Merlene Ottey W50 11.67

wind reading for 11.67(rt 0.155) was +0.9 and for 11.71(rt 0.157) +0.4

Just hillarious…There was a funny looking Canadian chick that ran the 100 at the under 23 champs here in fla. She got beat to death. Her and her mom had terrible weaves!

We should convince Merlene to switch her citizenship to Canadian. At least she is a solid lock for the 4x100m team!

Her mom too? Awful. The potential for weaves is pretty high: http://www.athletics.uoguelph.ca/Varsity_Sport/_Teams/Track_Field/Roster/2963

On the plus side for Canada, Sam ran a 10.06 to win.

Yea it was worse than that and she had a ton of makeup on. she looked like a tranny.

Don’t tell me you are hooking up with a tranny, how do you know what a tranny look like?:rolleyes:

Fool i live in miami remember. If you wanna survive you better be able to spot one. I guess you cant spot one. Damn I hope you didnt fall for the trick already :frowning:

The speed at which you two can go off topic is faster than you can run a 100m. :slight_smile:

Look who’s talking…??

Some Trannies can be gorgeous:p

…Getting back on topic… Does anyone have a video of Ottey’s race?

No, but here is a recent 11.95 +0.9m/s. She is very lean, as you can see by the camera following her around after the race.

The former W50 world record was 12.50 sec. set by American Phil Raschker in 1997.

I just uploaded the womens under 23 100 race. Thread and race cna be found here. I am currently uploading a better quality vid of the mens race.

OMG, she looks good. Wow!

She will run today at Slovenian nationals and she is also at the start list for 200m tomorow,

Even at nearly 50 years old, I bet she would be an amazing root! :cool:

Are there going to be any video of her races?

She run 11.81s (-0.1m/s, rt 0.145) in heats and 11.77s (+0.3m/s, rt 0.179) in finals for second place.

I must say that she’s very lean and looks some 15 years younger;)

24.33s (+0.9m/s, rt 0.237);
24.38s (+1.1m/s, rt 0.165) in finals for fifth place!

For 50 year old, I think that’s pretty good.
