*Off Topic* for the Birmingham Grand Prix Jamaican star sprinter announced she will be running at this event. I hope to see a healthy Michelle Ahye run against her

You seem to be a bit obsessed with T&T rivaling Jamaica. I wonder why?!  ::)

Why don't you give MLA a chance to recover fully from her injury?
I am sure that she will announce if she is ready to compete again at the highest level in her own time.

Thank goodness MLA is not as obsessed with rivaling the Jamaicans as you seem or she would quite likely risk re-injuring herself before she is fully recovered simply to fulfill your Jamaican obsession.

Did are you smoking weed? TNT is NOT Jamaica rivals in Track so I will never think along those lines. YOU are the one who made the foolish remark in a previous thread of TNT being JA rivals. Now read carefully because I know you have a comprehension problem so you still may not grasp what I am saying. My original post that you quoted said I HOPE to see a HEALTHY Michelle Ahye run against the Sprint star. Where in my post do you see me make an argument for MLA to run and risk injury? If she is not healthy then she shouldn't run. I really don't care where Fraser Pryce is from. She can be from Jamaica or Afghanistan it does not matter therefore I have no obsession

Your Jamaican obsession is obvious. I simply decided to point it out from now on after you homed in on trying to compare T&T with Jamaica after I posted some reference info on both T&T and Jamaica's previous (2010) CWG medal performance in my Commonwealth Games thread.
As I pointed out after you revealed your Jamaican obsession, I posted both country's previous medal performances for reference purposes so that we can see if both countries improve on their CWG medal performance in 2014 as compared to the last time round 2010.
The inform was not provided to compare T&T's medal count directly with Jamaica's but to see if T&T improves upon its own previous medal performance in 2010 and by how much. However one needs to be a much less obsessed with always comparing T&T with Jamaica than you are to clearly understand why I provided the information.
Look up to now you still can't understand why I provided the reference information even after I took the time to explain which is enough proof to me of your obsession. I rest my case.
When someone is obsessed as you are it is very hard for them to see past their obsession as everything is meant to be a rivalry.

You are the one who loves to ego-trip and pull stuff out your ass to argue about and I've simply decided to give you a dose of your own medicine.

Anyway your JA obsession is obvious and was proved conclusively in my Commonwealth Games thread when you assumed I was trying to compare T&T's medal count with JA's thus revealing your own obsession when I wasn't even trying to compare T&T with Jamaica in that regard.
Up to now I don't even think you understand why I posted the stats. It was to see if T&T would improve on our medal efforts this time round and by how much.

PS:
And btw are you aware that even if MLA announces that she is fully fit and recovered by the Birmingham Grand Prix that it won't be advisable for her to run at a top level Meet right away?
Also another important note is that MLA has to be invited to a top level Meet well in advance and can't just decide at the last minute that she wants to take part. I don't think MLA will be in a position to decide which top level Meet she wants to compete at until she becomes a big crowd draw like a Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce or a Usain Bolt who have both won quite a number of major championship titles.

Moving on..



Athletes to eye Diamond League after Commonwealth Games



NAIROBI, July 31 (Xinhua) -- As the time ticks away to the closure of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on Sunday, focus shifts to the explosive IAAF Diamond League where Kenyan athletes will be keen to reign supreme yet again.

World 800m champion Eunice Sum, steeplechaser Jairus Birech and Olympic 800m gold medallist David Rudisha are all in contention for the coveted title, which comes with 50,000 U.S. dollars to boot and a chance to be called number one in the discipline.

There are four more meetings left in the 2014 IAAF Diamond League series, but six athletes have dominated their disciplines to the extent that they have already done enough to win the Diamond Race.

American's 400m runner LaShawn Merritt, French sprint hurdler Pascal Martinot-Lagarde, Kenyan steeplechaser Jairus Birech, French pole vaulter Renaud Lavillenie, Jamaican 400m hurdler Kaliese Spencer, and New Zealand's shot put star Valerie Adams are the Diamond Race winners in their respective events.

To seal their victory - and the 50,000 dollar bonus and Diamond Trophy to go with it - they simply need to compete in their discipline at either of the IAAF Diamond League finals in Zurich and Brussels.

The other 26 events in the Diamond Race remain undecided. Four of them are extremely close, however, with just two athletes left in the running.

U.S. triple jumpers Will Claye and Christian Taylor are currently separated by just two points. Piotr Malachowski and Robert Harting are the only remaining athletes in with a chance to win the Diamond Race in the men's discus.

And while 800m runner Sum and discus thrower Sandra Perkovic have a healthy lead in their events, it is conceivable that they could be caught by U.S. Ajee Wilson and Gia Lewis-Smallwood, respectively.

If Perkovic wins in Stockholm or Sum wins in Birmingham though, they will be uncatchable in the Diamond Race. The races in the other disciplines are wide open.

In 20 of them, there are five or more contenders still left in with a chance of winning the Diamond Race, and in 16 events the Diamond Race winner will only be decided in one of the finals in Zurich or Brussels.

Just seen on the website Bledman, Walcott and Gordon will be competing in the 100M, Javelin and 400MH respectively. Bledman should redeem himself with a good run after that shit performance at the CWG

American star Alyson Felix will also be competing in the women 200M.

Olympian Keshorn Walcott did not have the best showing when he took the field in the IAAF Diamond League Javelin meet a short while ago. Walcott finished 6th with his best throw being 84.27 metres, a long way behind winner Antti Ruuskanen, who took top spot with 87.24 metres.

Medals for Bledman, Gordon at Stockholm

Medals for Bledman, Gordon at Stockholm
Friday, August 22 2014 (T&T Newsday)

TRINIDAD AND Tobago 100-metre sprinter Keston Bledman seemed to be catching back his form after finishing second in the men’s 100metre event at IAAF Diamond League Meeting DN Galan, Stockholm.


Bledman, the former national champion, finished second in the men’s 100m in 10.09 seconds, behind Nesta Carter of Jamaica (9.96) while Ujah Chijindu of Great Britain was third in a close 10.10.

Meanwhile, World 400m hurdles champion Jehue Gordon, who recently came off a silver medal performance at XX Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland was able to capture bronze, clocking 50.13 seconds. He trailed the pair of American Michael Tinsley (49.60) and Javier Culson of Puerto Rico (49.84), who were first and second respectively.

Unfortunately Olympic gold medallist Keshorn Walcott was unable to secure a medal finishing sixth in the men’s javelin with a throw of 84.27 metres. Antti Ruuskanen of Finland won with a distance of 87.24 followed by Germany’s Thomas Rohler (85.12) and Finland’s Tero Pitkamaki (84.73) who finished second and third respectively.

Bledman second, Gordon third in Sweden
Published: Friday, August 22, 2014 (T&T Guardian)


Keston Bledman was second while Jehue Gordon placed third at the 11th leg of the IAAF Diamond League, in Stockholm, Sweden, yesterday.

Bledman finished behind Jamaica’s Nesta Carter in the men’s 100m.

Carter was comfortably ahead in the Caribbean-dominated event with a season best 9.96 effort while being followed by Bledman, who grabbed second in a time of 10.09 seconds. Briton Chijindu Ujah and Nickel Ashmeade of Jamaica placed third and fourth, respectively, after both clocked 10.10 seconds. Diamond League 100m leader, USA’s Michael Rodgers was disqualified after a false start.

Gordon, ranked sixth in the Diamond League 400m hurdles, ran 50.13 seconds behind runaway leader Michael Tinsley of the US (49.60 seconds) and Javiter Culson of Puerto Rico, who clocked 49.84.

Walcott took sixth in the men’s javelin throw.

Walcott, who claimed silver at the Commonwealth Games earlier this month, threw an impressive 84.58m, less than a metre off his 85.28m personal best and national record. He completed five of his six attempts without fault but finished considerably behind the event winner Antti Ruuskanen of Finland, who threw 87.24m. Rohler Thomas (85.12) of Germany and another Finnish thrower Tero Pitkamaki (84.73), placed second and third, respectively.

The next leg of the Diamond League is carded for Birmingham, England, on Sunday.
