So true!
Big up to the Maverick…So,so right youngman but this is Jamaica,old habits are hard to break..even in POLITRIK..
He should have stayed home
Yes he should have. Smh
You talked as if he know he was gonna get injured
@Track Boss it’s not about the injury it’s about him getting ready to go pro because carifta it’s important
Hindsight being 20/20.
SMH OH MY GOD 😮😮.
I agree Mavrick🎉
Hindsight is 20/20 vision. What if he really wanted to go. If he had run a PB, would we be having this conversation. This was an unfortunate injury, but hese things do happen in sports. He could have stayed home and still get injured during a training session. This is the nature of sports. Look at the accomplishments of Jaydon Hilbert and yet he insisted that he wanted to compete at the championships and his coach facilitated his request to do so.
Exactly , Hibert over qualified than anybody on that plane Becaz he’s an athlete that can medal at world champs with how good he is but yet still he wanted to jump at carifta, if Nkrumie had run 9.90 and break the world junior record, nobody wouldn’t say anything , and ppl talking about he should have rest when he didn’t really work at champs lol he ran the 100 and the relay, ntn that killing and he want3d to seal off his junior career with breaking the carifta record as well. Any athlete can get hurt anytime and that’s why u run when u are healthy and fit while u can Becaz it’s always going to be in the bk of your head if u didn’t run and still got hurt somewhere else and then ull be saying u shoulda. It’s track and field, very unforgiving sport. Becaz if Shelly get up and go run at a simple all comers meet and get hurt none a unnu Naa seh she shouldn’t run. Carifta was always part of Nkrumie program for the season.
@Yannick Edwards I wouldn’t say that Hibbert is over-qualified, there were other members of the team who have also medalled at the World Juniors at varying degrees. Unless you are speaking to the fact that he’s the reigning World Junior champion and record holder? I agree with the comments about Nkrumie.
@Nordia Richards I said over qualified Becaz he can medal at world championship , no other Jamaican junior can medal at world champs at the moment. Hibbert 17.54 indoors jump would have placed him 3rd at last year world champs, no other junior comes close to saying that, and he’s doing that with 8 steps, he still haven’t showed us what he can really do with a full run up. So it’s a fact he is over qualified. Hibbert is the most talented athlete from Jamaica since Usain Bolt
@Yannick Edwards 👌👍
But look how BVI pulled out Adaejah Hodge out her race..because it seems like they don’t want to risked it..although nobody knows why they pull her out the races..but it’s just my thoughts!..Nkrumie bigger than Carifta..so does Hodge!
Bvi, pull her out because they didn’t want her to get DISTROY by allana Reid, that all they knew allana Reid would exposed her they can’t afford to have that embarrassing , watch she will be back next year
@gary sutherland that part too! 😄
@gary sutherland Hodge had a swollen ankle, not intimated by Reid. If that was the case, she would jave started in the 200m and the long jump
@sweetangelplus mouth make to say anything..let’s see proof!!
@platinumsweets I guess you should know about mouth. The team actually said she got an injured ankle. Why should she run and make her injure it more just to prove a point? You all are the same people who said Briana is not good anymore, even though she is nursing a minor injury right now and that is right her last run was not competitive and is the reason she didn’t run at Miramar.
I always wondered why we are still sending athletes to Carifta, especially the top tier ones. Also, Champs and Carifta were only 1 week apart. Wisdom would dictate that more recuperation time should be given between both meet.
Question how bad is his injury? Because I saw him walking on the track at the closing ceremony is he ok, I sure do hope so as a Calabar lion I pray for his speedy recovery he’s gonna be one of our greats.
Grade 1 hamstring tear, not the worst of injuries just have to ensure he heals properly
@Stephan R Damn it🤬I was hoping it was just a cramp or something, hope he heals in time for trials and come back stronger🙏🏽scared of any hammy injuries though, look at Chelsea’s midfielder Kante hammy injury put him down for almost the whole season.
But if him did neva injury and him go to the final and ram a sub tem…then u would be all over sports News Glorifying him and praying him..double stander mouth u have..
Youth need proper management or else him ago just be a wonder kid gone missing. Someone need to fix this and fast
That’s the coaching fault in my humble opinion, when one has a gifted sprinter those legs baby must be protected at all cost, (meaning) making damn sure those muscles are loose & warm & blood flow is correct before & after a race, its not a game its life & its real👌; 😮came very close to losing my right🦵leg, I had internal bleeding & the coach thought it was a simple pull, took his sweet time bout the situation, & thought I was just a baby bout the situation, (but in truth I was in absolute terrible quiet pain coming back from the track meet, he even stopped off to eat with the team, I couldn’t go in I was hurting to bad, & almost blacking out, after we got back to the dormitory the coach was still insensitive, left me in the car with a few of us just getting out of the second car thinking I wasn’t hurt that bad, I was just not tough, so after everyone was bout gone, I asked a friend who had a car to take me to the emergency room to get l👀ked at, they put me on the table, the doctor took a l👀k at the swelling as I asked him to give me a shot for the pain, he turned his back on me, told me not tonight & immediately got the best trained technicians in therapy the hospital had, & those two young men saved my leg from being cut ✂️ off from my butt, they said I had extreme internal bleeding & if I had waited over night to be treated the next day I would have lost my leg 🦵& perhaps my life(😮probably why I’m so very sensitive bout how coaches are treated, & how they treat their students, & why I so highly respect “Bolts” coach & “Eliane’s” coach, those two “Gents” deserve the very highest honor of respect in my 📖 ) the coach at the end of the day lost that job but of course got another one at another college, over all he was a pretty good coach but he was “White” & i was 👉☻️ & that was the dividing line of my humanity with him, they can only go so far when one’s hue is not exactly like theirs need i say more.Amen!!!
You view that certain athletes don’t need Carifta is null. Most young athletes look forward to Carifta, athletes get injured anywhere.
AMEN
Mi always been saying dis,,,,after champs the athletes dont get enough time fi CARIFTA,,,,
S U
I don’t agree with the maverick. It was just unfortunate it happened at the carifta games it could have happened anywhere. I wish him a speedy recovery.
OK, but how are you helping?
