Gonna miss her so much! She really bought a lot of joy to Jamaicans both at home and in the diaspora. Like you I wish her nothing but the best.

Ugh. 2008 olympic final.

Correct! Many had written off VCB that year.

@@TheAthleteFanatic Hmm. She came 4th in 100m with a 10.91 too.

@@TheAthleteFanatic yep they did...

！！！kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

❤

Superb

M

she used her acceleration to win that race. That is conditioning and coaching

It's all about who wants more!!!!

Simply great

Always said that

.

Maybe but it didnt help, she lost

She snatched that 3rd place like a boss, she's the real deal ❤🇯🇲

A true fighter. A self motivator.

World great

Though placed third, VC was always someone to watch in the women's 200m.

Yes from lane 2 and she came off the curb in the lead .

@@longbranch11207 Surprised the commentators did notice that. They focused mainly in the middle of track.

I have been looking for this comment ✨

She lost 🤣🤣🤣

​@@randomvintagefilm273 She didn't lose anything. She ran 21.97 (SB) from lane 2 and came in third! The comment I made was with regards to her consistency and how she still managed to make her way onto the podium way outside her prime. VCB won her first Olympic title over this distance eleven years prior in 2004. Schippers, on the other hand, defended her title by the narrowest of margins in 2017 and hasn't been on the podium since. Still laughing?

Between her and Merlene Ottey I give Ottey the edge tho!

Not really . Allison Felix and Shelly Ann Fraser pryce would of made this a real line up

@@MarioMartinez-tt9ly You can only race the people that line up against you at the time. It’s greatness I’m measuring by it’s competitiveness and time, not it’s participants.

This is the greatest 200m race ever. By a long distance.

🤣🤣🤣

kimoya butler: yes, VC-B is a top athlete. Her strength is her start, Dafne's is her powerful finish. 2008 was VC-B's best year for 200 who is best at shorter distances

VCB was leading off that curve. She ran a monster curve. I don't remember seeing anyone run that well up to that point. She couldn't hold it for the last 60 meters. Still got bronze!

Yohan Blake: Am I a joke to you?

@@zeswanky578 he probably would agree..

@@TheAirynDolce Yohan Blake literally ran 8 seconds on a 100m curve in 2012. He also almost beat Bolt in a 200m race in 2012 cause of the curve, I would argue that he's the greatest curve runner of all time.

@@zeswanky578 3rd leg is also usually the shortest of the 4x1 as well (typically why the slowest would be put there in a traditional line up)…

@@TheAirynDolce No way you just said Yohan Blake as the slowest. Yeah, stop talking mate. Watch the 200m finals in 2012, Yohan Blake is definitely the greatest curve runner of all time man.

A Scandinavian god

My favourite Nedarla nd

@Under the Surface she actually stepped on the floor before thompson

@Under the Surface that makes no sense...if leaning forward causes you to cross the line first then....you won.

@@waledali434 that doesn't matter

Under the Surface r u dumb

The emphasis on race is so weird.

Bruh White now on top

You are so right. She ran that curve. Crazy is the best description. She is in the lead, but couldn't hold it. Still got bronze. Congrats to all!

And why exactly is that?

I'm going to disagree with you.... 21.34 don't disrespect that it was a really good race I will agree with you on that.. but facts are facts... Flojo ran 21.5 in the semifinals.. think about that..

@@sinsin1697 if you add all the other runners time this was the best

@@goodebening6564 you know something that is one way to look at it.... So it was the best competition is what you're saying... Numbers don't lie...

@@goodebening6564 one thing for sure it was a really really really good race... And looking at it from your point of view it was the best competition ever.... You're not saying it was the best 200 m ever ran it was just the best competition .ever ...you just might be right ...numbers don't lie.... never really looked at it like that

Thompson is famous of Not showing sportsmanship , she never congratulate Schippers along with a few others.

​@@jietzemiedema8002indeed. I also noticed. Horrible people

And to think this was past her peak

She's got great curves

Sure she isn't. I wonder who looks like they're juicing Schippers or Alexin?

@Shiv Singh sadly, I don’t think Schippers will make the Olympic final. She hasn’t been running great all year! Her best time this year is like 22.70, which will not make the finals in Tokyo

We want to watch their reactions before the race-that determines the winner due to confidence and poise

GoldenBoy or we js wanna see the actual race

it's impossible to accelerate in the closing stages of a 200 - the winner is the one who slows down least. Her heptathlon strength and mental toughness really showed here

@@stevecrocker6904 you are very correct, I ran track at EMU 400M and decathlon Steve thank you for saying like it is 👍

I saw that bs

I think she was a little shocked that she got run down ..

She was tired, idiot!

@collide well, she has flowers on her forehead

@Under the Surface it's being covered by the announcers as it's happening and there is NO break in their coverage. In other words, there is no editing for the race or immediate post race recovery and celebration. Moron. Just face it, your girl Thompson is a bad sport. As a matter of fact, none of the Jamaicans came up to her and congratulated her. It was Schippers who went up to one of them on the ground and patted her on the back as to recognize her race, and even then, she got no response.

Great run, especially in wooden shoes!

Simp

@@markroyer56 lol

@@markroyer56 this was INTENSE.

It was not a acceleration. It's just at the end people slow down because they are getting tired and Schippers didn't slow down that much because she is a specialist in not getting tired haha

Hidde ! Hp

Please stop.

@@hidde44 Exactly

Bo Rood agreed

Mudboy you over here to... LOL you simply a loser LOL..

People kill me with all that whose clean shyt! U were not there. In the closet with the chemist or trainer. You tend to talk up who you like and down on others. She is not among my favs. However im happy for her. As for PED s. Dont know or care. See, like you...I wasn't with her every moment. Therefore i cannot intelligently make a declaration. The question is: How can you? Great run ladies.

@@distanceman8147 very good point but I think bo rood is a failed athlete .. that really hate Americans.... Go to the flowjo video and I guarantee you see bo rood bashing her just check it out for yourself . Sometimes more than one time on the same video I'm talkin months apart. Just a weirdo.
