Julien is 23, Melissa is 23, Sha'Carri is 24, Gabby is 27, and Brown is 29. All the female medalist are under 30. Meanwhile Shericka is 30, Elaine is 32 and Shelly -Ann is 37. All the Jamaicans are 30+. Running at this level takes a huge toll on the body, once you hit 30 even though you still have a lot of speed you'll have some serious wear and tear which can result injury. Unfortunately I think this is exactly what happened to the Jamaicans, I know these are superwomen but I think Jamaica needed a younger squad too seriously compete in the Olympics

[@epic7224]

Yeap very much so! We have younger ppl but they are still in junior athletics and those that aren't just aren't ready yet.

[@sandyjr5225]

Shericka will return this season, and I also hope she returns for the 2025 Tokyo World Athletics Championships.

[@wesleyowens4089]

They really don't have a younger squad to compete yet. I'm sure they'll have competitors soon though. Safp is retiring and Elaine is done whether she realizes it yet or not. Shericka can stick around for a little longer though. They're hope right now it's tia Clayton. At least the men have two really great young guys for the 100 but they're lacking 200m athletes as well right now

[@farzana6676]

The opposite is true for the mens side. They have Kishane Thomson and Oblique Seville. USA don't really have quick new blood coming through in the 100

[@SamziinO]

Agreed. They need an Oblique Seville and Kishane Thompson. They need a young elite female squad. But then again who cares the Caribbean island stands as one big island or a tiny continent Lool. So we still have Julian Alfred from St. Lucia

[@verstappen9937]

Same. I feel so bad for Shericka though. She’s got such incredible speed but seems to miss so many opportunities to get major medals. I hope she returns and wins Olympic gold. In 2023 I felt for sure she’d win not just the 200 but it was looking like she’d beat Sha’carri too and shericka isn’t even a 100m specialist. She’s overshadowed by Elaine and Shelly but imma be real, right now Shericka is the strongest of the Jamaicans. Shelly and Elaine are all time greats but both injured and have had a very unfortunate year

[@mds2672]

I literally just wrote this in the comments. It’s like the golden generation ages out or got injured and for the first time they were no young athletes available to step up. Very strange to se from Jamaica, they usually always have a wave of talent to step up

[@ryu-ken]

The Jamaican's are aging out. New kids not good enough yet

[@66fredo99]

More interesting? how so? Their vets have almost aged out plus they're injured. As they say, Father Time is undefeated. The young female whelps are not nearly as talented and thus haven't been received and fully supported IMO because the bar and the expectations are so high. Now, because of the pull outs by Shericka and SAFP they're debating whether to enter the women's 4x100 event at all.

[@epic7224]

We're not as big as America so there will be times when there's a gap because people aren't ready yet. Don't worry though there are more great sprinters, they are just either still in juniors or just coming out of juniors like Tia, Levell and Oblique so they aren't ready for a stage like the Olympics yet. It's just a matter of time.

[@lincolnjean-louis615]

Before I begin, I give all props to Gabby Thomas for winning the 200m race. However, I think the organizers need to look at the women's 200m race and make it more fair to the athletes. Julien Alfred (there may have been others) ran the 100m qualifiers and semis and the finals, then she ran the qualifiers for the 200m and semis without getting a rest. In fact, Julien ran six days straight before the 200m finals. She was exhausted. And it showed. Gabby Thomas only ran the 200m so she was obviously fresh. Not only that, Julien, as the second fastest 200m qualifier, should have been assigned one of the better lanes. She was assigned lane 8. She couldn't have gotten a worse lane than that. So, for the next Olympics, the organisers should look into that (giving a rest to the ladies because they did schedule for the men).

So many disrespect comments. This was well deserved by Gabby, and great job by Alfred to get a silver in her less favourable race. It would have been great if Shericka was there, but a country the calibre or Jamaica really dropped the ball. There should have been 2 if not 3 Jamaicans running in the finals like the US had. The athletes are not machines, injuries happen but I think it’s crazy that there was not 1 single Jamaican was running. Maybe their golden generation is over and they didn’t have enough young talent to step up but whatever the reason Gabby and America did their job and showed up in force to run.
