In 1982 in her LtS plan she had much more competitions at 200m incl some 400m.
For sure she didn’t have the occasion to show her best at 200m in 1987, she only competed twice : National Champs on the 3rd day of competition 22.90 w-1.69, and Berlin 22.55 w-1.0. Berlin’s time doesn’t reflect her true level, because she was surely tired as it came in her 5th competition in 12 days (and only 2 days after 11.09 w-1.5 and 11.03 w-1.2 win in Zürich), coming from the Nationals in Canada.
Charlie what do you think she was able to do with proper recovery?

there’s no doubt that 87’s 200s were limited and the conditions she ran them in were terrible, especially the Nationals, with pissing rain as well as the headwind. She also began to run into the same situation as Ben. She could earn much more staying in the 100m. I would guess she could have run 22.10 or perhaps a bit lower with a few more runs.
