Dafne Schippers wins womens 200m on her Birthday Day - IAAF Diamond League Oslo 2017

I LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN DAFNE SCHIPPERS.

@Leela Brannigan what are you a man or a woman I cannot tell by your name it could be masculine or feminine your name. What do you mean eat it eat what? Watch who you talk to.

[@creativitycell]

She can get away with anything as far I'm concerned, one of my faves, an absolute Goddess, There will be statues of Dafne all over Holland when she stops running! Amazonian Dutch Goddess! God was on fire the day her created "The Schippers".😲🔥🔥🔥👏👌👍❤️❤️❤️

[@jietzemiedema8002]

Fanny Blankers Koen won 4 gold medals in the Olympics about 60 years ago, all in sprinting. She was blond ,tall ,slow start, came from other sport, and came from the same town as Dafne did.

[@uselessjoe]

Dafne is a beast of a woman...she is still in the top 3 in the 200m

[@cc-cy]

She still can't beat the Jamaicans 😆

[@phoebus]

@@cc-cy No what you mean is she can't beat the Jamaicans now, she did beat them in 2015, but nobody can stay on top forever.

[@cc-cy]

@@phoebus She cheated this race!😆. She may be fast on the European stage but not on the Olympic stage. Schiffers beat Elaine Thompson twice :2015 Beijing and 2016 Oslo .and Schiffers has never won against ET since.

[@phoebus]

@@cc-cy How did she cheat? She wasn't allowed to keep running after the false start and it was the official who agreed with her appeal and did it right away meaning he heard the same thing she did from the crowd. Also who is Schiffers? Her name is Schippers. And women's bodies change, some women can maintain a track career for a long time while others for only a few years and some women are the fastest they will ever be in high school or even earlier. It all depends on the person. Also I do remember Schippers winning a Silver in the 200 meter in the Rio Olympics. She wasn't quite as fast a ET in that race but she did beat every other woman on the planet.

[@cc-cy]

@@phoebus even the commentator was surprised she got away with that false start🙆 .Schiffers ain't never won an Olympic gold medal in any year on this planet.

[@looneyliina]

I think the false start rule is pretty harsh anyway. For years you got a warning for one false start and disqualification if you did it a second time.

[@schalkuys1506]

Athletes have spent years getting to these events and the idea that you can be disqualified for ONE false start just isn't fair on any of them.

[@rollysj384]

same thought.

[@ed19742006]

It is difficult for judges to determine if it was intentional.

[@michaelfortunato1860]

Agree.

[@robjohnson8861]

WTF. Remember that time when the world discarded compliance for every excuse under the sun. I love her, but she broke the rules. What would have been total class on her part is to walk back like she was gonna race then wave to crowd and walk off the track.

[@captsaison9343]

Well, she is getting near the end of her sprinting life now in 2020 but still a lovely, gracious woman and the man she picks to share her life with will be a lucky man indeed. She never had a great start out of the blocks but had such a powerful stride that from 50 to 100 meters she could usually pull away with sheer strength and power.

Dafne doesn't make the rules or enforce them. If the officials let her race after the bungled start then that is the end of it. No matter the British opposition and claims to the contrary. Congra†elations Dafne.

[@captsaison9343]

Lalova-Collio is very beautiful and has a great smile. Can also run!

[@phoebus]

Lalova-Collio ran 10.77 seconds in the 100 meter way back in 2004, at the time I believe she was in the top ten of fastest women ever. She could have been a bigger name in the sport but had a very serious nearly career ending injury that kept her out for a long time when she was just getting to her peak as a sprinter.

[@gatekeeperboxing5898]

Dafne wiped the floor with all of them, end of discussion. If they let her run, they let her run why keep moaning and moaning about it. If it was Usain Bolt they would let him off too, and the commentators would not complain.

[@TimmyMack100]

You can see the kid in the stands, right across from her, hitting the side boards with his hands. Then when they restart the race he doesn't do it again. It's pretty obvious that was the sound that made her false start.

[@armasrammo4793]

I'm totally certain of that as well. The kid was already trying to pretend he was the starter, trying to time his board hit with his hand to the gun. Thankfully, Dafne was done right by the decision. Meanwhile, the area near the start like that needs to be 'patrolled' to prevent such occurrences.

[@phoebus]

People were literally standing on the apron of the track hanging over over the wall. There is no way a crowd should be allowed to be that close at the start.

[@yesterdayproductions1019]

One false & you're disqualified is complete bullshit. That British commentator needed to quit "obsessing" over them letting her run the race. He just wouldn't shut up about it & it was annoying as hell.

Exactly. She c-r-e-a-m-e-d them all. Put up or shut up, bitches.

[@SeisanStnc]

Hmmm ... Schippers wins handily over the best of the USA, Jamaica, UK, etc., who all finish fairly evenly; her parents are not noted runners; and she maintains a stubborn case of acne. Nope. Nothing suspicious there! See: Kostas Kenteris and Katrin Krabbe...

[@johnpcurtin6313]

Being DQed for one false start is unfair. If the rules commitees knew what they were doing they would add a 10th of a second or the amount of time of the false start to the competitors time but keep everybody in the race but Olympic committees, athletic committees, rules committees and fans still do not know how to think about these sorts of things. People are generally stupid. Dafne's winning time would have been 1/10th of a second more or more by the amount of her false start. That is fair and that is the way to do it. She might have come in second, third, or slower. In this race she would still have won.

Dafne does look heavier here than in 2013-2016. Not sure if its the training but I've no doubt she lives a disciplined lifestyle.

The sprints. 60m 100m 200m 400m are decided by tenths and thousandths. When someone is out of their blocks seconds before anyone else like Schippers was that headstart means no one else can win fairly

They need to get rid of the false start elimination rule anyway... people argue that it then means that each runner gets at least one false start each or it wastes time... realistically, there hasn’t been more than one false start in major competitions and it’s probably a minute to reset the race...

The false start rule is bull. After the 80's it was pointless because the athletes became the stars of the sport and the fans came and paid good money to see them. They are PAID Pro athletes getting prize money and appearance money. Basketball gives 5 fouls and then your out.

[@iqtuz]

Okey, for all the keyboard warriors that wasn't even at the event: There were kids down by the first row(right besides the athletes) who jumped off of their seats(thus making the seat flap back into position and making a sharp noise). This is what Dafne said to the refs, so she was allowed to run "under protest"(read up on the IAAF rules). After the race the judges watched camera footage of the spectators that Dafne claimed jumped off of their seats, and it was indeed the case - hence why she kept her win.

[@Astro2024]

iqtuz why didn't it affect everyone else?

[@iqtuz]

That's a stupid question, and you know it. Firstly, they are running from different lanes. Secondly, people react differently. If you had actual brains, you'd go to diamondleague.com and read the reason why she was allowed to run under protest and why she got to keep her win.

[@Astro2024]

iqtuz that's a dumb argument and you know it. People react differently to the gun itself. By that logic, there shouldn't be a false start rule at all

[@KoolKaiser]

All rules were followed...but its obvious they were this lenient because it was her bday or because of favouritism (which i hope not). She didn't even have to talk to the official for more than 5secs, he was gonna let her run regardless of her excuse.
