So many people commenting on that women’s 4x4 that know nothing about track. Y’all have no idea about
1. Who Kendall Ellis is
2. All the pressure that was riding on her on that last leg, and
3. What splits are and how they work

If two athletes have the exact same time down to the thousandths, why is it not a tie? Faster reaction time shouldn’t decide the winner since it can be argued that whoever had the slower reaction time actually ran the race faster. Idk. Maybe I’m trippin

It’s actually concerning the amount of older Bahamians that are surprised that I want to come home when I’m done with school. As if I studied FISHERIES just to stay in the states.

Feel how you want about the Caster Semenya/IAAF case because we’re all entitled to our opinions but chill with the disrespect. Caster is stronger than any of us could ever be in the face of all this bs. She’s still human and deserves respect for that reason if nothing else.
