Thread for for the 2011 World Championships

[jusbless]

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

[jusbless]

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 "

[Sando prince]

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

[AirMan]

Where's all the American Athletes?

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

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

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!

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!

In your eyes i am negative because you are used to acceting mediocracy from our athletes. you really talking bout giving love and appreciating efforts ? Dude these are professional athletes who have to run to standards, NOT high school athletes you going to run and hug when they make mistakes and tell them everything ok. You can try and twist and turn how much you want but its obvious for even Stevie Wonder to see that T&T is having a poor performance in Daegu.

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!!

I dont care if JA is having a bad games on not. Focus on your country and not another. I see couple TnT athletes not even making finals. so I dont see how you can compare a country who have their top athletes failing to make finals with another country who winning medals day in, day out.

Have you got reading problems or something?! Where did you see me compare T&T to Jamaica in athletics?
I specifically said T&T is not Jamaica!

It seems that you lack an understanding of basic English and obviously don't understand what the last lines in my previous post meant which I’ve now highlighted for your benefit! 

I won't waste any more of my precious time trying to logically explain anything to you about our athletes!
You love to rant so continue to rant, it’s your prerogative and it obviously makes you feel better!!

KAB who was able to maintain her program brought home a medal.

Also don't forget the games is not over yet, its only half way thru!!

If she is injured it will also affect our womens 4 x 100m relay team!

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!! 

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
