    I love how she acknowledged that Merlene was her biggest rival. Merlene is a great sprinter probably the best in history BUT to be a champion, you have to know how to manage the rounds at the Olympics and World Championships and put nerves aside. Merlene easily beat her rivals pre-Worlds/Olympics and post-World/Olympics but always falls short on the big stages.

    • @bbatjargal1549

      @Anthony Mcken Because the other sprinters were indeed juiced up like Flo Jo, or Devers... and so on. Probably, Gwen and Marlene were clean sprinters and that is why they lost to cheaters in 88, 92, 96, and 2000 (jones).

      @Anthony Mcken I understand you. Not everybody likes Gwen Torrence... But retrospectively, Gwen Torrence, Marlene Ottey and Irina Privalova have had great and clean careers. Yes, Gwen was harsh in her words, but she was very open and honest... she said what she thought without hiding or having second thoughts. For that we should be grateful for Gwen Torrence!

    No doubt Gwen Torrence is one of the best sprinters in history. It is very unfortunate that her rivals in 88, 92 and 96 Olympics were a head of her because they cheated! Gwen is my all time favorite female sprinter together with Merlene Ottey of Jamaica!

    • @mikehowza
      @mikehowza 3 роки тому +3

      Gwen was never going to win in 88. In a field with FloJo and Evelyn she was at best 3rd or 4th fastest. In 92 and 96 with the legends retired she choked both times to a hurdler (Gail Devers). In the spirit of the poor loser we knew Gwen to be everybody she lost to was on drugs. Hardly someone that can be considered great with those pedestrian times.

    I think Gwen won the 100 in the world championship and got DQ in the 200 for stepping out of her lane. Gail 2 olympics straight won the 100. At the 96 trials Gail was hurt but she smoked Gwen again in the finals.

    She may've won the 200 in Barcelona but my first memory of Torrence at those Olympics was her slanderous accusations against two of the medallists in the 100 and the IAAF threatening to suspend her if she didn't retract her comments. After that I couldn't stand her at all.
