WHY WE LOVE TA LOU!

[@chelseaclinton4535]

Talou,is our African Empress and we love her so much.💯❤️❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@MarciaSantos-ox1fk]

Ta Lou rightfully deserves her flowers and I’m happy that JA’cans gave it to her. In another era, Ta Lou would’ve been a highly decorated sprinter like her peers. Unfortunately, she’s competing in an era with the four of the top fastest female sprinters of all time. Not to be outdone, she still has the 6th fastest time in history and holds the title as the fastest African female sprinter ever. So yes she deserves MUCH respect not only for her athletic prowess but also for her graciousness on and off the track- even in the face of defeat.

[@Life1x2]

@MarciaSantos Well said!!!

[@sarahsweeney7124]

She was great 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 love Ta Lou Smith

[@johnroomes3847]

I think Ta-Lou ran that race to honour us Jamaicans. Its as if she did not want to let us down, so she won it for us... to put on a good show for us.

[@jakan6793]

Yep. True words

[@elizabethhenrypottinger2591]

Yes Maverick we love that little African queen. We respect her a lot too!

[@lanettewilliams7122]

With the reception that Talou got, you'd think she was one of Jamaica's superstars.

[@unconventionalcrosy52]

Only u would think that

[@lindonhinkson8111]

That's because she cannot beat Shelly plus she is Shelly friend.

We Jamaicans love Africa and Africans they're our brothers and sisters one love MAMA ❤️ Africa 🌍

[@RichardWillis-fn4hg]

​@@RicardoJohnson-ic2obI respect Africans but Africans are Jamaicans not Jamaica brothers and sisters, Afrekanz are the ones that captured your jamaican ancestors and sold them to the white man in the Caribbean,so get you facts straight before u talk nonsense

[@benten6259]

She and dina get the biggest crowd support no joke

[@StGCfiLife]

TaLou is a sweetheart.

[@humanform5354]

If only there was a way for us to officially adopt her, I would be on board 100%...

Ta Lou has a certain class on and off the field!!!

We are Africans,you guys remember when Tonian Singh won the Miss World title, and how the Nigerian celebrate for her all Love❤....Out Of Many One People ❤❤❤❤ All about the love

Ta Lou is such a humble soul ,happy that she get to witness how Jamaicans love her

[@sarahsweeney7124]

True Maverick I got goosebumps when the crowd hailed her.

[@electratrinidad810]

We love ❤️ Talou too. Hoping that she gets everything that she deserves and more this year 🇹🇹

[@winsomerattigan4293]

Talou, is my girl, I love her. She is very Humble and Respectful to her fellow Athletes. Shelly gives her great Love and Respect !!!

[@305jett]

Honestly what brings tears to my eyes,is when a hug crystal runs second to her, crystal said auntie I did it,

[@Jay-yl6nd]

I think we missed paying attention to TaLou’s knee lifts. Her knee lifts resembles that of Carmelita Jeter and M. Green. And they were sustained through the finish line. No more grimace on her face through the last 40 meters, she was relaxed. That is interesting!!

[@anthonysunich]

Real talk Maverick and also Dina Asha Smith got a good reception.

[@kay_reigna]

I was at the stadium Maverick and she got the loudest reception of the night followed closely by Jadon Hibbert. I agree with you in terms of the African connection but in addition she has an endearing personality that appeals to the Jamaican people plus she treats our athletes well when they’re abroad so we treat her good when she come into our home

[@roannethompson7244]

True man, me love her, she can come first over our runners any day and me still feel good and happy. Yeah, she a Shelly tight piece.

[@christineh94]

It was the friendship between her and Shelly that captivated me initially, and that prompted me to start noticing her warm amd humble nature. I saw her alot but would never have paid much attention if it wasn't for Shelly Ann.

[@evertonthomas3883]

Respect 🙏 to Talou,luv her she always show respect to the the jamaicans athlete,especially shellyann fraser.

[@monicamartin6069]

Nuff Jamaican love & respect to TaLou. Talented, gutsy, committed, elegant & gracious indeed.

[@lansleyblake1848]

Superstar sweetheart humble real darling of the track

[@oneilj7311]

Yeah man Talou, Dina Asher and Camaletta Jetter..... Jamaicans love Dem bad

[@monicamartin6069]

Don't forget Allison Felix. I call her Felix the Fox. Nice, gracious, talented athlete.

[@claudetteduffus8579]

Maverick she is darling i watch her run she is so humble love her wishing her all the best

[@Sashi5992]

Love her From 2016 when she comfort Shelly when she had the toe injury, they both ran 10:82 but shelly won by a mili sec yet in her disappointment she showed love my respect for her increase from then. She would have won that Olympic bronze missed it by the skin of her teeth and she was still graceful gotta love her and wish her the very best!

[@vicjohn441]

Well, well, well, the Maverick hits the nail on the head. Jamaican loves almost everything that's African. I have seen a few comments where persons, Jamaicans, had stated that they would like Talou to get a medal even if it means that one of the Jamaicans ladies have to lose it to her.

[@305jett]

Consider the fact that she started out very late in track and field career,she was in to soccer at her younger age,she was 19 years old when get in track and field, while Jamaican girl started out early,

[@mayleenburnettwallace9521]

I love her how happy she felt when she looked down and saw it was a picture of Bob Marley she received. Just love her humbleness.

[@karengolaub8910]

Yes Tal lu we as Jamaican love you very much..❤❤❤

Who doesn't love Talou? We all do!

[@zvenx]

What it is for me, is that everytime the Jamaicans beat her, she goes over and congratulate them in such a genuine, I happy for you way, it is almost painful to watch...she seems to genuinely love shelly et al..

[@otisbrooks8365]

Fi reall she is loving and humble

[@angelarodney5005]

That’s so true. We really love her because of her humility.

[@heisenberg8083]

😂 Can remember Ta lou from her locks short. Her longevity is similar to Shelly.

[@buhrochem]

It’s her friendly rivalry with Shelly Ann that endears the Jamaican people to her. No pity is in that liking Maverick.

[@donnatwin]

Shes a formidable opponent...we love her... Talou is adopted by us

[@rudolphharrigan1804]

She's a good and humble individual 😊

[@visjahbless1896]

That's right we appreciate her, from the heart ❤️ 💙 💜 💖

[@ryanporter9134]

The same way you yesterday stated that you love the humility that ShaCarri showed by going in the free stands. It means you are Jamaican too Maverick. 👊🏾

True and she have a love for Shelly even though she ran so much 4th

[@eligiblesam5654]

Superb form by ta Lou

[@unconventionalcrosy52]

She an shelly did a par that's why some people like her other than her qualities. She reminds me of churandy Martina of Netherlands. Other than her world champs 100m medal years ago she is the "almost queen" of athletics. Good run on saturday

[@rqztaz]

Jamaicans be like "humblest calf drink the most milk" and you wonder why we so poor

[@rqztaz]

Long time mi love her

[@Patrick-e2u5e]

Talou is a talented sprinter. The queen of African sprinting. It's unfortunate she's a contemporary of Jamaica's top female sprinters. Her graciousness is refreshing. I hope she'll do well in Paris, but not at the expense of our girls. Hail Queen Jose Marie!😊

[@jakan6793]

You got the humble part right, the apologetic love and the ally too. You get it right

[@andrebrown5484]

Throughout the race, only the shadow of Briana Williams was seen. I am honestly concerned about her development

[@lyndonfrancis7187]

She is not improving

[@jehovahrohi969]

I've told people b4 she's done she has reached her limitations and that's just part a life not everyone will excel to great heights.

[@juniorreid9583]

After Track & Field she will get the key to Kingston ❤

[@rqztaz]

The question is; could she have run faster if the Jamaican greats were😮 not around and would her times be fast enough to dominate dominate? She has achieved as much as her talents allowed her. We also loved Blessing before she got caught

[@crazyswaby]

Alysson Felix is the only other athlete I can recall getting a similar reception.

[@brandonsaunders7515]

Yessir

[@christopherhamilton8779]

Let’s face it. Why we love her is that she is rarely a threat to our top three.

[@christopherhamilton8779]

People don’t participate in sports to be humble. They participate to win

You going to take her spot?

[@andieslive669]

Honestly, Jamaican Athetics because the are the only ones always making the sacarifics.

[@highthoughts1]

Only Allyson Felix comes near to the love that Jamaicans have for Talou as an outside female runner...or, maybe it's a tie...

[@dubsounds]

Only unuh Kingstonians, and people from Spanish Town love humidity. Not me. Country sweet nuh raas What? Humility? ....,,Never mind.

[@Joy-sp3il]

So do what the Africans do they give the Chinese the medal

[@allewayne2810]

Maverick, it seems like you don't like humidity.. See Sha Carri after she began to humble herself she is doing better...God himself said he that humble himself shall be exalted...and he that exalt himself shall be made humble... Go and look up the many spots person who exalt themselves and were leave embarrassed. You need to do a video on that one.

[@dubsounds]

Maverick, yuh mad nuh rhatid. Suh you a seh that our love for the lady is somewhat condescending? Or apologetic, because we stop har from nyam food. No man. I like her because her persona reminds me of the basic Jamaican girl of yesteryear......You remember Peaches, don't you?

[@OralTraceyMaverick]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@georgiabarker6852]

Looks like Brianna and the Clayton twins will be cursed with the, “shine as a junior but can’t make it in the senior ranks” curse.
