  1. That’s a real winner right there love her💯👑🌹

    1. @Sting ur right, she did I can’t take that away from Ms Jackson she put her foot on the gas.

  2. Yes I love my Elaine and I wished you all the best in Christ Jesus win win in Christ Jesus ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️amen 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

  3. Why they always have athletes Waitin so long??? It’s the same thing with bolt back in 2017 at world championships 100m finals 🤦🏾‍♂️

  4. She is right! the athletes deserve better. All the false starts and equipment malfunction in track and field isn’t okay.

    1. Ye my 1st time watching n that did not look like they had first class equipment for such a sprint factory!!

  5. Faulty equipment at the start of the 100 meter final affected everyone, the most prepared athlete won, no excuse for the 200 meter race, same result, you’re one of the greatest sprinters let’s go to the world championships and show us what sprinting is all about, good luck CHAMP

  6. We love you same way girl..no love lost..still our champ forever..🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🍾

  7. I agree with Elaine. Those professional female athletes, with their finely tuned bodies, should NOT have to stand and wait for so long after limbering up and warming up. They are treasures of Jamaica. The officials and/or the equipment dropped the ball.

  8. Wish her all the best, but if she places any lower Dan 1st in di sprint double it’s going to look bad dat she got rid of her coach who coached her to her through arguably her best season ever last season

  9. For those spewing negativity towards Elaine, trust and believe it will backfire. She didn’t say the start problems were exclusive to her; because of the long wait, she felt flat coming out of the blocks. She also made it known that she’s grateful.

    Everyone’s body is different, and believe it or not, the start affected everybody that was in the race

  10. Look how some of you guys bashing the lady over a loss at trials. I wish all three could win the race at worlds but sadly one have to come first second or third. And that’s the thing with Jamaicans they forget not all three can win, they praise the winner of the moment and then crusify the persons behind.
    Elaine didn’t make an excuse I was watching the race and I was fustrated myself much less the athletes. Next thing people deal with things differently, I am happy that sherica won because if she didn’t you all would be questioning if she should run at worlds, now her confidence is through the rough. You all need to stop tearing down these girls some countries would die to have them

  11. Well said Elaine, such grace, such class. Good luck ladies Jamaica is behind you!!🇯🇲🏃🎖

  12. It’s very risky having these professional athletes waiting so long after warming their bodies up can cause injuries.

    It’s unacceptable these athletes work very hard for these important moments.
    💯 agree with Elaine..

  13. Every athlete faced the same problem, however, their reactions will be different. The delay wasn’t 5 or 10 minutes it was over 20 minutes with technical issues, at the National trials, unacceptable to stay the least.

  14. They wouldn’t have waited on any of the athletes if they were late for over 20 minutes, that race would be done. Well said Elaine 👏🏽 My champion 🔥 all day💕every day 🥰
