Reasons to still watch USATF at the olympics for dummies:
(Uhhh Thread, you’re welcome)
- Gabby Thomas. She’s the second fastest 200 in history after Flo Jo !
- Grant Holloway has a chance at breaking the world record in the 110 hurdles
NBA players coming at the American Record holder is crazy 😂
Noah made valid points . I get what he is saying. The only time they “face off the world” is at the Olympics.
NATIONAL Basketball Association. National … yes .. World … not so much imo.
“The past 7 months I stayed on my car” Yesterday I had the pleasure of talking to 2X World Championship finalist
@TeejayHolmes
after his 400m Hurdle race about being unsponsored, experiencing homelessness and training.
A lot of people in the black community saying they’re boycotting and I get why you’re upset, we all are. But please understand USATF is represented by predominantly black athletes. And a lot of them can and will bring home medals too. Their hard work matters and deserves support.
To every USATF athlete who was/is in Tokyo,
You’re amazing. You’re resilient. You’re an Olympian! True track fans are so proud of you. This has been a wild Olympic Games and it’s been an honor watching you guys so far. We put so much pressure on ourselves we forget to enjoy it.
- Did I mention women’s 400 hurdles yet? Sydney and Delilah !? They’ve both broken the WR and neither ever disappoint.
- men’s 200, Noah Lyles, Kung Fu Kenny, 17 YEAR OLD ERRIYON!
Nah, what y’all will NOT do is make this 100m situation a racial situation . And I will not allow y’all to talk ill or speak negatively about Jenna! That’s not right ! Have your opinion on the weed rule being dumb but leave Jenna outta this!
My 100 time was 11.6 in high school and I still got recruited to a D1 college on a full ride. I ended up running 10.92 after 3 years of being injured, represented Team USA & won a silver medal on a relay. 🥱 Don’t let people scare you from your dreams.
Moral of my story, Team USA has a bunch of talent that can bring home medals. Boycotting is saying you’re not supporting these athletes who also worked hard to earn a spot on this team on the biggest stage!
- women’s 800 … Athing Mu! She’s only 19!
- Women’s Long Jump has a legit chance of a USA sweep! Britts last Olympic Games!
- JuVaughn Harrison is doing a double we haven’t seen since 1912 in the men’s Long Jump and High Jump! He has a chance to medal in both
This is why USA Track and Field needs to define and separate:
PROFESSIONAL
COLLEGIATE
AAU
Unpopular opinion : I’m sorry but the only time pros and collegiate athletes should be competing together is at USATF Champs/Olympic Trials.
& The U.S needs a Pro circuit.
@tianna_mad
lol do they realize Australia is at the peak of their season… like they were in their outdoor season during our indoor season and also had their championships .
😂 odd take truly
I don’t know who needs to hear this but
If you’re competing at Trials HAVE FUN!
Your hard work and sacrifice is written. So relax, execute and enjoy it! Not many people can say they made it to trials!
❤️🇺🇸
- men’s 100, Trayvon Bromell is the world leader currently with 9.77, Ronnie Baker and Fred Kerley who’s a 400m specialist!
-Women’s 100m hurdles ; USA is always dominate in this event!
Alaysha Johnson (
@ImJustLaylay
) is having the season of her life. She won today in New York City and got a personal best of 12.40 to win the women’s 100m hurdles.
Still unsponsored but someone to watch to make the

team at the U.S. Championships.
Tyreek Hill ran 6.70 at the USATF Masters meet’s 25-29 category 🐆 🤡

this morning in the prelims.
Maybe call them out first before going after Olympic and World Championship medalist 🐸 🍵
Uneducated NFL fans speaking on track <
🙄 please end this debate. It’s drawn out now. And the only current person who’s proved being worthy of NFL and Olympic talk is Marquise 🤦🏽♀️ good day.
- Women’s 400. A young Wadeline and two veteran mommies! The legend Allyson’s last Olympic Games!
- Men’s 400! Both Michael’s are running 🔥🔥🔥 and a collegiate (Randolph)
-Men’s triple jump, need I say more.?! Will Claye, Donald Scott, Chris Benard
Jenna Prandini is now the Allyson of the 4x100 . SHE STAYS AT 3!
She’s a vet and an incredible 3rd leg runner. As long as she is making it to be in the relay pool she should be third !!!
📸
@Justin_Britton
- USA never had 3 women triple jumpers at a championship meet, we can also medal which we’ve never done
- Did y’all not watch women’s shot? Hello Jessica and Raven!
- Rai Benjamin in the 400mH . YKTV and if you don’t you have no business threatening to boycott the olympics 😂
Track Athletes have talked about forming a union for how long now? Team USA needs one drastically.
I hate to say it but nothing will change until the top U.S athletes start making a stand, even if it means sacrifice.
🗣 BIG LAY SAYS “ITS MY TIME!”
@ImJustLaylay
makes her second world team in season after 2 years of being out the game due to her Thyroid.
#USATFOutdoors
A lot of coaches biggest downfall is their ego . You can be the greatest coach in the world, but if you put you ego over the athletes and their best interest...you can break an athlete physically, mentally or both.
🤯... at this point, for kicks and giggles ...
@NFL
should host a paid track meet with their fastest players vs
@usatf
‘s fastest men. Cause track is mad disrespected at this point. 🥴
Nah, this really made me happy! It’s really rip me out the bag I been actin brand new. The statement of this gesture was absolutely EVERYTHING! Congrats

@DiggsTalitha
and her mom Joetta Clark Diggs ! 💙🐊🧡
I also don’t think he was trying to jab at them or their talent so they can relax on coming at him about his talent. Man is back to back WORLD CHAMP and broke a 55 year old record . Please stop coming for his talent .
Wow. Waking up hearing this news. Tori was literally the ONLY reason I moved to Chula Vista to train. I wanted to train with the best of the best. RIP Tori, fly high mommas. 🕊️🫶🏽
To Louis, Rest In Peace! You are family. If my parents couldn’t be there you and Bernadette filled that void ALWAYS! So much to say but I’ll leave it at your presence made a difference.
To Joey, Devon, Carissa, Bernadette and the rest of the Allen family you’re in my prayers ❤️
Dear athletes ... stop accepting just gear . It’s okay to say no.
Stop promoting these companies who aren’t paying you but getting a check every time you’re on TV.
Have a goodnight.
All eyes are on this men’s 100 at Mt. Sac …
Because an NFL player is running…
But … why aren’t we advertising how LOADED this meet is across the board.
EVERY EVENT ! 😳
3/3 in the women’s 100 final

Only comments imma make about this situation is
1. I graduated from the UO.
2. This is stuff from 2 years ago.
3. I don’t care about the article itself but plastering my picture, disclosing my name (but not the professors), and grade without my consent def threw me off .

The Olympic rematch between Fred Kerley and Marcell Jacobs will have to wait...

To any athlete with a car and needs extra income 10/10 suggest working with Amazon Flex. I average $27-$30 an hour and it’s flexible on your own scheduling work hours. Plus Amazon Fresh you get good tips
Team USA will have the opportunity to bring 4 athletes in 11 events! All the thanks to these athletes for bringing home gold last year at the World Champs 🔥

we are an OLYMPIC sport ... the oldest at that ... and yet track&field can’t get any love ... in the very country that DOMINATES the sport. The worlds hardest team to make.
Bet you that American record is gone next year. I’m not playing no games.
9 weeks of prep and made the Olympic final.
Im hurting but hungrier than ever .
If track isn’t a sport why is it in the olympics ? 🤔🙄 lol people are hilarious. I can name a few “sports” not in the olympics which INCLUDES America’s favorite sport to watch on Thursday, Sunday and Monday. I’m just saying.
2017. I remember i use to let people’s words effect me. Now i laugh and ignore it. Some of you said i wouldn’t get a contract. Guess who got a contract even after a rocky year? Guess who’s blessed and ready for 2018! 2017 was nothing short of good to me.
