He makes an excellent point: athletes like Talou aren't compensated well for the spectacular times they are running. Some of these athletes come from countries that don't bother funding athletics.
Anyone who could take Shelly from being 100% stuck as just a fast starter who either almost got caught or got caught and passed left and right, to making her have the start and the top speed on the level of most others, is TALENTED! Shelly was the Christian Coleman of the 100M and basically more of a 60M type of talent (I’m referring to her style, not her abilities), and here she is with 10.6 left and right in 2022! What coach is good enough to topped Francis in ability?
Incredible interview. I love how articulate and well versed he is in his job and just the sport overall. loved the discussion on the accolades/achievement disparity and i have to whole heartedly agree. Elaine and Shelly maybe well loved and respected but certainly aren't as talked about or celebrated as they deserve to be. They've completely revolutionized woman sprinting imo. Especially Shelly, her achievements and impact are quite simply unparalleled. Both on and off the track in women's sprinting. Hopefully Paris24 brings so much joy and glory for these women and as a result, coach walcott as well!!
I absolutely agree with him about the difference in treatment. Yes Shelly and Elaine have indeed achieved so much and haven't been given the same respect or celebration from my perspective
God rest your hand on Elaine bless her indeed grant her favour let her be injury free heal her body bless her again for another time cover team Jamaica on a hold in Jesus name
God rest your hand on Shelly-Ann bless her indeed grant her favour let her be injury free heal her body bless her again for another time cover team Jamaica on a hold in Jesus name.
Thank you, Citius, for the excellent interview!!! Coach Walcott expressed himself so well & I thoroughly enjoyed this interview with a smile on my face 😊
Also, more outlets need to visit the Caribbean. The prestigious Bowerman award was swept 🧹 by Caribbean athletes (🇯🇲 🇱🇨). Please put some respect on the West Indies.
I totally agree with you coach Shelly deserve much more also Elaine. Coming from Jamaica. They deserve a lot more . Shelly is the greatest and i adore her i am praying for her to get the Gold for Paris in the name of Jesus ❤
The man who took SAFP to levels Francis couldn't sub 22 and sub 10.70 love how he really didn't answer some questions Franno would never dodge training question 😂
Your comment is soooo' ungrateful and malicious, you are harping about times, apparently you were unhappy about those Olympics & World Championships medals SFP won for herself and jamaica under franno's instructions.
@TAM.w39, why is the truth hurting you so much? Lol. It IS a fact that Walcott coached Shelly to run times that Francis couldn't when she was at MVP. Since moving to Walcott she broke 10.7 and 22.0 for the first time. The OP spoke no lie. The truth is an offence but not a sin.
@@strongb502 so true and if Franno have push the envelope from then when Shelly was much younger, who to tell the WR would might have being broken a long time.
I love this interview and highly respect Coach Walcott! It’s interesting what he mentioned about the American vs Jamaican recognition, and I have two comments on that: 1. As a black American constantly complaining about racism, etc., the “american” thing is largely an issue of USA white supremacy; the only reason they celebrate the black athletes is because they represent USA, which in their minds is white supremacy, and 2. Contrary to what many Jamaicans may understand, Shelly and Elaine are HIGHLY REGARDED! They may not be as wealthy as they should be, but during the Bolt/Shelly dominance, trust me when I say we Americans HIGHLY respected Shelly…trust and believe! I think we just kinda got over Shelly for a moment, just as we got over Allyson Felix for a moment as well, when they began to lose races mid-career. Shelly was looking like her career was over in the early 2010’s…American folks quickly forget about folks and move on to the next shiny thing. Very short memory in USA except for we huge fans.
Agree with most of what you said however, there has never been a time when Shelly seems like her career was over in the 2010......2012 Olympic gold. 2013 she won triple of (100, 200 and 4x100 relay, and her best medal haul in a championship ) 2015 gold, 2016 had a broken toe but achieved a bronze medal at Olympic, 2017 had a baby, 2019 gold after having a baby. She is unmatchable.
@@vevenamcleish6533 thanks for replying. Trust me, there were many times in Shelly’s career where it appeared she was done…she was losing races left and right during many years. However, something about Shelly, just like Elaine in Olympics, is she ALWAYS pulls herself together during championship years! I know what I say to be true because I was watching like every single track meet back then, and I remember the trends. The 2021 Shelly and current is a completely different beast than the prior champion she was then!
Anderson I must commend you on this interview. This was really great. Your follow up questions were on point. I wished however, you would have gone deeper into the Elaine and Shelly not practicing together. Since that is a source of interest from lots of people. In saying that the questions on recognition and rewards were fire. You were able to get inside Reynaldo head and give us an insight on how he trains persons and his philosophy on training was remarkable. Great job to you bruh and Coach Reynaldo. Looking forward to great things from both of you guys. Big up.
I agree with Walcott and it’s so sad. Sha’Carri won ONE championship and got so much attention (which she deserves), yet Elaine and Shelly have been winning for YEARS yet they don’t get as much recognition and it sucks. Shelly was going sub 10.7 weekly at one point in 2022 and it was barely highlighted. Imagine if a male athlete went 9.6 SEVEN times in a year. We’d never shut up about it. Wish we’d show everyone the same recognition regardless of nationality or gender.
@@jake100mi5 Shelly is also apart of Nike, and she is also very marketable. It’s clear that it’s Sha’Carri being American is why she gets all these benefits
Yes this was a great interview coming directly from in the house. I couldn't agree more with this coach more. Shellie-Ann and Elaine has achieved so much consistently and are not given their well deserved flowers and revenue as they should. Even Usain Bolt 🔩 who has done so much to market this amazing sport to the 4 corners of the world. And some of these American athletes has not even come close to their achievements. Because of the hidden agenda in the midst of this society, our jamaicans are not compensated for the hard work and effort they've placed on this important sport. Your to be paid according to 1s labor and talent that you that God has blessed you to achieve the best potential in this journey called life 🙏 FASTLANEELAINE & Rocket 🚀 mommy at this time. 1bless 1love to you all team Jamaica to the fullest keep on shining like the sun. As we continue to run setting speed above and beyond all the rest. B.O.A.T. S. BEST OF ALL TIMES STANDING . Who is talking about goat 🐐. 😅😅😅
Coach Walcott with that marketing question about shacarri, elaine, shelly getting recognition just rightfully debunk everything stephen francis said two weeks ago about Usain and Noah. The fact that they are American will get them recognized regardless. They do not have to achieve anything great, they are American, and that alone puts them at the forefront. Plus they have the might of the US influence and money machine behind them . Shacarri just signed a $20M deal for winning 1 championship. Shelly also sponsored by Nike with multiple championship wins has a deal worth around $8 to $10M. Nikes bias is because Shacarri is American.
True! Even when Shacari was losing she was poster girl over Elaine, Shelly and Shericka. They couldn't wait for her to win something. Personality has something to do with it but I wouod say there Nationality is definitely the reason.
Going by the comments on here it will be interesting to hear what the supporters of both ladies say after the Olympics. Looks like one fanbase will be absolutely pissed if their fav is beaten.
Tiene toda la razon Shelly ann Fraser ejecuto 7 veces en la temporada 10.60 😅 algo increíble gano el campeonato mundial por quinta vez en el 2022 gano la final de la liga diamante e hizo la mejor temporada jamas vista 😅 pero eso si sha carri solo corrio una vez en 10.60 y la alaban y dejan atras a shelly Eso si es tristezs
'Deserve' dont have shyt to do with endorsements! Its about: 1) Charisma 2) Having Agents who can aggressively sell you. If Shelly or Elaine aint getting what Usain got commercially, its on them. (For the record I never even felt Bolt's team marketed effectively to the American market. He had a Puma national commerical in America..and it was always linked with reggae music & Jamaica in the background. He should've crossed over to the point where he could do Geico, car, credit card commercial. Hes a guy with humor, he should've gotten Blake Griffin, Chris Paul type commercials. And if youre gonna wait for a company to offer, blame yaself. YOUR team should be going out & aggressively selling you to mainstream brands to overcome the bias that u can only sell "3rd world themed" items
@@TrevorMurray-yc3qz you are indeed correct. Right now we have 3 tiers of youngsters who will clash at some stage. The first tier is people like. Briana Williams. Kemba Nelson , Natalia Whyte, Kevona Davis , johniel Smith, Shashalee Forbes, Ashanti Moore, The second tier is baaaad !!!!! Tina Clayton, Tia Clayton, Serena Cole, Alana Reid, Brianna Lyston, Kerica Hill. And the 3rd tier is just as talented, tianne Lee terrelonge, Shonoya Douglas, Sabrina Dockery, Natrice East, Abigail Wolf, Mykala Gardner. WOW we are stacked and still there are more i overlooked
What jealousy are you talking about? I have heard Maurice Green speak on Bolt on how much of a seperate entity he was, and the imbalances. Bolt made over 80 million from the sport whilst the bearest anyone has gotten to that is about 6 million. However bolt was untouchable and he was known as the mist famous spirt man in his time we talkjng about olympic record, world chsmp record, fiamond league record. Breaking your own record. Now you have a one hit wonder that people want to celebrate over the others with multiple achievements
I'm delighted and disappointed in the same breath. Delighted b/c he said the quiet part out loud: team 🇯🇲 doesn't get the respect they deserve. A remote island of under 3M with *not very fancy airports or schools*, has rewritten sprinting history, but you don't always get that sense. Why?? Well, this is the disappointing part: press largely overlooking the sprinting factory that has become 🇯🇲. Like Walcott said, 100yrs of sprinting history, turned sheer dominance and outlets like Citrus Mag are only now going to JA?? C'mon. 2024 will be a consequential yr as SR has matured and trying to undo a 28 yr spell of no gold for 🇺🇸 in W100m, 🇯🇲 will compete but has great competition in other sprinters like Gabby Thomas (🇯🇲!! 😆). I'm looking fwd to it all! Go #teamWestIndies!
Some of this talk is giving ‘jealousy’. No one deserves anything. Shelley and Elaine has ran for over a decade and has never had Americans tuning into track in non Olympic years. ShaCarri draws interest to a sport that people only watch once every 4 years. And why would America promote a foreign athlete in our country? That doesn’t happen in any sport. I guarantee you Jamaica doesn’t promote foreign athletes over their own.
You only watch every four year..speak fir yoyr self. Myself and other watch indoors January to March and diamond league every week from April to September end of season. We also watch World championships every 2 years. I guess dome peooke like you who have no interest adds everyone in the same pigeon hole.
Mssha are u aware that track and field draw the biggest crowd all over the world and the lowest paid tennis draw the smallest croyd and the higest paid baskett Ball the secound smalles vunue and crowd yt lbron james is pIed far more tha usain Bolt who is known all over the word while james is mot yet he is pId more more ppl will vome to see Bold over james yet he is paid more why u aneswer that
SFP has plenty of personality. The sport (the athletes) is just not well covered and marketed by the gatekeepers. The reasons Sha’Carri transcends the sport is because she is American but also she basically said “F the norms” and she hasn’t cared what the gatekeepers think. This in addition to her suspension for marijuana and her public admonishing and then coming back and getting the world title. So it’s about the story that can be told and sold. She could quit track right now and make more money doing her own reality TV show. But either way, the greatness of ETH and SFP is not fully recognized because the system in place is setup to keep the money and power with the executives and sponsors. For every Bolt or Lyles or Sydney there are hundreds of pros that are treated as expendable. Even the ones that are champions. The sport gatekeepers don’t want the athletes to be bigger than the sport. They don’t want it to grow so much that they lose their power
Never knew Reynaldo was this sharp and well spoken. He’s always so quiet! Loved this interview.
He makes an excellent point: athletes like Talou aren't compensated well for the spectacular times they are running. Some of these athletes come from countries that don't bother funding athletics.

No creo 😂 Shelly si puede en el año 2021 la venció varias veces y eso que fue el año de Elaine Thompson
Lausanne Diamond League 2021 100m- Shelly won running 10.60 and Elaine (fully fit and injury free) 2nd with 10.64.
Women 10’6 isn’t equal to males 9’6. It’s equal to 9’7. Every other thing I agree with
