These new athletes are coming off as one-hit wonders, with a world of praise before really proving themselves to the sport. And doing a lot of talk and media BEFORE they put up any real numbers.

Sha’Carri thought it was possible to cash in from popularity driven by the media, but not suffer from the same process when her performances aren’t good. That’s not how it works. A simple reason why this is that never gets mentioned is that the media loses credibility when fans notice the media goes silent when the athletes they prop up aren’t criticized when they fail. Reporters actually have to remain credible to be relevant.

She seems to have a bit of a behavioral disorder which she mask with the over-the-top wardrobe, make-up and accessories. Realize her biggest problem is her FANS. Sounds crazy, but it's true. For Sha'Carri to develop the psyche to consistently be that elite athlete, she needs her fans to support her track performance and NOT her "trap" performance. So if her PR team is about that, and slicing off the "twerking enablers" Social Media fanbase so she can get that "working enablers" fanbase, then yes, a new PR team could work.

Allyson Felix is the most decorated US track and field athlete in history (male or female), even surpassing Carl Lewis. She has also by far been the most versatile female runner on the world stage medalling in everything from 100m and 200m to 400m, individually and in relays. Beyond their success, both runners are also by far the most consistent with unrivalled longevity in the sport, even after becoming mothers. Tokyo was Allyson's 5th(!) olympics, her first was in 2004. Similarly, Shelly-Ann won her first olympic gold in 2008 at 21, at the same time as Bolt's breakthrough. She has dominated the 100m ever since and is still the world lead in 2022 at 35 years old - she has already ran 10.67 this year. We can agree to disagree, of course, but the stats are there for people who really follow t&f beyond the media hype.

Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce and Allyson Felix consider the sport to be their profession whereas this other individual sees it as a steppingstone to sponsors. She is chasing money and not the glory of being a great runner. In many sports the athletes get rich through sponsors ( Nike, Gatorade etc) so THIS individual is on stage for the sponsors.

Let's take Simone Biles out of that conversation. Her struggles were physical. No different from when an athlete is injured. She still went on the GOAT tour and advocated for women and mental health after withdrawing from the individual and all-around at the Olympics. She has been consistently doing her thing and standing on her platform from day one. She won a record breaking 5th World Championship with the goat on her back. I don't put her in the same category as Naomi Osaka or Sha'Carri when it comes to her social media engagement affecting her abilities.

The twisties (what she had) are when the gymnast loses control of their body as they are making their twists through the air. That's a physical problem. She almost landed flat on her back when trying to do her vault. If she kept going, she could have landed on her neck and been permanently injured.

@@mycitysucks8096 I don't understand what difference it makes whether she gave the public a ton of details in the beginning or not. Being the GOAT means doing things that no one else has done.

I would think your decades of viewing gymnastics would have made that point all the more poignant for you.

Great commentary...I appreciate every word that was said. People are always tip toeing around this issue because of the ( sensitive issue of mental illness). Why is it that they are so mentally strong to take all the praises when they win. But its like, don't say anything negative when I loose. Smh. I wish the world was like that. We 9 - 5 workers who work from pay check to pay check get disrespected, abused, treated like less than human beings every day and still have to show up for work. I remember Serena and Venus getting called all kind of names from the stand and still went on to win their matches and become one the greatest to ever play the game. So....I am so happy to hear what you have to say about these athletes who are finding excuses and are so fragile. They are seen on social media gaining more are more popularity... but when the media ask them a tough question about loosing it affects their mentality. In my humble opinion if someone is that mentally fragile stay away from social media. Its not hard to do. Work on your craft, and most of them are rich enough to get counseling...unlike us whose pay check, after paying bills can hardly buy food. But like I said its just my humble opinion...Jamaican Fan.

I've said this on Twitter and other KZbin videos, and I'm going to say it again. She can't tell everyone she's the best, dress like she think she's the best, and then play victim when everyone expects her to be the best. Sha'Carri is not mature enough to take all the attention in strides. US track and field jumped the gun in their desperation to find the next superstar athlete from the US. Sha'Carri is the perfect example of what happens when a "celebrity" start believing their own hype. 10.75 at a young age is great but so what? There have been many young so called prodigies in the world of sports who never live up to the hype. The difference is many stay grounded until they start gaining accomplishments. When they don't accomplish much they go away quietly and we get a what happened story later down the years. Sha'Carri on the other hand is playing it out as if she's already won championships and broken records. At the age of 22 she wants to be a spoke person for a sport that she hasn't accomplished anything in. That should tell you exactly where her mindset is. In her head that 10.75 is the most amazing thing ever done in the world of track and field. She's a hype job who was manufactured by the media to bring attention to the sport and be a cash cow for Nike. The media and her fans who are mostly fans of Sha'Carri and not the sport of track and field, built her up into some amazing athlete which in reality she isn't.

Sadly, Sha'Carri's mindset is shared by many young athletes who think they can rest on their laurels when they get one noteworthy accomplishment. Yeah, she was ranked the 10th fastest person in the world. But the people she ran against already broke into a higher competition bracket or won their first gold medal or world championship; she's acting like she's a multiple-time world champion with nothing to show. Outside of that 10.75, she only got an Olympic pre-trail she did decently in but didn't make the team, and that's really it. For all the buster she's been spewing on social media or to whoever puts a camera in her face. She seriously needs to take a long look at herself and ask if this is something she truly wants to do because, eventfully, the limelight fades fast to those that don't accomplish anything in sports.
