      That race sticker shocked me when that little cute fresh faced mouth full of braces popped out like she was shot out of a cannon and no one saw, including me saw that one coming. Such a little cutie too. We love us some Shelley.

      Yes! She is the GOAT at 100m because no one can get a fastest start. No one ever has. No one ever will. Its her size. But Elaine Thompson and Shericka Jackson reach higher speeds once they get going with those longer legs so should be considered GOATS of overall sprinting which is a 100m, 200m and 400m discipline. I think all 3 of them are the GOATS of sprinting as FloJo was drugged up.

Merlene did not win an Olympic Gold medal, however, her career transcended much more than that medal would mean to her resume. Normally I would be the first to declare an Olympic Gold medal as the standard for any Athletics career and sure it would have been nice to have it, but, Ms Ottey's legacy is well secured.

The fact that she's still out here killing at 35, (after having a son no less) is just such a terrific testament to her training and overall talent. People have often described her style as "catch me if you can" which is so apt...She really does always get off to AMAZING starts, and it really is up to the rest of the field to see if they can catch her. I'll be super bummed when she hangs up with spikes for good, because she has been such an amazing person in the sport for so long.
