2012 U.S. Olympic Trials: women's 100m FINAL

[@stevie586]

Exactly! Relays are TEAM events; not individual. There are tons of individuals who can run amazing times, however, they may not work well with others. The chemistry amongst Madison, Felix, Knight, and Jeter is amazing, and they hence beat a FIERCE Jamaican team, and the rest of the world! A simple split second delay in handoffs would have totally changed that, and I think it wouldn't have even gotten around with Tarmoh.

[@nsxperformance]

Great job uploading footage from the US Trials, eager to see the finals. Keep em coming!

[@paigecdee]

Thank you for putting these up! ^_^

[@stevie586]

You are exactly correct. I am certain this was their thought process, and clearly, many of us feel this way.

[@beyoncestan101]

The 200m is going to be a BEAST! The American women have dominated that race this season. I have no idea who is going to win we got Allyson, Kimberblyn, Sanya, Carmelita, Bianca, Soloman,Anderson...That race is EPIC!!!

[@cdee12120]

Carmelita Jeter upper body is unbelievable..Madison has some real quickness in those legs..when Jeter built up that locomotive momentum that was it..

[@djpanth73]

Congratulations Carmelita Jeter!!!! Great showing in London for the Silver. Only a half a step kept you from the Gold. Considering that Frayser-Price works out with Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake (arguably the fastest men in the world) that is quite a feat!!! Much Love Mama!!

[@blacknwhiterain]

Cool it everyone... these women worked their entire lives to pursue something they love. Show some respect.

[@MrFlexybee]

I dont really like people making baseless and blank statement about athletes but why are people always ready and quick to judge carmelita Jeter.......What i noticed about Jeters races is that is purely textbook. 1.Just look at the placement of her feet as it touches the ground 2.Positioning of her and arm and how it moves 3.As well as the knee lift in the middleof her races. On a good day she tries to execute very well and she has a strong fighting mentality too.

[@OLCtv]

Allyson felix lost? What race were u guys watching. It was obviously a tie.

[@brainphreeze1906]

When will they release the results? Can you keep me updated please?

[@anonomousspy]

The spots wasn't reversed it was later stated that there was a tie and they were supposed yo have a run-off but it never happened cause the other girl forfitited leaving Felix with 3rd

[@dogsarebetter]

I love how Allyson just calmly walks forward while everyone else false starts

[@PrettyBritty0206]

The 3rd place result isn't final according to usatf.org. The photo finish is currently under review. According to the site, "USATF officials are meeting to determine the procedures necessary to break the third-place tie."

[@A1Googler]

I mean Felix congratulated Jeneba initially. Watch the entire video and her post run press conference. She congratulates her teammate again. And when asked about rumors of a tie, she says "I'm not thinking about that. Jeneba won. And I am happy for my teammate".

[@MrFlexybee]

Allyson Felix run 21.69 bcos 1.She wants to tell the whole world how prepared and eager she is for the 200m gold 2.she is also telling the other 200m runners that,they must come to London with their A game before they can match up with her. 3.The time(21.69) will boost her confidence and build her both physically and mentally. Lets hope the 3rd time will be the charm.

[@MrFlexybee]

I just had the same thought yesterday.Duncan is good runner and will good to see her on that 3rd leg.looks the team is alread set for a gold medal.

[@TheMarsd11]

Unfortunately we missed the runoff, but Tarmoh showed great sportsmanship today. Congratulations to Felix.

[@chocodil2]

what time did this come on NBC?

[@samfenix79]

Jeter looks amazing when she runs. She makes me want to run at a track meet

[@misschocolate101]

All of them are soooooo pretty!!!!

[@Bright2666]

I cannot watch anymore, they are on their marks and I want Felix, William and Jeter to qualify. GUsh!!!! I'm from Germany though but I'm so in love with the US Olympic team (track)

[@aburrows327]

Oh yeah? If Felix qualifies Tarmoh will get the last 100m spot? I'm glad we have psychic geniuses like you on youtube

[@BDQ1975]

I think Felix, if she makes it on the 200m might win in London. He 2 toughest test is VCB and SRR, but both Campbell-Brown and Richards-Ross will have to ran 6 to 7 races prior to the 200m finals in the Olympics since VCB will probably be in both 100m & 200m, SRR will be in 200m & 400m. If Felix qualifies in the 200m and her training partner Tarmoh doesn't, Bob Kerse will give Tarmoh the last 100m spot well Felix will run the 200m + both relays.

[@nhsvp2012]

Is 10.92 is the magic time in the women's 100m this year? Felix ran it in Doha, Fraser-Pryce ran it in New York, and Jeter runs it here at Trials......

[@Ineddiblehulk]

3:10 "could be decided by thousandths"HA! Little did he know!!

[@navyboi127]

Why is there not a higher quality video of this?

[@VkyleV]

Only about a second difference not much. Jeter can beat my time by nearly 5 seconds and I'm a guy. Very surprised that any American woman can match Jeter's speed despite her being the second fastest woman in history. US athletics program must be pretty incredible.

[@cpwm17]

It was later determined that it was actually a tie for third. Allyson Felix is on the 100 meter team now. Jeneba Tarmoh is only on the relay team now. She didn't want to contest the 100 meter slot.

[@GreatValleyMuscle]

Today's runoff between Jeneba and Allyson Felix has been cancelled. Jeneba withdrew. Allyson is getting the 3rd spot to go to London for the U.S. in the 100

[@MrFlexybee]

This the time Allyson felix needs to be strong bcos that is what true CHAMPIONS are made of. It gives her the chance to concentrate soley on the 200m and in life the most pleasured things comes unexpectedly.

[@solomonfrazier5966]

Btw The accouners called it a dead heat for Allyson and Jenbea and jenbea didnt run so Allyson made it on who would go on tomppace 5th with a pb in the London final

[@countryjamaica]

I am from Jamaica and I sooo love Jeter......

[@MrFlexybee]

Happy to see Madison in great form,atleast the USA is safe when she runs the first leg at the of the relays come this summer.

[@MrFlexybee]

Exactly my point here....this was a big chance for Tarmoh to make her name across u.s.a sport .whether she wins or loses the runoff,she would have done herslef a great deal. It is only losers who quit and quitters neva wins. She withdraw just bcos of this small pressure and i wonder if she has got a heart to handle the pressure of an Olympic final as well She should go back and read a lot of articles about Torrence,Devers and Ashford e.tc ,all they went through before they turned to CHAMPIONS.

[@Nokind1]

I love all these athletes..

[@GoHard4Home]

Jeter v. Frasier - London 2012 May the best win

[@mark84g5]

so did Allyson Felix make the team?

[@GeniusDolphin]

yes...21.69 is such a quick time!!! campbell did not run any great time in this season...i really hope that felix could win the olympic individual gold medal in 200m and have a time of around 21.50 =D she really deserve it!!!

[@trackandfieldarchive]

I beg to differ, Jeter has been the one over the last 2 years, and she appears to be getting back to form. And she has run 10.63 so she will be very hard for the Jamaican's to beat. And I'm neutral, I'm neither American or Jamaican so for me I just want to see a great race.

[@MrFlexybee]

In an interview this morning Felix said she was not going to run the run-off and not ready for a coin toss bcos her team mate tarmoh won the race.For me i think felix is matured and she will neva let anything come between her,kersee n tarmoh. She is real and not fake that is why she was dissapointed after the race and we all saw it on her face.i dont think is was arrogance but she was not happy with her run and lost.

[@RellyR510]

These some fast women and I mean that with the utmost respect

[@beyoncestan101]

If you followed her career you would know that she had major injuries in her middle 20's as well as mentally unstable(a choke) She has matured and is finally healthy.

[@Ineddiblehulk]

You see what Felix did in the 200m? I think you might be right. VCB has always peaked for the GAmes tho so wouldn't count her out but 21.69 by Felix is STUNNING and will be very very tough to beat even if VCB is at her best (21.71). Will be a GREAT race (just like the women's 200m Free which will be THE race in the pool!!)

[@Tejaye777]

Congratulations Camelita on your silver olympic medal.U were up there with Fraser.

[@MrFlexybee]

I agree with you and Felix has a big chance of making the 2000m,so she should just let Tarmoh have the 100m.

[@BDQ1975]

Knight was the more experience relay runner is how I look at it. You have to remember the team that just broke the world record with Madison, Felix, Knight and Jeter also destroy the same Jamaican squad, w/o Campbell-Brown at the Penn Relays back in April. Knight was on the world championship team last year that won with Felix and Jeter too. They did try using Tarmoh on the A squad but she screwed up an exchange in Monaco that got the team DQ. Drummond went with the most experience team

[@MrFlexybee]

If you are talking about the relay first leg for fraser then fine by me,she will excel but the open 100m is anybody's race until they cross the finsih line. Fraser has a time of 10.92 in newyork, likewise Felix 10,92 in Doha .Jeter also has world lead of 10.80 and not forgeting VCB too.Anybody is favourite prior to London and you just cant single out any person for the individual 100m.

[@southbeachlondn]

2.7 million Jamaicans live in Jamaica, fastest athletes on the planet train and live in Jamaica, which Jamaicans are you referring to exactly?

[@demanso1]

who are they running from? chris brown?

[@bodystorm]

I agree. They could have found 1/1000th if they looked closely. When the image is enlarged Felix's torso is a shaving back from Tarmoh - if they had applied the same logic as they did to Ottey/Devers all those years back they would find a winner.

[@MrFlexybee]

We all have opinions so i respect yours.As for me am not even writing anyone off till the ladies cross the finish line.If Fraser wins fine but i still trust in the old veterans like jeter,vcb to get in der as well.

[@caseywalker7785]

WOW what a start for MADISON...

[@Jay8941]

Well like Felix or not she is a great athlete. one of the best 200,400 m runners we have. Who cares if she's arrogant, so what? What does that have to do with her being a great athlete...hell an athlete has the right to be arrogant when they reach a certain level of success. Every athlete is not gonna b soft spoken and humble. I personally have never seen an arrogant moment from her, but if she's had a few so be it

[@20091class]

tarmoh has a really good start...i think that might give her that edge against felix in the tie breaker runoff

[@Tajshowalter]

Shes running the 100 because she said that with all the 400 training she has the endurance for the 200 but no speed she decided to work on the 100 because she needs the speed work. If youve see her races shes usually catches people, training in the 100 will help her with her starts for the 200..

[@MrFlexybee]

thanx for the correction ok.................so it was 10.03 and i remember the record was broken prior to the olympics in 08

[@freestyleKing2008]

Great Race! Carmelita Jeter so fine real talk

[@MrFlexybee]

Finally a dead heat between Felix and Tarmoh.lets see if the review will bring about a re-run.

[@DavidCrowmonttii]

Go (Carmelita Jeter).....Great job baby girl......keep doing you sweetheart

[@beyoncestan101]

Tianna Madison was straight ROLLING, def 1st leg in London, then Felix, (Duncan, Knight,SRR),Jeter...=WORLD RECORD esp if Richards Ross runs that 3rd leg*

[@jumperg5]

Good Win Jet, Allison felix: a fast 100 meter time for a 200 and 400 meter runner

[@phebeharris]

Jeter is not a 200m sprinter and just begun to run that race. If she try out for the trials and make it through we will see if she can make it to the finals in London. Apart from that, the fastest man/woman is ALWAYS judge by speed and that's the 100m. End of discussion.

[@Just_Brigood]

In hindsight i'm also torn...I'll just leave it at may the best woman win. Felix has some REAL competition in the 200 between Richards-Ross, Jeter, Tarmoh, and Duncan. I can't wait to see who makes the team. In a perfect world it'd probably be Richards-Ross, Jeter, and Felix but idk.

[@MrFlexybee]

LAST year all the two women(vcb n jeter) who beat her in the 200m ,had faster PB than her.All she needed was the speed to carry it into her 200m race.I personally dont think she has done herself harmby running the 100m and now that she is out,she can fully concentrate on the 200m as well.

[@MrFlexybee]

This year which of the Ja gals have run faster than the US ladies in both the 100m and 200m.if on the mens side fine ,usain bolt and co will dominate but on the womens side i beg ,dont write the USA women off.Their strength ,power and indeed their mentality always see them thru.The american ladies will still be there.

[@JamaicaFamilyFest]

You will be disappointed,,,JAMAICA's WOMEN SHALL DOMINATE 4X100M

[@HopefulJamaican]

'Pharmaleta Jeter': Rapid late improvement, huge muscle development, adult acne, deepened voice. All symptoms of doping (never heard of the puffy face thing before). No one has gotten fast so late (started running fast at age 29). I hope they devise a test to catch dopers (from whatever country) even if it's years after.

[@withataman01]

Who the Hell in the world at the age of 28 start to win Gold, silver, Bronze, in track n field. Where most of the top track and Field runners did that in their teen early twenty's. look at her photos before 2007 compare to now. She double in muscle size as she got older. I Bett jeter is gonna say she will be ready again for the Olympics 4 years from now at the age of 37, C'MON!

[@phebeharris]

I'm not a Jeter fanatic but she ran this smart and she ran comfortably. Jeter also looks slimmer which is a good thing. I'm happy Bianca isn't in. I can't stand her and hope she don't run on the relay team.

[@phebeharris]

I'm not talking about her emotions after the race. I'm talking about her.

[@BDQ1975]

You are some what wrong there. Asafa was injured last year at the worlds, hence for the reason why he didn't appear in the open 100m. Asafa won the Jamaican Nationals over Blake in 2011 since Bolt had a bye has the defending World Champion and didn't have to run at his Nationals. Most likely Frater would of been the odd man out since Carter had qualified for the 100m team too.

[@TheZoRetro]

Carmelita is just getting started she got a lot left in her tank no doubt this woman can go or 10.7's or even 10.6's come august

[@MrFlexybee]

As for this one i agree with you 100 percent. Madison will surely give them a goood lead just like she did at the penns and by the time Allyson hands of the baton to the 3rd leg runner the relay will be over .

[@MrFlexybee]

Jeter will run anchor and Madison will give them a good lead just like she did in the penn relays.Jarmoh will only be in the semi finals.

[@MrFlexybee]

but she Jeter is lucky bcos she got top end speed as well.Yea Fraser stats very fast ,no doubts about that but sometimes not able to hold her form to the finsh line,madison is a good starter too but no endurance at all.Jeter and vcb will surely use their top end speed ,when they get into thier best form and shape in London

[@beyoncestan101]

Why is nobody talking about Tianna? She shot out of those blocks.She WILL medal in London, you heard it here first!

[@A1Googler]

Not yet. Tie break and the 200m remaining. She has two chances to make the team

[@donmanj1]

You make no sense. Shelly is a 10.73 sprinter, her PB in Berlin. Shelly is a big meet performer, she places so so significance during her circuit meets

[@baaaallllz]

jeter looks strong as hell

[@CHEETAH69]

I'll go further, if she does run sub-10.70, she won't be the only one to do it. Jeter and VCB will be there too.

[@dogsarebetter]

I don't think Tarmoh had the right to say she was stolen from when she didn't even bother to make a last ditch effort.

[@Sista81]

Jeneba Tarmoh beat Bianca Knight in the 100 final [11:07 tied for 3rd] Knight: 11:14 5th] , then beat Knight in the 200 final [22.35 5th] to[ 22.60, 7th]. Yet Knight gets to run for the relay final and Tarmoh doesn't? hmmm.

[@beyoncestan101]

Look out for Kimberlyn Duncan in the 200 possible 3rd leg on USA's potential WR 4x100

[@AfricanThinker86]

You need to stop blaming victims. Blacks cannot even be racist only bigots. There IS a difference.

[@CHEETAH69]

Yeah I know. I'd never accuse someone of drug abuse with no proof. I thought that's what you were doing. And as far as Madison's seeming attitude, overall she's just seemed pretty close-mouthed with reporters. I'm thinking she probably did think she might win this. Based on the fact that she beat Jeter in the race they had right before this. but just like when she lost to VCB indoors, she should try to accept defeats a bit more gracefully. She has many more of those to come.

[@Icecoldhard]

Jeter looks huge, although I suspect it has something to do with the poor quality of the download; but she still shouldn't look that big anyway, especially at her age.

[@trackgrad08]

Tarmoh clearly got her. You can see it from the top view she was beating her right before they crossed.

[@MrFlexybee]

awwwwwwwwwwwww.........................she will surely make the 200m in the trails ,only jeter n duncan will be a threat but she will surely make it. And about winning gold in London it is purely destiny for whom ever wins.God is the one who make or crown kings. I love both vcb n felix,may the best person win.

[@MrFlexybee]

I made my statement bcos both athletes have a lot in common.they have the same coach as well same sponsors. I love Felix so much but i feel she will suffer the backlash from international community even though it is not her fault. Hope you remember gail devers victory ceremony in Barcelona 92. Tarmoh going round saying a lot of crap abt Felix in all of her interviews.

[@raymondoshodi5673]

My apology. I genuinely thought Allyson crossed first as I saw her shoes touch the line b4 Jeneba but I was wrong. Anyway Allyson is my favourite in both 100 &200 but good luck to both of them at the London Olympics. Obviously Jeneba is improving & deserves a chance. Thnx

[@TheMarsd11]

That's the truth, that was the p.c. version. But it's survival of the fittest, and we need the most competitive spirit coming out of the blocks in London. Apparently, the stress of the race and all that comes with the Olympics is a lot for most people which is understandable, and I'd rather her bow out than take Felix' spot.

[@datleoishot84]

i think it'll still be pretty good with the men.. yea bolt has run 9.76 but justin ran 9.80 and shutting it down rasing his hand.. he could have ran 9.78 at least. Tyson ran 9.86 and only his 4th race of the season.. and so already you have tyson and justin who have run faster than powell and blake. should be a very good race.

[@MrFlexybee]

Do you read peoples post before you comment?i guess not I did not say Madison will beat ur Fraser,i only said she will give the usa a good lead and that is what matters to me.Comparing what Biaca did in Daegu and she what Madison has done this year i was only tipping to give the USA a good lead. As for 10.73PB dont even go there bcos we have all seen fraser run at the penn relays and she does not even run like someone who has that PB.chillax

[@HopefulJamaican]

200 lead is almost irrelevant to me, although that was a hell of a run from Sanya. She is tactically inconsistent and I doubt she will be able to reproduce another perfect 200. The expert 200m runners Felix and VCB will make her look ordinary @ the olympics I think, and that's if she makes the team @ 200.

[@RazzleFunDazzle]

1000th of a second???!!! MY GOSH!

[@MrFlexybee]

Oh yes but Felix is not running the 400m this summer.she will only go for the 200m and 4*100m relay.And possibly the 4*400m relay.But she wont run the individual 400m bcos she did not run in the Trails.It is very obvious she is faster than Tarmoh. The only thing that surprises me is that,Felix always have a bad start in the open 100m n runs slow at times but in the relays she really flys pass most people on that 2nd leg.

[@777nicro]

I didn't hear it mentioned in the video but the third and fourth place finishers were eventually reversed. Felix finally got the third spot.

[@HopefulJamaican]

VCB is in training to make Allyson Felix cry again on August 8th :) I like Felix tho but I like VCB more. A better question is what's going on with Kerron and Sherone.

[@frameslyder1]

Disagree. Tarmoh had her chance to settle it the right way, she chose not to. This is sports, no gifts here. Even Felix was upset that she decided not to do the run off. Besides, Tarmoh is 22, Felix is 27, Tarmoh has plenty of time to get better and faster.
