Jamaica throw away their gold medal on the last leg!
If I was Jamaican I would be raving mad right now with their anchor man!!

Hear Oral Tracy's sports commentary on the performance of the JA's 4 x 400m relay anchor man!

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.

yeah but when last a trini made the 200 final? sorrillo times improved throughout each round. i am real proud of sorrillo. true the 200 is not very competitive but he made finals unlike the past where we still couldnt make the final or even semifinals when it was not competitive.

200 Metres - M FINAL (RESULTS)
Daegu 03 September 2011 - 21:20 Wind: 0.8 m/s

Position   Lane   Bib   Athlete   Country   Mark      React
1   3   588   Usain Bolt JAM 19.40    (WL)   0.193
2   4   1073   Walter Dix USA 19.70    (SB)   0.161
3   6   413   Christophe Lemaitre FRA 19.80    (NR)   0.160

6   2   198   Bruno de Barros BRA 20.31       0.158

     7   813   Alonso Edward PAN DNF      0.188

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!!

Yuh right! Don't think they have had any top class 100m & 200m male sprinters for a while!

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.

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.

Aviator · « **Reply #380 on:** September 04, 2011, 03:57:49 AM »

We have the 3rd fastest time of all the teams that qualified for the final. Praying we can keep that position after the final

Now time for the men.....allyuh have some serious making up to do. Leh we go!!!!

Aviator · « **Reply #381 on:** September 04, 2011, 04:11:09 AM »

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...
