She’s the Olympic silver medalist she already competitive
We'll yea ofcourse she's competitive, but running more 400s will likely bring her into closer contention with the top two.
As you can see in other comments, mention Shericka Jackson in any type of sentence with another athlete, let alone being competitive with anyone else, and its "disrespectful".
I don't think Alfred is considering the 400 in a "competitive" kind of way.
But more as a strengthening protocol for her 200 and 100 meter races.
Yea thats what this video is about. How running some 400s will help her 200s
@@sutikareoluwagbenga1272 duh we know that
Dude you need to stop this nonsense…Gabby Thomas isn’t in the same league as Shericka Jackson, Gabby got lucky so she’s the Champ but she doesn’t have the pedigree of Jackson! As for Alfred, I’ll believe it when I see it!
Fully agree
Who said Gabby is in the same league as Shericka?
@@TheFinalLeg your title/headline…suggest, imply or otherwise it doesn’t matter! Gabby may have a problem with Alfred, Shericka won’t’! Using both in the headline, if that’s not what you intended, is misleading!
@@abubenadem I think you may be going to a different level than I am. I invited people to the conversation by saying they MAY have a problem in the 200m this year. I then explained my reasoning in the entire 13 minute long video using various different points and reasons. I also was explicit about who is number 1 and number 2. Title is simply to invite you to the conversation, and then we can discuss the full video. I didn't think it would bring about an intense response. But just looking for healthy conversation so appreciate your insight bro!
@ it is healthy conversation, I just don’t agree with you! Shericka when healthy cannot be and will not be beaten by a healthy Gabby or Alfred! Of course both can improve but so too can Jackson! People look at things one sidedly to make their case/point forgetting that in sports the operative phrase is: All things being equal! Good or superior athletes can beat the competition without any help(mistakes, failures, misfortune, injury etc), others may have a “one-off” moment and still there are those who win with because of mediocre competition! Most fans don’t see these nuances, they go immediately to win/loss!
If Shericka is healthy she won't come close to her. Shericka seems to be healthy now because she has ran in a 60m in January.
But Shericka being healthy might not be the same Shericka who ran 21.4s the past couple of years. There's a possibility she may only run as fast 21.6 or 21.7 since it will be her first full year from injuries.
I think the situation is a lot more complicated than what people expect it to be.
Let's see how frequently Shericka runs and what she puts out there first before anything.
Well yea, but you never know the progress any athlete can make when they start to make adjustments in their training and racing. Elaine took things to another level in 2021, Shericka took things to another level in 2022. Not saying that Julien will be running 21.5 or 21.4 this year, or even next year, but she could make some noticeable improvements in the 100/200 after doing some early season 400m races.
Never Forget Julien Alfred she ran a 20.89 relay split in the 4x200 relay.
I hope Alfred will set a new world record, so I don’t have to see Flo Jo’s ped record anymore.
do u think she can break it running clean?
I love Alfred yo. ❤✨🙏😊
I think the 400m races will help. Both her and Dina really struggled towards the end of the 300m at Boston, so it's clearly an area that can be improved. I think without the extra speed endurance she could probably get fairly close to Gabby Thomas, with it she should be able to be more competitive with Gabby. Shercika is another matter, getting down to 21.4's may be beyond her unless she can make significant speed endurance improvments. That said Elaine Thompson-Herah has managed 21.53 and her 400m is not great. Elaine used to run early season 400m go out fast and come home last in not great times, then again, I'm not sure Julien has Elaine's top end, though that may also come.
I'm looking forward to seeing what McKenzie can do this year. McKenzie also hasn't run many 400m or 4x400m and probably has as much potential as Julien.
Yea the last 50 of that 300m was definitely tough for both Julien and Dina, but it will almost certainly help with her 200m and 100m races this year. Agree that Shericka is on a different level and hope I was clear in differentiating that here. But it will be interesting to see how Julien progresses since this is only the beginning of her career.
Yea Elaine's 400m best is only 55 seconds, so clearly Julien is capable of doing better than that (having already split 51s on the 4x4) meaning a 21.6 or 21.5 in the future is not out of the question, though every athlete is different.
Probably agree that McKenzie likely has as much potential as Julien when talking about the 200m for sure.
Just because you hope doesn't mean she beats Gabby.
Wait, I dont hope anyone beats anyone. The only thing I really HOPE for is that all women are healthy and competitive when they line up. Hope that makes sense and appreciate you!
If you are a student, Of Track and field history you know that There have only been a few men and women who were dominant at 100 and 200. When I mean dominant , i'm talking about world record dominant Or who we're close to it. You have Carl Lewis Of course.
Florence Griffin Joyner in 1988 The most dominant one year Of any female athlete in history.in track and Felid And of course Usain Bolt 2009 in Berlin set the standard that will perhaps never be Surpass if shericka Stay's healthy. And by her running at 60 m this year. And if she improves her start, she Will be A force to reckon with in the one hundred Now, at 200 like I said, if she's in tip top shape. If.
You cannot run in the low21.5s at 200ms Which we know there's only 3 women in 200m History.
Who has ran that fast or faster fojo Elaine thompson and shericka jackson I think that Julian alfred Is definitely the future star of women's sprints. And she will only get better
@@louisdawkins664 FloJo was never dominant, in any year! All she did was win at the US Trials and the Olympics in the same year! Then basically nothing as better testing was coming!
@abubenadem She was very dominant in 1988. Name me another female who broke the world record in the 100 and 200 m in the same year. That's what I'm talking If that's not being dominant for that year, then you must be from another planet.
Correct that were athletes who were dominant throughout history. FLojos' single 1988 season was extremely dominant, and I would have to look back through history to see more comparisons, but I know that Marjorie Jackson in 1952 also had an insanely dominant 100/200 year having broken both world record 2 times that year and won both Olympic gold medals in Helsinki
But I agree that Julien will only continue to get better if she continues on this path. Thanks for watching!
21.6 look possible, ottey ran 35 in 300 so , i do no how to gage it
Agree. I think she can hit a one off 21.69 in the next year or 2. Ottey was very much a different beast though. She ran 35 when she was in college at Nebraska I think in 1981.
@@brianbethune616 guage*
Shericka just came back from injury she with just be testing the water
We are forgetting about SML... Syd has nothing else to prove in the 400hl and have shown she is a true threat in the 200/400.
Is she planning to run the 200m this year at world's?
I dont think Sydney intends to run the 200m at Worlds. Maybe the 400m though.
Gwen Torrence ran the second fastest 4x400m relay first leg of all-time with a 49.03 split.
That was the best first leg I have ever watched 1993 outdoor worlds
that is by far one of, if not the best 4x4 relay splits ever. Specifically because its on the 1st leg. Running sub-50.5 on the 1st leg is impressive, but running 49.0??? Yea nah that was wild!
I saw her in that 300 she looks good for 200 that's the first thing I taught about when I saw that 300.… there setting her up for the 200
exactly
Completely agree. Thats what made me make this video. The goal is clearly to improve that 200m.
She can be competitive with a healthy Gabby yes but not a healthy shericka lol a healthy shericka running 21.4 while a healthy gabby at 21.7. Gabby not running 21.6 outside of Oregon 😂😂
Behave yourself
Shericka is 30 , and is be having injury problem,Gabby is 28 and healthy and Alfred is the youngest and is 23 I in jury free u got to be killing ,look at Gabby split at 4x4 in Paris and I like Sherika but Elaine and the turbo twin is my fav for Jamaican
@ Sherika is good now so don’t worry about her she will run 21.4 again this year , she learnt from her mistake last season and agains, stop making Oregon track trick you, GABBY will not break 21.6 unless she start running 10.8 , Alfred have a strong chance of beating her this year because she was already so close to her last season… gabby has not yet broken 21.8 outside of Oregon track, just let that sink in, her 4 fastest legal times ever are all on that track
@@yannickedwards3864 I guess it's a wait and see game...im not sure if shericka will ever see the 21.4's again in her career. And Julian has yet to run 1 sub 22 wind legal outdoor 200m race. I mean she has not run 1. And as far is the Oregon/US track facilities that Gabby has run fast times on. Those are the same US outdoor tracks that Julien has ran coutless races on, especially during her collegiate career. Lets wait and see she will have to retain her 100 meter dominance from last year, which is not a guarantee.
@@raymondtyler3209 Julien ran sub 22 legally twice last year. In the London DL and in the Olympic semi final
You must be high! Gabby maybe, but Julien ain’t touching Shericka.
Don't speak too fast. We don't know how healthy Shericka is. Unfortunately some athletes don't get back to their full potential after injury...see Yohan Blake. I pray that it isn't the case with Shericka.
@@kidscanreadtv6821 Exactly. We don’t know. So, let’s all chill on the doomsayer speculation and let things play out.
Always remember that time is a necessary factor in any sport, you ride high only for a period of time then the baton gets passed ....
Just lower your times Gabby in the 200 meter sprint try Pyramids & hit the weight room.
My issue with american-owned track channels is that they just NEVER wanna let American athletes take an L. Total running productions EXACTLY the same. Bro like are you FR gonna act like Shericka and Gabby's in the same league?
"Gabby Thomas and Shericka Jackson, those two, in my opinion, have kinda separated themselves, as long as they are both healthy, from the rest of the field..."
Bro like RUFR? Gabby ran 21.6 like ONCE or twice max (At her best) while Shericka has run UNDER 21.6 multiple times with a PB of 21.41. Like idk how you finna act like these to athletes are in the same league when their bests differ by a whole entire fifth of a second. CRAZY. Meanwhile you're acting like Elaine Thompson-Herah with a PB of 21.53 isn't lacing up to run this season and wanna overhype h i l l b i l l y Gabby who couldn't run faster than what Allyson felix did in 2012 in a 200m olympic final. slower after MORE THAN 10 years? crazy. You KNOW Gabby would NOT have won if Shericka (and even Elaine) was in that final in Paris. Take SEVERAL seats.
Gabby FR isn't the girl you make her out to be. STOP being biased. She's also old. She's not getting significantly faster. Only Jamaicans get faster after 30🤧
Gabby won the Olympic gold medal. We don't know if Shericka will ever be back to where she was in 2021-23. Even more so for Elaine. Gabby's legit, 21.6 is no joke. Shericka has run faster than that a few times, but not more recently than 2023. Elaine only ran faster than Gabby's PB one time. It just happened to be at the Olympics. If Shericka can't get back into 2022-2023 shape, then 21.4 is about as relevant as 21.3. I'm looking forward to seeing what Julien can do.
@ lmaooooo Gabby ran 21.6 before shericka did 21.4. Guess Shericka is even more legit. Which proves my point even more. Also, congratulations on looking forward to seeing what Julien can do. I'm not really sure what your point is but ohk
@@jhadebredenkamp97 over her career, Shericka Jackson has been better than Gabby Thomas. Right now in 2025, we'll see if that's the case. She's a couple of years older than Gabby and didn't look good last year even before she got injured. At any rate, it's not disrespectful to mention the current Olympic champion when mentioning the athletes to beat in any category.
Shericka may never win an Olympics sprint Gold medal, how relevant is fast times if you are not an Olympic Champ
@@jhadebredenkamp97 Gabby Thomas has an Olympic Bronze and Gold 200 medal. How many Olympic 200 meter medals do Shericka have???? 0!!! Not 1 gold, silver or bronze medal. and she is pushing 30 years of age!! Not sure if we will ever see a 21.4 Shericka Jackson again. However 21.6 is probably still in her grasp. and no one will defeat a 21.6 Shericka....people are making too big off a 300 meter race that athletes have never ever taken seriously. Julien has yet to post a sub 22 wind legal outdoor 200 meter time in her career......
Ok assuming everyone is healthy. SHERICKA is chasing WR. Everybody else is chasing silver. Abby is technically has more range than Gabby. Faster 60,100, and 400legs(48.6ish) Gabby is Gabby (needs that sub 11 and sub 49). Shanti Jackson is coming. Jamessia Ford is coming
Good call. Yes if everyone is healthy, then is Shericka with everyone else behind. Gabby seems to be the most consistent in the 200m behind Shericka, then Abby, agree she probably has more range, but would love to see her healthy and on the podium at a global championships first before I can truly put her in that conversation.
Really looking forward to seeing what Jamessia Ford will do this year!
Shanti is SO INTRIGUING because with all of her HS 100m success (10.89) she chose “400m U”! If healthy 21s probably and 49s maybe this year. Hopefully her and Ford and maybe
Cont
Hopefully Jackson and Ford will have many head to heads this season in the 200m and maybe 400 or4 x 400!
I think Gabby does have a shot at a healthy SHERIKA. But only if in the same season she runs sub 10.9 and sub 49. I don’t see how you beat SHERIKA in the 200m unless you are sub 10.7 100m or sub 49 400m
Gabby needs to be more Consistant & Lower her times under 21.40 or better.
Gabby is good, she got her gold!
She is definitely good Will be interesting to see when Shericka returns what the landscape will look like as it will be competitive!
Please stop comparing Gabby and Jackson their miles apart.
Wait, curious when did I said Gabby and Shericka are equal? I thought I clearly said everyone would agree Shericka is the clear number 1?
Brittany Brown is on a mission. She might be the main problem for 200m runners this year.
In December I said she would beat Gabby Thomas and Raestake said I was Wilding lol. But it isn't that far fetched.
She can’t even run sub 22 lol wdym🥴🤡
@@ElaineVermeulen-s7x How did she survive the US Olympic trials without sub-22 seconds? Get your facts straight.
Great call out on Brittany Brown. She doesn't have a "fast" PB, but she is always in the mix and never afraid of a competitive race for sure!
Don’t forget ab brittany brown cs she’s also a 200 threat
Threat to who Abby Stiener what is her PB in 200m
Yea Brittany is a gamer, always in the mix and never afraid to back down in a competitive race
She's good but she's great in a the 100 and 200
As she don't have a relay team could she join a caribbean country to run❤
Don't worry, that is coming.
Haha that would be amazing if Julien got the chance to run a relay as a pro one day. Unfortunately no Saint Lucian relay team for now.
Don't think so
Interesting, curious why you think not?
Bruh…. Put down the crack pipe…and get some Black Man Bass in your voice while you’re at it.
What’s wrong with his voice ? Because he is well spoken ?
@ Please! English comprehension is not your strong suit. I said nothing of his enunciation and diction. I’m referring to his white-boy, bass-bereft voice. You must be white yourself… with your “Black people hate well-spoken Black people” bullshit.
it's not the delivery ..... it's the message ..... Mike Tyson didn't have the most manly voice either, but you wouldn't mention that to him would you?
Absolutely nothing wrong with his voice, stop being insecure.
lol no she won’t be a problem for shericka… lmao even
You don't know what shape Shericka is in post injury. We all have to wait and see.
Maybe, after the poor 2024 season Jackson had. overweight, injuries, etc. Plus, Thomas smoked Alfred in the 200 at the Olympics.
Never underestimate the potential someone like Julien or anyone else has. Yes, Shericka in on another level when healthy and in top form, but Julien could really have a big breakthrough in the event. But well see
@@madman1rugShe beat Alfred yes...but smoke her ...hmmm doubt that. Alfred ran three rounds of the hundred and ran three full rounds of the 200 in less than 48 hours. Congrats to Gabby who deserved the win but Julian proved herself with that silver. She wasn't smoked.
@@TheFinalLeg a breakthrough... i guess... i suppose we will finally see a first wind legal sub-22 wind legal outdoor 200 meter time for Julien..lol
I know it's going to be a tough game. Gabby n Jackson are equally fast like Julien. But with Julien's high performance in 300 I tip she can win.
Julien is not equally fast as a healthy Shericka in any event. Also she is not faster than Gabby in the 200m.
I think if everyone is healthy, its Shericka, then Gabby, then Julien. But Julien will get closer to the 21.7s and 21.6s if she continues to build her speed endurance for sure.
