Please GOD let him win Olympic gold, it'll be so fucking funny
9.92s!!!!🤯🔥
Lamont Marcell Jacobs 🇮🇹 stormed to victory in the men's 100m final at the Paavo Nurmi Games, clocking a time of 9.92s - his best time since 2021 when he won the Olympics!
Chituru Ali 🇮🇹 ran a huge PB of 9.96s to take 2nd while Andre de Grasse was 3rd in 10.00s.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce produced the greatest women's 100m season of all time last year.
Shericka Jackson produced the greatest women's 200m season of all time this year.
Overall quality and consistency matters more than just the top mark.
Argue with yourselves.

Ultimately Coleman is still the 60m king - one loss by .01 to Lyles was never going to change that and he made himself the clear favourite through the rounds.
Lyles running multiple 6.4s was not something I expected though. That bodes so well for him outdoors...

44.29 👏🏽
A legitimate medal threat in all the sprints.
His 200m is going to be so nasty. It wasn't long ago that I was getting boo'd for stating that he's a bigger threat to Lyles than Knighton
@_OwenM_
@LetsileTebogo2
@AthleticsSA_
I predict 44.2ish, which would be very impressive.
A sub-44 would absolutely blow my mind - not because he isn't capable of it, but just because it's so early. We've never seen anyone drop a 43.x in March

This might sound dramatic but I genuinely believe the gap between the 100m careers of SAFP and the other girls to be SO vast that you could actually cut her career in two (2008-2014, 2015-present) and still make a good GOAT argument for either
And I mean that with no disrespect

I'll never shut up about it. Reverse the wind that it's easily a 10.5, but it was also a very cool evening that night, and she's was recuperating from an injury.
This is THE most underrated sprint performance ever
The wind really robbed Shelly of a 10.5 clocking at the DL final last year 😡
It’s coming though!! 🤫🔥

Don't be fooled by her quick 60m times - Julien is not just a starter (her 200m prowess should've made that clear already tbh). She's strong in every phase of her race. Don't underestimate her 👀

Imagine being in 2023 and thinking this is even debatable...
She has more than double as many major 100m titles than any other woman in the history of the event.
SAFP in the 100m is one of the clearest GOATs we have in any single T&F discipline.
Shelly Ann Fraser- Pryce is the greatest 100m sprinter of all time.
That’s that. Stop the discussion.

Athletes should be required to compete in a minimum number of competitions before they can qualify for World Athlete of the Year (or other accolades), with the number of required competitions determined by the nature of their event (should be less for combined events/marathoners)

1. SAFP easily on top as the only one with further medals (only person ever with 4 consecutive 100m medals)
2. ETH next best due to having the best times and the OR; she's the female Olympic 🐐 if 200m included
3. Tyus because she set a WR while defending her title
4. Devers
Who’s the greatest to ever do it in Olympic history?
4 women have won two Olympic golds in the 100m, but only one can be the greatest of all time 👀

The idea that you need to hold the world record to be the greatest in your event is childish. Body of work is far more important than peak performance, and always will be.

SAFP > Any 100m sprinter ever

Shelly has been my favourite athlete since 2008. I was barely a teenager at the time but can remember her dealing with the BS of people wanting her to be removed from the 100m team because she was relatively unknown, so I was rooting for her to win it all, which of course she did
