[@VineyardGaden]

From the age of 21 to 37, Shelly has been toiling for herself and Jamaica, with great accomplishments. It just seems no other J-can athlete, male/female, want to be bothered, hence the struggle among the athletes you talked about. I just hope Shelly can do an Olympic Gold one last time before she retires. Furthermore, I don't want to even think about any J-can relay team.......for the Olympics.

[@Adrianallsportshow]

[@anthonyhewitt819]

Maverick we hear you but maybe it might be a bit too early for us to start wondering about our athletes. The trials will indicate to us whether or not we should be concerned about our sprinters. I believe a lot will change over the next 4 weeks. As long as our main athletes are not injured we will be fine. May was not the month for our athletes to sparkle. Patience is a virtue!!!

[@markfoga]

The jamaican long jumpers are amongst the best in the world right now - Wayne Pinnock (silver at worlds) and Tayjay (bronze at worlds) along with Carey McLeod who could have medaled last year at World's but injured himself in finals (4th place). Triple Jump Jaydon Hibbert is on fire and has been having a phenomenal season. For hurdles - I'm not counting out Roshawn Clark - he is super talented and he is looking great. Even if he doesn't medal at Paris - he has a bright future .

Thanks for being able to split justuce and be realistic. Any other season we would be going into the Olympics with a clear rival based on performance from the season leading up. The announcers aren't even counting us in. All attention is on Christian Coleman, Shacarri, Noah Lyles, Sydney, Camacho-Quinn, Kerr vs Ingerbristen, Paulino, Femke Bol, etc. Jamaican names aren't even in the mix of conversation as the favorites to win. Right now them even write off Shericka by saying she's in danger if Sydney choose to run the 200m. I love our athletes but they can’t always be on top so the fans who are in denial will be up for a disappointment if a wow moment doesn't happen now or at trials.

I have been saying this for awhile the Jamaica track program needs to be re construct the program isent what it use to be and also the coaches need to work together but seems everyone wants to be seen as the best

[@delta_tango_dt]

Agree with you Maverick. We not saying all the athletes should be blazing right now but a few should be showing some medal contender form or getting close to that form so close to trials. And we talking about the track athletes. Hibbert and the other jumpers showing good form. Only Ruschelle looks like she's on track to do some damage in the 400m hurdles right now and there's no reason to believe that she wont continue to improve until the Olympics. And that's what we need to see because she has Femke and Sydney who says she's running the 4 hurdles and not the flat 400m, to compete with. I see ppl say Seville look good but his 200m times not all that great, just a pb and the best by a Jamaican this season. Those times would have to improve some to even make 200m semis in Paris. I can't say him on track until i see him in a 100m race with some of the top guys because it not only about times but how to handle pressure against the big guns. Whats also strange is the few number of meets that our athletes have taken part in so far. Is it the they are so far behind in training?The Americans have been out and running all over the place and are still expected to contend for top medals in all the sprints in Paris. So what is our problem? I dont expect Shelly to run alot before Paris but what's happening with the others?

I agree totally with you. I have been thinking that long before this video. Actually started already to not expect too much from Jamaica this Olympics. I totally agree with you that something is wrong with the Jamaica program. Every season from Bolt to now itseems the athletes werestarting from scratch every season. While the Americans start the season not missing a beat. Their form and execution don't seem rudimentary like the Jamaican especially Bolt. Jadon Hibbert don't look bad. I am afraid to say Brianna Lyston may bruk soon. So I am excited about her but very wary of that possibility.
