Sha'Carri on her way to Tokyo

Featured Replies

 

 

WOW! She's fast.

 

Also, I have just read another article that sort of answers my questions about her wild selection in her appearance. She is gay. And relies on her girlfriend for her choice in various hair color.

Attractive woman....slightly masculine in my opinion...but still attractive.

I wish she hadn't messed up her skin with all those tattoos though.

 

Biles' small pony tail does not compare to Richardson's long mop.  There is no way that Biles could complete with that on her head -- it would simply get in the way and probably be dangerous.  Biles would not be able to compete with Richardson's finger mails.

 

Knowing what you know about aerodynamics @Delano, do you think that Richardson's hair has zero impact on time?  Now Richardson may be so much better than everyone else that any negative impact will not make a difference, but If I were racing I would pull may hair back -- split seconds count in sprints.

 

As a former gymnast, it is amazing to see someone doing a triple twisting double back in the layout position.  The wrestling mats we used to tumble on have been replaced by the equivalent of a trampoline. Still, Biles is the best female gymnast ever.

@Troy I am not certain but the adrenaline boost my cancel out the wind drag. 

 

Biles created her own move. She's getting some serious air.

If you saying wearing the wig creates an energy boost for her that compensates for the drag, I can't argue with that.  Plus the flamboyancy adds to her marketability which will generate far more wealth than can be earned running...

😬Simon????


Simone Biles is nice....

She's got a pretty face.

But like Sha'Carri...she's a little too masculine with all of those muscles popping out.
That meat is a little too tough for me to chew..lol.

I don't want a woman with a harder body than mine.

Now I'm looking at something VERY nice right now.

Okay, I guess my imagination is going astray--but I keep thinking this is pun... Why am I laughing...

 

 

Yes, who doesn't love to watch Simone! 

And, I have a few other favorites in this sport.

 

Also, Allyson Felix made the Olympic team! That is amazing.

She is so awesome.

Allyson Felix is heading to the Tokyo Olympics this year, having qualified for two events in the trials and nearly making a third. As part of the 400m singles and the 4x400m relay, she aims to add more medals to her already illustrious career and is set to become the most decorated athlete in US history.

It was unintentional although you are correct.

 

 BREAKING NEWS

@Chevdove

Looks like your girl Shari'carri won't be competing in the Tokyo Olympics!
Apparently she tested positive for marijuana use and they aren't allowing her to compete.

Update! Shari'Carri Richardson Won't Be Allowed To Compete At the Olympics. | REAL 92.3 (iheart.com)


I'm not sure what marijuana use has to do with your ability to run or not.  It's not as if it's a performance enhancer.
If anything I would think it would SLOW you down..lol.


She broke the rules but if should receive any punishment it should be a FINE....not a suspension and prevention from participation. 

I also heard that her mother recently died so perhaps that was part of her way in dealing with the grief.

Marijuana isn't a performance enhancing drug so this punishment was far too excessive for this young lady.

She and others should definitely PROTEST this decision.

LOL! 

@Pioneer1 I read awhile back that Simone was bothered by that when she was young, but WOW! She sure turned out to be awesome!

Also, I think that when she is dressed in everyday attire, she looks very lady-like, imo. 

As for Sha'Carri, I think that she looks muscular when she has worked out, and one of those kind of athletes, even men, that when not working out, their muscles seems to soften. 

 

I have never heard of the tennis player you posted! 

But because of your comment, I would love to share another amazing athlete that you might appreciate. Her name is Nia Dennis and seems to be the kind of Black female athlete who has a physical appearance like the tennis player you shared.

 

Nia Dennis, at one time, was hoping to make it to the Olympics, but did not get that far. However, she is awesome and received a lot of attention for her talent! 

I will post more about her in a new thread.

Well it's about the TOTAL package.

It's one thing to have big well toned muscles as a female athlete.  That's understandable.  But if you have a big butt, wide hips, or a nice pretty face then those feminine features will OFF-SET that muscular masculinity.

But Sha'Carri has a rather masculine looking face in my opinion, which doesn't offset her muscular physique.

 

Simone on the other hands has a nice pretty face that OFF-SET her muscular body.

Like Serena Williams, who also has a pretty face and big butt that OFF-SET her huge muscular arms and shoulders.

Nia Dennis doesn't look very muscular to me.
She looks like the typical feminine female athlete, though she does have an attractive face.

 

Troy

She's attractive.
Pretty face and smile with a nice attitude.

Her body is pretty much average and moderately attractive because of her shape, but she is a little too muscular for my enjoyment..lol


That's what I'd be concerned with...
I'm not gonna get with any woman so strong and skilled that she could put moves on me that I can't easily get out of.

I'm not into the S&M.

She's probably got some special muscles down there that would grab "it" and not let it go until SHE'S ready to let go....lol

Okay now! @Pioneer1 You are ridiculous.

I did not get to watch much of the Olympics, but I did here in the news that one of my favorites, Allyson Felix faired very well!

Also, another of my all time favorites, the Jamaican track star, Shelly Anne Fraiser-Pryce did well! Her teammate took the gold Herah and is now known as the fastest women on the track field! And she put the propaganda of Sha'carri to rest.

 

A few days later all of the track stars competed in the Prefontaine classic and Sha'carri came in dead last. 

 

 

 

That competition on the track seemed to set off a bit of a back-n-forth between some AfroAmericans and Jamaicans on social media.
It was crazy.

Oh My Gosh! Really!? @Pioneer1

That is terrible. My Brother-in-law is Jamaican! Therefore, some of my nephews are Jamaican! And pretty boys too!

Well, I won't listen to that crap. Those Jamaican track girls are some of my all time favorites!

 

Chev

I agree.
I'm a PanAfricanist and believe both groups should come together for the betterment of the Black race. 
However you have a lot of people in the ADOS and FBA movements who don't like Africans or Caribbeans and a few even go around the internet stirring up trouble between the two.
