akintun: Blessing has got the height that can make a huge difference. She needs to work on her start and reduce showboating.

In sprinting, d height is actually a liability. I have never seen a tall sprinter with a good start.
A good example again of slow starter is Usain Bolt.I believe their height is the actual cause

errrm sorry dear but bolt has a very bad start also. he is just super fast, which is what helps him always. u ll notice that he comes alive from the half of the race wen he is in full gear.

but then okagbare can do beta. i see her doing well at the world championships. she just needs to take this athletics thing more serious. that's her main problem!!!

it was a great race.
Jeter got injured just before the line
Shelly Ann Fraser was flying from start to finish.
Okagbare Really tried at the end. Great finishing power.
She'll be better in the 200m if she works on it!

Bolt has a stride advantage coupled with the fact he is fast. And blessing here has that same advantage fast and tall. I don't see why she can't focus on sprinting and blast the competition away.

She hasnt got the start to win any medal at any major event... because in a final once you fall behind you start to tense due to the pressure she reminds me of Asafa Powell who is very good everywhere apart from a final of any major event then he bottles it. She need to learn on how to improve her drive, she has a very good cruise but her drive out of the block is very poor thou sprinters like Usain Bolt, Donovan Bailey or Carl Lewis who have great cruise and just a good Drive.... But sprinters like Maurice Greene, Ben Johnson or Tyson Gay would leave you at the starting block. Blessing needs a trainer to help her with her drive!!!!

She's not a threat to Blessing anyway. Based on current form, Blessing is 3rd in the world, behind Jeter and Fraser P.

Did you see the time? 11:03 not fast enough she would need around 10:70-85
Re: Okagbare Finishes Second At Shanghai Diamond-League 100M by Nobody: 10:31am On May 23, 2013
11.00 is very good time for this stage of the season.
Camielita Jeter has only ran 10.95 and Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce 10.93

She should be aiming to peak in July during the world championships where she should be able to get her time down to around 10.85 which hopefully may be good enough for a medal.

Providing she does not choke again, like she did in the olympic 100m final
