[@eduribe8894]

During last year's season the analysts and talking heads were amazed at how many competitions she entered, how many races she ran. Well, unfortunately for her, the body can only take just so much before it starts to breakdown. In Steiner's case, given her age, breakdown comes in the form of nagging (minor) injuries. This young lady needs to be more selective of where and what events she runs.

[@16nowhereman]

It's always tough to compete at this level after injuries. She is still young.

[@brokl26]

@@16nowhereman Yeah, she’s young. That’s a valid point, but she’s older than Sha’ Carrri Richardson. Abby Steiner needs to start beating the worlds best when it’s head to head instead of putting up good times when Abby is the only talent in the field. Abby is strong, as running the curves shows. Abby also trains very hard. She may, one day, start beating the world’s best, but right now, she’s only dominant indoors. I do root for Abby. But I’ve never been overwhelmed by her times outdoors. I’m also not impressed by her arm swing. Her arms have too much side to side action which is kind of counter productive. If her arm swing is considered effective, the top tier runners would also use the same technique. But who am I but a complete idiot. Just ask my wife of thirty years.

[@GreekboyyD]

6th place is better than you thought?

[@ljsmixbox44]

@GreekboyyD Yes. The field was stacked. You have to understand that Abby is coming off a serious injury. So for her..6th place is good. But if Sha'Carri finished in 6th, that would be unexpeptable. When Abby gets her time, lock down. Meaning her time will be pretty much the same or better. I'm looking for her to be a threat next year. She just might be elected to go to the Olympics to be a standby for the 4x100 and the 4x400 relay team.. If something happens to another runner. Plus, she has gold in both of those events.

[@ljsmixbox44]

@Tbrew-zd6xb Yes, but not all through college.😁 The most serious injury, which was like this one, was her junior year at Kentucky. She sat her junior year out and broke all the women's NCAA records her senior year. So she's no stranger to injuries. She had injuries in high school and managed to get a scholarship to KU for soccer ⚽️ and track 👣. Injuries come with sports. So what is your point?

[@phoebus]

For those of you who don't know it Abby's time of 22.03 at the Trials currently makes her the 5th fastest 200m woman in the world this year. Any other country and she would be in the Olympics.

[@phoebus]

Well three of them ran sub 22 in the finals, Richardson did it in the first two rounds but not the finals. Abby could have run under 22 in the semis but she eased up at the end. Abby did not have good race in the finals, part of the problem was caused by Richardson not having good a race. Abby was keying off Richardson who was one lane to her outside and thinking that Richardson would go out to another blistering first 100m Abby figured if she came off the turn close to Richardson she would be alright, problem was Richardson did not have a super fast first 100m leaving Abby behind the leaders that were further to the outside. And that was another problem, lane 5 on tired legs is not as good as one of the outside lanes and part of what happened is that even though Brown was in lane 9 Gabby had passed her so early in the turn that Brown was able pace her race by chasing Gabby in lane 8 and Long in lane 7 could do the same thing.

Yes, Richardson had to stay home two years ago when she was 100% healthy. She's juicing now timing her cycle to the most important meet last year the World where she was slow beginning of season until she's juiced right before world's where she instantly got much faster and then gradually got slower afterwards as the season progressed. She started this season very slow running 23+ sec 200 m until she did her cycle for this Olympic trials although she still couldn't make the , 200m team. Usually just one cycle a season or risk getting caught, but have done one for the trials and she will be lower by the time the Olympic games begins so there will be immense pressure for her to cycle again and I think she will. Gabby does also demonstrated by the disparity of her up and down quickness and don't think for a second the Jamaicans aren't juicing! They all taking the Tren like Richardson and Gabby.

given the nature o the injuries and time necessary to heal, the results are a really good indicator that your are on the mend...its tough in an olymmpic year, but take the good from this and take it slow. You'll be doing 21.80 again soon..

Abby if there is an upside to your season... you've run faster than Gabby Thomas, Twahishsa Terry, and a few others. You've "arrived" as far as I'm concerned. I've followed you from your days in Kentucky. I believe you are a real competitive runner and athlete. I'll be following you throughout the years. Keep up the competitive spirit and good luck going forward.The next Olympics will be held in Los Angeles, CA in 2028. You'll be the fastest sprinter in the world.

[@NelsonJ1]

Just dumb. How is that an upside when the two people you mentioned are going to Paris.

[@William-ui5dj]

@@NelsonJ1Yes it is unfortunate that Abby won't be going to Paris. But There have been races this season where Abby has been Gabby and Tawana Terry in the 200m.

[@NelsonJ1]

@@William-ui5dj Abby didn't beat Gabby this year. None of those early races even matter. It was all tune up for the Olympic trials. All the best 200m runners got beat by a 400m hurdler earlier this year.

We support you from NW Ohio, you’ve been great to watch and a true class act. Rest, recover and keep doing what you’re doing. 6th with that group in reality is phenomenal following your recent surgery. 🙏

Just wasn't meant to be at this time, Steiner. She was in a favorable lane and had Richardson, Long and Thomas in front of her. Hopefully, she'll make one of the relay teams.

[@everlast9901]

Why should she make any of the relays?

Hate to say it but she will not get any faster. No chance against the best .

For whatever reason she wasn't ready. She has four years to prepare. I would re-evaluate everything.

[@conniernordan]

@@Tbrew-zd6xb It's Connier... maybe she did. It's not reality bc we said it, it's up to her. But injuries say something..I would get a new Coach, change many things bc what she is doing is not working. She may have to really get focused...no boy friend, no vices, just depends on how bad she wants it. That's what a few hundreths or tenths means at this level.

The problem with abbey was her own media supporter who were telling her she was the best out there and it’s been proven over the last 4 years that she never was

[@SDesWriter]

@@lloydgeorge8799 well she placed 5th in the world championships a couple years ago so obviously she was pretty close to the best. She had faster times than this in college so whether it’s recovering from the injury or just not having enough races this year, this is obviously not the best she can do.

[@ovin3912]

Yes, of course she got the hype, and I'll just choose to leave it at that

[@SDesWriter]

@@Tbrew-zd6xb she plays this at the world championships. Exactly what pros do you think she has to run against who weren’t at the meet or tried to qualify for the meet?

[@SDesWriter]

@@Tbrew-zd6xb she placed fifth in the world two years ago in the finals. She won the NCAA indoor (twice) and outdoor 200 and set the collegiate record for the indoor and outdoor 200. I get it, you want to hate her and I have a pretty clear idea why. But if you think you’re going to get on here and lie to make your point, you’re wrong.

Abbey is fast enough. It's her training , maybe it's time for a change. She is fast enough.

[@GreekboyyD]

No she isn't.

[@OmahaSand]

Needs new coaching .... Body looks soft.. Prandini doesn't have Abby's speed but at least she comes in top shape.. Abby is not chizeled like Prandini or the top flight runners... Steiner is not in the physical shape of Prandini, Richardson, Jackson. Also too soft mentally .. too much "gee whiz shucks gosh" and not enough Tiger/Charging Rhino. Needs to become competitive and fiesty... with a slam dunk strong ass physique... then the 21.7 .. that she's run 1 time.. will become comonplaace. Needs an immediate Coaching upgrade to make these things happen.

[@joseph.ant_xx303]

100% agree with what you write. Abby looks very fragile and weak to me, without a doubt her physical condition is not optimal. Abby's muscles are scrawny
