Shelly-Ann: 3rd Fastest Woman Ever!!

[Yuttie]

I hope she's sanctioned

[Sickko]

I read this morning on the IAAF site that Shelly is the ONLY woman to hold both Olympic and WC 100m titles at the same time...WOW!

[Willi]

That was my order too, but I hoped that Jeter would crack more so VC could sneak in.

Thanks - I also predicated the times using reasonable ranges

Good call, boss!
Yuh large!

[Time]

I completely forgot about Time’s amazingly accurate prediction (he even did great on the times)!!

To accurately predict the first four positions is no mean feat! Thanks for reminding me of this prediction, Peter R, as I had somehow forgotten about it in today’s excitement.

Much respect, Time!

I Agree

In my book Shelly is joint WR holder with Christine Aaron...

I was thinking the same thing this afternoon!!

Told y'all that Jeter would tighten up. She just didn't tighten up enough so VCB could give us the sweep.

Darn!

[T.K.]

Marion Jones and Flo'roids were both completely doped up.

Shelly-Ann is simply the fastest woman ever. - T.K.

[Historian]

Shelly-Ann Fraser’s 10.73 seconds performance is important for several reasons. Three are:

1. It makes her the THIRD fastest woman in history!!
Only Florence “Flo Jo” Griffith-Joyner and Marion Jones have ever gone faster!! France’s Christine Arron’s personal best is also 10.73, while Merlene Ottey’s personal best is 10.74.

2. Shelly-Ann now holds the Jamaica national record.

3. Shelly-Ann is the first Caribbean woman in history to be BOTH Olympic Games 100-meter champion and IAAF World Championships 100-meter champion. The only other Caribbean comparison, in this specific regard, is the Bahamas’ Tonique Williams-Darling who won the 400-meter gold at the 2004 Olympic Games and repeated as gold medalist in the 2005 IAAF World Championships 400-meter race.
