Great News/Results!!
This is what I call great newsOriginally posted by Willi View Post
!!
Melaine Walker is quite clearly and obviously the very best on the planet at this time (Olympic Games record, IAAF World Championships record, the second fastest 400-meter hurdles time in history by a woman), and to have a fellow Jamaican beating her bodes well for the future of women’s 400-meter hurdling in Jamaica!!
Kaliese Spencer, in placing fourth in Berlin, has proven that she is a genuine product. Hopefully, she will continue to improve her times and make this rivalry reach the level of a “Bolt vs. Powell” or “Fraser vs. Stewart vs. Simpson,” thereby stamping Jamaica’s authority on women’s 400-meter hurdling in the same way that the 100-meter men and women have stamped their authority on the sprints!
For those readers and posters who are belatedly recognizing Stephen Francis as a genius, it’s better to be late than never, as Francis’ genius had been proven beyond dispute a long time ago!

see i wouldn't go raving about this... they are team-mates... they both are (obviously) working on different aspect of their races and are at differing stages in their preparations...
i look at the times and that tells me all i need to know... still, a win is a win for the winner... winning brings confidence... still, its about the time...
i expect good things from kaleise in the coming years...'to get what we've never had, we MUST do what we've never done'Comment

I was just about to post a similar comment. When Spencer beat Walker in the mid 52's and lower then I will say, blows and skirt, dah gal ya bad!!
Walker is straight up cut throat, when the time comes to step up she takes it to another level, I would like to see that brain under a scope pre big race, she is definitely drwaing on that other 90% they say we haven't tapped as yet.Comment

i watched the race... melaine gave her that race... came up on her shoulder at the 9th hurdle and just let kaliese take the win... nothing to write home for either of them, except the bigger check for the winner... the olympic and world champ covered that with appearance fee... lol... its all good... mw is a benevolent killer...'to get what we've never had, we MUST do what we've never done'Comment
