MJBOLT:I was going to say the same of Blessing.. Especially Ta Lou of the CIV, that lady is hot this season men.. And of course not forgetting the Jamaican Ellaine Thompson.. Blessing is a slow starter, so the 100m will always be a tough competition especially with fast paced athletes off the dash. The 200m and long jump remains her forte. Wish her all the best though. 4 Likes |

shaunae miller uibo will be a hard but to crack that girl is undefeated in the 200m this year Realhommie: |

MJBOLT:Yea, you're right.. I love that babe, she's so damn pretty. Doesn't look one bit an athlete, fine lady. Watched her 3-4 seasons ago, before she added "Uibo" to her name, she would finish a distant 5th or 6th, lol.. Allyson Felix held sway then. Now look at her, she might just smash the 200m WR someday. That said, I think Okagbare should be in the top 3 if she brings her A game.. She's been so inconsistent lately, don't know if it has anything to do with her marriage.. There has to be a reason, yea? 2 Likes |

Would really want Blessing and Dayo to come tops in their respective 100m and hurdles but with likes of Talou, Kendra, McNeal competing with them it might be impossible. |

Probably all tall athletes are slow starters; check Bolt Realhommie: |

I think Blessing Okagbare no longer has it in her...maybe it's only me...but i think she has not bn at her best since she got married...she always makes it to d final but falters when it matters most...i can't recollect d last time she won any race... and with d likes of Ta Lou (this one, as short as she is; she's a Flash), Ahoure, and Schipper in contention, i am very afraid for Blessing...It is just sad we are not grooming anybody to takeover from her. Oluwatobiloba Amusan...she's the next good thing to come out of Nigerian Sports...the current Commonwealth Champion and African hurdle queen...she's bn progressing from the Africa Athletics Youth Championship...winning her way to the top...though she will find it tough at d IAAF Diamond League meeting considering d superpowers she will be contending with, but i see her going places...she's still young and focused. Best of luck to both of them. |

MJBOLT: Dina Asher Smith for 100m, Miller Uibo for 200m, Kendra Harrison for 100mH. |
| Re: Okagbare, Amusan Chase Cash As IAAF Diamond League End by MJBOLT: 12:25pm On Aug 30, 2018 |
I've got Ta Lou for 100m,Miller Uibo for 200m,I'm stuck between Kendra Harrison and Brianna Rollins McNeal for the 100mH.Dina Asher Smith could steal the show but I'm hoping Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce makes a superb comeback dgbaba: 1 Like |
