect!
Halsely Crawford Stadium now simply has one of the fastest tracks around so once wind conditions are right and athletes are in top shape then records can regularly be broken at home!
-
Absolutely hate the winds in Daegu- they're killing the times!

Congrats to Rondell. Go for it !!!!!!

Rondell Sorrillo (born 24 January 1986 in La Brea, Siparia) is a Trinidad and Tobago sprinter, who specializes in the 200 meters. From Wiki. They have to decide where he from. La Brea(on the west coast) is some ways from Siparia(inland and east of LaBrea). So wha happen, everything must be from Tobago, now. Give South a bligh nah. I on kix!!!!!

If I was Jamaican I would be raving mad right now with their anchor man!! >:(
Here Oral Tracy's sports commentary on the performance of the JA's 4 x 400m relay anchor man!
http://www.televisionjamaica.com/Programmes/SportsCommentary.aspx/Videos/12094
no throw away there he ran a smart race but that american lashawn merritt was just to strong ....
cosign
-
Sorrillo was 7th and last in 20.34, but he ran his heart out. Not much one can do from lane 1 in the deuce.
Bolt trumps them all in 19.40. Fourth fastest time ever.

Sorrillo may need to put on some more muscle if he wants to improve and make the Olympics 200m final next year!
In fact both Rondel & Richard need to hit the weights gym to put on some more muscle between now and next year! They both need to generate more power in their races to run consistently faster and start being regular medal contenders in their specialist event.
In addition Richard may need to run more 200ms and Rondel may need to run more 100ms next season which should help them both get the required improvement in their specialist event, 100m & 200m respectively.

socapro,
ppl saying RT should run more 200s years now and it not happening...i would like to know his reasoning for ignoring the 200s. i agree he and sorillo need to do more gym work.

Men's & Women's 4 x 100m Relay Heats & Finals today!!
Here is the link to the startlist for the women's heats!
http://daegu2011.iaaf.org/ResultsByDate.aspx?racedate=09-04-2011/sex=W/discCode=4X1/combCode=hash/roundCode=h/startlist.html#detW_4X1_hash_h
There will be 3 Heats and T&T is in the 2nd Heat competing against the likes of Ukraine, Russia & Great Britain.
Only top 2 teams guaranteed to go thru to final and hopefully the T&T women can be one of them.
Allyuh notice that there is a Caribbean team in each of the 3 heats and we have each been given lane 2 to run in?
Is that a coincidence!? Let’s hope lane 2 is the lucky lane for all 3 Caribbean teams and we each finish in the top 2!
And here is the link to the startlist for the men's heats!
http://daegu2011.iaaf.org/ResultsByDate.aspx?racedate=09-04-2011/sex=M/discCode=4X1/combCode=hash/roundCode=h/startlist.html#detM_4X1_hash_h
Again there are 3 Heats and T&T is in the 2nd Heat this time competing against the likes of Jamaica, St Kitts, Japan & Germany. Only top 2 teams guaranteed to go thru to final and hopefully the T&T men can be one of them.
Allyuh notice that for the men's 4 x 100m relay heats how they put all the Caribbean teams in the same heat?
Guess they don't want all the Caribbean teams who entered to make the final!
And talking about Caribbean teams I'm surprised the Bahamas hasn't qualified/fielded a men's 4 x 100m relay team!
Anyhow, good luck to both our women's & men's 4 x 100m relay teams for later today!
Hope you can both make it to the finals and it will be nice to see T&T claim two more medals so we can come back home with the same number of medals as we won in the last worlds.
At any rate our NAAATT needs some shaking up as we could be doing much better!
Too many embarrassing mistakes from them!!

i cant recall bahamas fielding 4x100 men relay teams on a regular. from what i remember it was men 4x4, women 4x1 and women 4x4

the only decent sprinter i could recall in recent times was derrick atkins. i heard atkins is some kinda cousin of asafa but i dont know if that is true.

Dem gyul just mash up de national record and won our semi..................... 42.50!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Semoy to MLA clean up their exhange we could go faster yet.

-
What did I say 42.5 they would be running.... they just have to do that in the final and better.I didn't want MLA anchoring but I'm happy bout the time.
-
We have the 3rd fastest time of all the teams that qualified for the final. Praying we can keep that position after the final :praying:
Now time for the men.....allyuh have some serious making up to do. Leh we go!!!!
-
Alright....alright. We looking good. Won our heat against JAM in 37.91!!!!!!!!
Squad was Bledman-Burns-Armstrong-Richard. I would be lying if I said I was really comfortable with Armstrong on that leg, but he did a solid job just now. Richard was not all out, so we can approach our NR of 37.62...

A caribbean 1, 2, 3 in our semi! I hope St Kitts gets in

Just missed out- didn't want Michelle on the anchor but it was not to be- we learn. Hopefully we can build on this. Michelle will hopefully get picked up by a better coach and improvements will be made. It was the 2nd to 3rd pass so its not necessarily the 2 most experience that will do the best. Semoy is not used to 3rd. Well done to them

I hear ya...Despite the pass our anchor rec'd the baton in 3rd place and we needed an anchor who cud either run down who in front or hold off who coming. That IMO was KAB and only KAB. I think it's only Trinidad who did not have their strongest runner on the anchor leg.

Unnelievable what happened to the men!

OMG!!!!

Unnelievable what happened to the men!
WHAT HAPPENED????????????????
i missed it
-
da race should be run over man!!! ppl cud fall into ppl lane so?
Aviator? The connoisseurs? we have no grounds dey boy? Jus hard luck???
-
US fell into our lane. We went from 3rd to 6th in a flash
-
Harry AA (GBR)'s arm caught Darvis Patton...Patton fell lengthways and tripped up Richard Thompson...Thompson did amazingly well to even receive the baton given the circumstances, but lost all his momentum...just damn bad luck
-
Well yes, the third leg baton put us behind after a good start, then the fourth baton change kill us off after US bounce GBR and then US fall over into our lane.
Ah well.

ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! >:( >:( >:(

shouldnt they be disqualified for that????????

Though we came up short this was invaluable experience for MLA heading into 2012.
With more strength and maturing of KS, SH and MLA, we will be a definite medal contender
-

Looks as though Bledman stumbled out of the blocks losing distance to JA and USA

I think either Semoy or Kelly could have held her. Kelly would have had to catch her and pass her which she could have done. Semoy could have held her. She was faster than her this year but we can only look forward to what's in store from both of our teams.

Well it's a catch 22. If KAB wasn't there to run a strong 2nd leg we wouldn't have gotten the baton in 3rd

http://www.youtube.com/user/czatletika#p/u/0/D8MS31RQJhY
here is the race
Beginning to think Doc Patton is blighted. How many relays gone wrong by error or bad luck for the US has he been in??
-
http://www.youtube.com/user/czatletika#p/u/0/D8MS31RQJhY
totally facked up
-
Yes stmb if we didn't have Kelly to do some catching on second on that long leg there would be no 4th. It's just that it was so close and we COULD have got it because we beat them in the semi. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE NEED TO HAVE OUR TEAMS PRACTICE AT MEETS LIKE THE PENN RELAYS. NAAA LEARN FROM THIS PLEASE I BEG! The men's relay is hurting me- Harry AA rid yuhself of some size please!
-
I was scared when I saw our Men were sandwiched by Jamaica and USA....especially next to the USA.
Darvis 'Doc' Patton should be banned from relays. Trouble follows this guy in Relays seemingly every major championship now. At first glance it seems like Armstrong was exposed though and I saw Gatlin reeling in Burns too. Need to watch the race again
I think this team woulda got bronze behind JAM and USA had it not been for that mishap.
Well done to the ladies. This race was like Edmonton 2001 for our men. These ladies will be a force to be reckoned with for a while. The team was structured right IMHO. The Ukranian anchor is just faster than MLA. She was catching her in the semis too. Nothing for these women to be ashamed of at all
I guess this Men's Relay summarized just how our championship went. Lots of questions to be answered between now and London
-
I think gatlin wasnt reeling in marc as much as we may have thought. The lead the Usa had on us from first leg and the better baton pass made appear that he had run him down badly. Next time guys next time. Hopefully champs won't be 2 weeks b4 next year.
True it's an incredible experience for Kai and Michelle. Couldn't have asked for a better thing plus we got the baton around. Yeh the Ukraine girl was faster. I just want Michelle to get better technically she will be leaving her for sure next time.
-
As long as you have people who don't get it this will continue to happen. The men were unlucky. Not their fault, they would have had another medal.
-
The USA and Jamaican teams were way in front by the 3rd leg! The change over between Burns and Armstrong removed us from any kind of contention for Gold and Silver.
Hard luck to us though, that was an easy bronze medal. I am excited about the women. Congrats on the world record.
Question: Is being in the outside lane a benefit in the 4x100m??
Lane 8 and 1 (away from all the mayhem) got silver and bronze while 3, 4, and 5 finished down the field.

We definitely passed the baton much better in the Semis than in the Final! Hardluck guys!!

Our 4 x 1 men could easily have picked up a bronze in that final if Richard was not impeded by the falling USA athlete on the final exchange! Hardluck to the guys!! Maybe Darrel Brown was our good luck charm in the men’s 4 x 100m relay after all! Hope he’s makes the team next year for Olympics if he is injury free & running the 100m ‘A’ qualifying standard!
-
The late Nationals, and the issues in the administration, really set the tone for a dismal world championship performance. We missed out on an additional 3-4 possible medals.
This championships was a coming out party for the womens sprints. Good performance by the girls. Hard luck for the men.
-
Like allyuh fail to realize that kelly and semoy had a horrible exchange this is why we were put in such a position. But hey shit happens next yr will be better
-
Had we better 1st and 2nd legs (start & hand-offs) we would have been in front of the USA according to the expected stagger and would not have had the mishap we had.
I wonder if the team coach(es) were diligent in the pre-race, going over tactics and risks: no false starts, must have a strong first leg, clean hand-offs, focus on your lane, be prepared for evasive actions, etc etc. I hate this "well it was bad luck" thing. Great teams prepare for most eventualities, even those that are less likely to happen.
On another note, big up to St. Kitts & Nevis. With a population of just over 50,000 (making the Bahamas look like a continent), this little nation got 2 bronze medals, a great achievement in terms of medals per capita.

Congrats to all the Caribbean countries who won medals, i.e. T&T, Bahamas, St Kitts, Grenada, Cuba & of course regional leaders Jamaica who placed 4th overall with a handsome 9 medals, well done to them!!
I think for Olympics T&T should be in the hunt for medals from both our men and women in the 4 x 100m relays!! Would like to see our 4 x 400m relay step up to the mark as well as the potential is also there for team to make the 4 x 400m relay final and contest for a medal as well come next year!!

Our 4 x 1 women could have easily won bronze if they were afforded a little more practice by our NAAA but well done to them!! Now our NAAA know what they need to do between now & Olympics or do they?! ::)
Someone somewhere must have done something right, because in both the semifinal and final the ladies ran well over half a second faster than they ever had before
-
My Summary
What a sad end to the World Champs for T&T, especially considering that this is our independence weekend. Bad luck was on our side the moment the Nationals were switched to August.
The mens relay team seems to be reaching their twilight. I know it was not their fault. Just a case of misfortune. The womens team is on the opposite end. Lots of promise for the years to come.
Mens 4x100 was a shock to us just like Bolt's DQ to Jamaica. Socapro you might be on to something.... they shouldnt have left their good luck charm!
Overall, we have a lot to look forward to in London. I hope the NAAA surprises us next year with better decision making in the selection of the team and better preparation to support the athletes. I feel we will make up for our losses in London.

That was mainly due to us having quicker individuals. Kelly was a lot more consistent this year running sub 11 add to that an improved semoy hackett and two more 11.2 young ladies and you have yourself a sub 43s team. They will be going much faster next year I think.

My Summary
Overall, we have a lot to look forward to in London. I hope the NAAA surprises us next year with better decision making in the selection of the team and better preparation to support the athletes. I feel we will make up for our losses in London.
Wishful thinking. I'm less optimistic, apart from with the women. I think we are in to a 'golden era' of women sprinting!

Wishful thinking. I'm less optimistic, apart from with the women. I think we are in to a 'golden era' of women sprinting!
I think the men can recover come Olympics and we can definitely have at least 1 finalist in the individual 100m and medal in the 4 x 100m relay. Also keep in mind how well Sorrillo did to make the 200m final.
Both Richard and Rondel need to put on a bit more muscle for next year in time for Olympics! Richard should run more 200ms & Rondel should run more 100ms! If they both do this and remain injury free next season then they could each be finalists and medal contenders in their specialist event next year! I also think if RT concentrates on running more 200ms as well he could well end up being in the 200m final in addition to the 100m final if all goes well!
I think come Olympics we can positively hope for finalists in all these T&F events:-
MEN
100m - RT & KB
200m - RS
400m - RQ
100mH - WD (youngster who just switched from the USA to T&T, has Trini parents)
400mH - JG
4 x 100m relay
4 x 400m relay (possible if one or two of our quarter milers improve and we pick the best team)
WOMEN
100m - KAB & SH
200m - KAB & KS (KAB needs to train for 200m as well come Olympics & she'll definitely make the final)
400mH - Lucas (If she has an injury free season next year)
4 x 100m relay
Shotput
I think our men's 4 x 400m team has a lot of potential to do much better come Olympics and hopefully qualify for the relay final but I think the NAAA needs to get their act together for everything to fall into place for Olympics!!
The NAAA should also be supporting pushing more T&T athletes to train hard for the other field events like long jump, high jump, etc and send them out more regularly to meets to compete with other world class field athletes!!
I would also like to see some heads rolls at the NAAA especially for the fiasco that happened with Jehue in the hurdles! These embarrassing problems with the NAAA seem to be ongoing and someone needs to be held responsible!
-
Highs, lows and hmms
Some highs:
Women
-KAB establishing herself as a medal contender
-MLA pb good experience
-KS pb & NJR good experience
-SH good exposure (Should be able to turn pro next year)
-4x100 Definitely a medal contender for next year (Ato said they are years from this)
Men
-RS making the final in the 200 (Should be in the 20.0s range for Olympics)
Lows:
Women
- No JL or JB in 400mh. JB should have at least been on the team
Men
-No Trini in the 100m final
-No medal in the 100m final (Considering no AP, TG and UB disq)
-No finalist in 400m
-No finalist in 400mh (I think the fiasco took away some of JG's concentration)
-The Brit and Yankee bump 4x100
Hmms
-What if LG was on the 4x400 mens teams?
-What if MB was chosen to run the 100m instead of AA?
-What if this fiasco with JG did not take place?
-What if the womens 4x100 team ran a different order?
-What if we were in lane 2 or 6?
Hard time for T&T track and field.
I think next year our 4x400 team will mature enough to make the final. It will be interesting with LG added to the mix. Also, Cedenio is on pace to run very high 45s or low 46s next year.

I think Semoy Hackett could be a potential finalist next year! Remember she was 8th quickest this time around- with the added experience and training of next year she SHOULD make that final and she SHOULD be running 11.0x consistently she may even dip under 11 on one or 2 occasions.

100mH - The youngster who just switched from the USA to T&T (Trini parents)
With an English father (of the 2 parents) who is her primary handler, I doubt it very much.
If she was 3rd or 4th rung in the new crop of UK sprinters, maybe, but she is the darling and future of UK sprinting.

I will do what I can but isn't it not the job of our NAAA to make contact with her and try to sway her over to running for us?!

I now watch the final day on NBC. I blasted vex! Damn Brits and Yanks, why they couldn't fall down in the next direction? Hard luck Ladies, good race.

The words Darvis Patton is probably like two brand new swear words that is being popularly used right now by all the members of the Men's T&T 4 x 100m relay team especially Richard!!
I wonder if Richard is ever going to talk to that chap again?! :-\
Darvis Patton is like the Mr. Bean of the sprint relays, why does USA persist with him?! >:(

Allyuh blaming the wrong person, The brit, Harry Aikines-Ayreetey lean out of his lane on the turn and Patton run into him, and fall over into RT
The Brit was in his own lane! It’s just that he is so large (built like a body builder) and Mr. Bean (Darvis Patton) bounced off his shoulder/arm as he was running in and fell over into RT's lane on his right thus impeding RT by causing him to slow down and jump over to avoid tripping up!
Look at the video below and you will see that the Brit was standing in his own lane it’s just that he is too large and so was picking up too much space!
http://www.youtube.com/v/DSI1eR3jTvs
Mr. Bean (Darvis Patton) is just a relay accident waiting to happen! This is about the 3rd or 4th time in a row that he's had an accident for the USA relay team at a major championship!
-
hard luck for the men and well done women. so close to 2 bronze medalss.

Congrats on the effort, we'll do better in London next year.

I think for Olympics T&T should be in the hunt for medals from both our men and women in the 4 x 100m relays!! Would like to see our 4 x 400m relay step up to the mark as well as the potential is also there for team to make the 4 x 400m relay final and contest for a medal as well come next year!!

A look back at World Championships in Daegu - Did you know?
Friday, 25 November 2011 08:08 By Clayton Clarke, tobtrackmed@gmail.com
Did you know?
Veronica Campbell-Brown is now the joint third on the all-time female medal winners at the World Championships. The 200m champion collected her ninth medal when she anchored Jamaica to a runner-up spot behind the USA in the 4x100m relay finals at this year's World Championships in Daegu, South Korea in September. Campbell-Brown’s collection: 2 gold, 7 silver puts her behind Jamaican great Merlene Ottey(14), Allyson Felix (USA) on 10 and ties with Jearl Miles (USA) 9. Felix arrived in Daegu on six medals (all gold) and was going for four more but was denied in the women’s 400m (2nd place) and failed to captured her fourth straight 200 title after ended up third behind VCB and 100m champion Carmelita Jeter. Felix, however, returned to help the US to victories in the women’s 4x100m and 4x400m relays to tally 8 gold, one silver and one bronze.
Did you know?
Kirani James(GRN) is the youngest ever winner of the men's 400m title at 18 years 363 years. He replaces Jeremy Wariner (USA) who was 21 years 193 days when he took the 2005 title. James is now the third youngest male World champion. Only Kenyans 5000m champions Ismael Kirui (18 years 277 days in 1993) and Eliud Kipchoge (18 years 299 days in 2003) are younger title holders than the Grenadian. James also uniquely holds the World Youth, Junior and Senior one lap titles.
Did you know?
Kim Collins (SKN) joins Jamaican Danny Mc Farlane with most appearances (9) along with Canadian Tim Berrett and Spaniard Jesus Angel Garcia. Collins also competed in the men’s 100m for a record ninth time. The 2003 World Champion made his debut in the 1995 edition and is among three sprinters who have won three medals in the event. The 35 year old collected bronze in Daegu to join triple champions and former world record holders Carl Lewis and Maurice Greene, both of the USA. Collins also became the oldest medalist with his third place finish in the South Korean capital eclipsing the previous age of 33 years by Linford Christe (GBR) who was 33 years when he won the 1993 World title.
Did you know?
The Caribbean swept the sprints taking the men’s 100(Yohan Blake-Jamaica) 200 (Usain Bolt-Jamaica) and 400m (Kirani James-Grenada) events for the first time ever at the global meet.
Did you know?
Usain Bolt (Jamaica) won his seventh WC medal when he anchored Jamaica's men's 4x100m team to gold in world record time. His tally is now five gold, two silver and puts him in third with Ethiopian long distance star Haile Gebrselassie and behind Americans Carlos Lewis (10) and Michael Johnson (8). Bolt has set three World record at the World Championships.
