VCB is one of the LIVING LEGENDS of the world athletics! Bravo!

[@MrFlexybee]

Congrats to VCB but Allyson is just incredible in this race. i still wonder how many 18yrs old would line up in an elite final of race and still medal. Congrats to both ladies for gracing us with such joy on the track. i have enjoyed the rivalry between the two .this rivalry is more epic than the one between Gohr and Evelyn Ashford

A statue of Veronica Campbell is going to be in the Jamaican National Stadium just like that of our spint Queen Merlene Ottey.

JamaicanGyrll, would you kindly advise where you got that "Allyson Felix" suspension accusation from? Since I read your comment, not one time have I seen anything about that. I'm an American and I happen to like Allyson AND Veronica Campbell. I dont think it's neccessary to use ungrounded accusations. There are some runners who I KNOW use drugs but Allyson has been clean. So please send me that link. Thanks and PEACE OUT! :-)

[@TubeUsername11111111]

Allyson Felix is probably the best sprinter of our time

[@delroy3]

I must give credit to my girl Aleen Bailey, she was hustling for that medal, but this wasn't your turn girl. I hope to see more from you soon, because you can do it. Its amazing though how both Aleen and Veronica Campbell are both from the same high school (Vere Technical High). I think the Jamaican olympic relay team for 2008 is gonna be Veronica Cambell-Brown, Sherone Simpson, Aleen Bailey and Kerron Stewart).

[@carleneenglish2444]

Why they cut off the interview. It's not just about the race, it's also the interview and the athlete last comment

[@flintus]

People are missing the point of why AF runs the 100. Its to sharpen up for the 200m. How many times has she said this... after the worlds in 2011 she felt the 400 didn't give her the speed she needed to run the 200m... so she concentrated on that... I don't think even AF thought she would medal in London. Saying that... Overall throughout events, AF is a more dynamic and versatile athlete.

[@MrFlexybee]

Far from what you thinking.I love VCB because she is a darling and a sprint queen as well.But most people fails to give Allyson Felix the due respect and credit that she deserves, she is now having the womens record at the WC with 10 medals including 8 golds as well,and with regards to her age she can see another 2 olympics to improve her medal tally as well. Even with her all round nature (100m,200m,400m,4*100m and 4*400m) people still hate and criticize her ,which is very strange to me.

[@TheJuveyhamilton]

[@jddjdd19]

Well maybe not at the last Olympics because she was more focused on trying to win the 100m gold. You can tell by the difference in her performence in the two events. But Allyson just won what Veronica has had twice before so umm... I guess she can have it now HAHA VCB been won that from all the way in 2004!

[@Kaylin011]

[@ranhill]

I would give the advantage to Felix because that 400m strength sustains her down the stretch in the 200m. Her start has GREATLY improved in 2012 through running 50m, 60m and 100m all year. The field doesn't get away from her anymore (like VCB in this race and the following Olympics.) Oh, and by the way, Felix beat VCB and Fraser-Price in the same 100m race in 2012 "Allyson Felix beats Fraser and Brown in 100m" But I do get your point and I agree: Felix can't beat VCB consistently in the 100m.

listen I am not hating on allyson. OK? First of all for a Jamaican allyson is one of my favourite athletes. I also did track so therefore you dont have to tell me about hard training. Seems like you are implicating that Veronica did steroids if you are you need to know that she has been running from a very early age both for schools and her country and has done drug tests. If anyone is hating it is you hating on VCB. Im just saying.

[@delroy3]

Yeah its gonna be a tough 200m race in the olympics this year. Allyson will be looking to dethrone Veronica but Veronica will not give it up too easily. Veronica is doing some base speed endurance work right now as she needs that to beat Allyson's strong 200m.

[@MrFlexybee]

@mallyfan Whether she can run it good or not she has done it in many meet and has a PB bellow 11 sec.the question you should be asking your self is whether VCB can run a 400m on a world stage let alone talking about 4*400m relay. Personally i dont care what you people think or say about Felix but what i know is that she will have the last laugh in this rivalry before both of the retire from the sports,and considering her age and medal count wise.

[@markpeter4304]

[@lakesha171]

When Felix was 18 all people could say was she will be the best, the same comment when she was 20 and so on. Now we are in 2011 she is probably 24 or 25 so what happened? When Veronica was 24 she had already accomplished so much from both the 100 and 200m. Nonetheless these 2 women arecurrently the best in the 200m.

[@91gt306]

Why are you hatin? Felix even admits that the 100m isnt her specialty, an even then she made the final. She took gold in 200m her specialty, and also took gold in 4x100 relay assisiting in breaking the world record. Nope that doesnt suck.

[@lakesha171]

@MrFlexybee Well it doesnt matter what you say. It is my view of both athletes. You are going to say when it comes on to success Allyson is far ahead. Do you even know how many medals VCB holds from her junior days up until now? Please. It is all a matter of opinion. To be given the TITLE of being the greatest athlete will always be disputed by others. Allyson is the best all rounder that I have ever seen. That title I will give to her.
