I am not a Jamaican, but I can't remember wishing so badly for an athlete to win Olympic gold as badly as I want Kishane Thompson to win it. I want him to blow the competition out of the water. I just wish his speed had been under wraps so guys could come to the Olympics and get a shocker. It is time to shut some people up. I want Jamaica to go Gold and Silver in the 100 meters at the Olympics

I’m Sticking with Oblique. I’m not going to throw him away like we weren’t rooting for him before national trials

Kishane is the man to watch and we cannot overlook Omanyala..he might be the upsetter at the Paris Olympics. Seville is running well and Noah Lyes might settle for fourth place but anything can happen

Kishane's last 50 looks a lot stronger than Asafa's, so looks like he would be great in 200. Yes, I agree - finally someone with the potential to threaten Bolt's records.

Appreciate you for still dropping content given your current situation in JA (no power). Will always support you 🎉❤

Hurricane 🌀 Kishane the next global superstar has arrived 👏🏽🇯🇲👏🏽🇯🇲👏🏽🇯🇲👏🏽🇯🇲

The reason why a lot of athletes don't do multiple events is due to how violent sprinting can be on the body. Risks of season-ending injuries increase with more events, so to avoid this athletes are kept to one event. Bolt is a special case, he came from the 400m. With the advantage of his height (stride length/frequency), and his speed, strength, and endurance being built from training for the 400m. Which transferred perfectly to the 100m and 200m. An all-out100 m is equivalent to an all-out 400 m. In the case of Kishane, I think his coach is trying to avoid the mistakes made with Asafa.

I would like if he concentrates on the 100m for now..the 200m can come later. We just need to be patient

Is he fast enough to run 200 the meters? Yes! But is he in the physical health to do it? That's the real question.

This year is not a 200m year for Kishane. They were working on ensuring he doesn't get injured. Im glad he did those rounds and came out healthy.

I will say this, and I'm not Jamaican, but if Kishane, Omanyala, and Seville can actually perform when it counts, Noah may have to settle for 4th. If he does metal, it may be because he will run a personal best (under 9.80), or these other guys who are capable of running a 9.7 will start well, get out on him from the start, also being able to hold their form and take it home. Or someone else (one of the other sprinters we are sleeping on) just may surprise everyone and will cut someone else's chances to metal. This should be an interesting 100m in the Olympics.

I always say the 200m makes you stronger, and that caused fewer injuries. Maybe later on, they'll do more 200m

It is a horrifying thought TT. The full potential of this young man is mind boggling.

I'm not convinced that he needs the 200m based on his injury proneness and incredible top end. My bet is that MVP (Francis) have figured out how to develop in him the specific speed endurance needed for the the 100m without having to prepare for and race the longer distance which could pose more risks than gains.

Eagerly waiting for Paris !!

Bless up trackies I would love se Seville and kishane run the 200m

The guy have injury problems. To run the bend and going 100m more would damage him more. So for now i don't see him running the 200m

Kishane is a monster

If 2024 has taught me anything, it is that I despise athletes using races that I pay to see, as glorified practice. If Kishane, or any other athlete for that matter is willing to do what it takes to develop a race strategy, perfect it, and execute it over 200 meters, I'd love to see it. If you are gonna run it, then run it. I just don't wanna see no more practices passing themselves off as performances. I don't care if it helps you get "stronger for the 100". Get strong on your own time.

T, I hear he use to run the 200 but because of injuries he focused on one event. If he manages to stay healthy and can minimize the injuries doing some work in the 200 work might get the best out of him. He has much more in the tank ! Excited for Paris and the years to come

Steven is setting him up to be olympic champ in 100M. That can set him up to attract appearance fees and maximize his earnings.

Thank you as always for your update and analysis T. I appreciate the fact that you are back to work so soon after the effects of the hurricane. Your professionalism and dedication to your craft is most commendable. Best wishes always 🙏❤️

Albeit Shericka Jackson seemingly is at her upper-bound and empirically determined level of body mass (164 pounds), it portends she will race at a speed of circa 10.76 (± 0.12331) seconds¹--at 100 meters, 22.03 (± 0.25639) seconds at 200 meters--in the interim and before the Olympic Games. There is an eventual likelihood that Jackson will scale at circa 10.71 (± 0.09445) seconds,² in the 100-meter [21.53 (± 0.10018) seconds in the 200-meter] sprint, at the Olympic Games. Calculably, Jackson's kinetic energy, expended in racing, is inefficiently cresting at 84%:³ optimal performance level requires expending at least 99.73% of kinetic energy in competitive racing. ___NB_________________ ¹10.76 ≈ 10.759881744 = [10.84(((1 - ((100/((164(164 + 1))/2)))], where 164 refers to body-mass weight that is empirically determined based on height (5 feet, 8 inches): [154 = 106 + (6 × 8)] ±10 ²10.71 ≈ 10.7144970816 = (((10.84 × 100²) - (10.84 × 10.76²))/100²))) ³84% ≈ 0.8353676326 = [K(e) = [(√((½(w)(d/t)²)))/100] = 0.8353676326 = [(√((½(164)(100/10.84)²)))/100], where "K(e)," "w," "d," and "t" refer to kinetic energy, weight, distance, and time respectively.

Kishane is very strong and have too much speed leave after running a 100m so he will do 200m if his injuries are under control and not having any problem with the curve he will be running it.

I think Kishane can one day get close to or break the 100-meter record. He is only 22, and usually, male athletes start reaching their prime at 25. I dont think he will do it in the 200 meter. The promising one on the 200 is Erriyon knighton. I think eventually they are going to drop him down to 100 meters to work on his speed. But i give him 4 to five more years before he got a shot at it.

Shelly started 100m only, then both. Franno has only just got kishane to be consistently injury free, jesus christ give it some time. Rome was never built in a day, neither shelly elaine or shericka, give it some time franno is meticulous and he does nothing before the time. When he can support a training programme for the 200m and remain fit we will see him doing the 200m. Hes quality, so too was elaine and she did 200m first then the double. Be patient everything is a coordinated balance. Have a good day.

His top end speed makes for 200. But for now his pure concentration on 100 means he will have serious reserve energy unlike those doing the double

Oblique and Kishane go thru their injuries each season. So best to prob keep them 100m. Plus, at this time, if ur not running 19.6, I dont see Glen Mills or Franno having their athletes doubling. The good thing is that the guys will at least get more time to practice their relays for the 4x100m cause we alrdy know they wont be practicing until they get to Paris and do their individual races.

Noah Lyles is strong and not necessarily fast.he depend solely on his strength ..kishane however got both speed and strength,the only thing that would hamper him from doing a 200m this year,is the lack of execution for which he didn't train.i can vision seeing him doing the 200m next year

A wise coach will focus on the strength of each athlete as an individual. Coach Francis seems to what his athletes need to achieve success. Shericka and Elaine are examples of athletes who he successfully to double. Kishane might be more injury prone and would be less likely to double without health risk.

1:35 what's the benefit of doing the double? if they can eat a good food off doing just 100m or whatever race, then go thru

This is his first season mostly injury free so Mr.Francis probably wants him to focus solely on one event. Pair that with the strain it takes to do the double and I wouldn't want to do it either 😂 200M mean more strength & endurance work which SUCKS.

thats something Glenn milss has over franno for real ..most of his athletes doubles easily however Franno is a geneius and he know whats best so he will double in time.

Who on earth told you thompson can not run a 200m! Lady it's better u say u didn't see him run one

First time I noticed his talent was over 200m. I had confused him for Miguel Francis.

No 200m this year for KT, most likely next year.

Kishane does not need 200 metre pedigree to succeed

The 100m runners normally run 150m and 200m in practice. Doing 200m alone will not make you win the 100m. Their are exercises that are coupled with that for your to get stronger. Alot of persons problem as Lyles said, is, maintaining their top end speed after 60m. Lyles can hold his top end speed longer than the average runner and a big thing with that is because he stays relaxed.

He already has inquiry problems ...we satisfied with the 100..nah push it...

He said NO, You figured he'd leave some food on the table for Noah. Said. Bless him and everybody else. The 100 M. King rules the universe all day everyday.

When are you going to give us your thoughts on the men 4/400 interms of the withdrawal of the top athletes at the last minute

He's great and promising but to break the WR he has a juice up..bolt got away with it somehow!!!! The best this guy or any other can do is equal the record or come closer like around 9.65,at this point this guy could run 9.68 max

Look I hope you are not making excuses for Francis but I think he is WRONG in not allowing his sprinters to do the 200m. It's as if Jcan sprinters have banned the 200m and it's a damn disgrace. Let me remind the world- WE ARE THE WORLD RECORD HOLDERS for M 100 and 200 m and We have clearly given up on the 200m. Every sprinter SHOULD do 100200m, period. If BOLT can do it, so can they. I hope Kishane wins the Olympic 100m but he's not in the history books until he runs 200m.

I dont think the 200m is for Kishane, he runs with too much power, that curve is just going to injure him

They said Noah Lyles wasn't the one at the last world championships .... 😅😅😅

Kishane must concentrate on the 100m along. If he does that than he will own it like how Noah owns the 200m. Shericka own the 200m and if Sharcarri concentrate on 100m along she will own that also Sydney is a perfect example to follow because while she is the fastest American at 400m she still stick to her pet event instead of draining her body with multiple events. If you own your event then be like Ed Moses and build up a winning streak.

Asafa use to double

My Jamican brothers. Concentrate on 100. You have no one who is consistent in the 200. There are no medals there.

He can’t do it that take a lot out of your body on that 100 at top speed take a lot out of u on he of to do 150 200 250 300 of to do for strength work out

I think Francis is wrong

Sherika Jackson is the 200 meter is the 200 meter champion, abd she wil not get beaten, why you are saying no 200,

I think Kishane best event will be 200m. He just getting going in the 100m

Powell could run 200m

Can you do an investigation to find out why oblique and folks so far from frano camp? Do not do the double also kashane tompson

That is not true

Try to cut what you are saying into half…u repeat the same thing over and over.

Excuses for KISHANE but not for SHA'CARRI... SMDH... Y'all PRETTY GIRLS need to stick together...not divide.

What is she talking about, shutting it down with 30 m left???

Dumb

What's crazy is y'all betting everything on Kishane but Noah Lyles already knocking on Bolts 200m record. That's why writing off Noah Lyles is crazy stupid.

TxT Tracktime...you're getting carried away. Kishane may never run that fast again...may never qualify for the finals, let alone podium. Calm down.

You guys are delusional in these comment sections about Kishane 😅 hes not beating Noah he may choke and not even make the finals!!! Usa 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
