    i love and respect merlene ottey...

      the slovenian accent nuh really bother mi... whereas she is immersed in that language and is not around too many jamaicans, it is to be expected...

      what is unsettling is when the interviewer ask her if she can do anything else other than (running) t&f, she could not offer any ventures to which she is involved...

      i think with her experience, she could be involved with coaching... she should have a lot to offer and her credibility would be unquestioned...

      i am also somewhat saddened to see her competing and not looking like the merlene ottey that i'm accustomed to seeing...

      i watched her after a race and although the body looks good, her walk wasn't strident and she just looked 'old'... i think she should stop competing and do something else...

          i expected her to say "er..ah ... how do you zay in english"

          what i am curious about is whether she is financially comfortable...if she is, then even more power to her!

                    Isn't she into some thing with fashion and designing.

                      I don't think she a go stop. Look for her running in the oldster race at gibson in a few years from this.

                      She have no kids and may have made running her life.

                        I am not sure that Merlene would make a good coach. Clearly she has the knowledge but she has never been a great communicator.
