Excited for the women's 100m sprint in Tokyo today. Happy that Dina is in good shape but defo cheering for the Jamaicans.
How is it in your house when a british athlete is up against someone from the country of your family heritage?
C130 · 31/07/2021 09:53
Never happens for me, so I always support the British team. Come on Dinah

Dina for me! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzziiiiiiippppppppp! FINISH!
HmmmmmmInteresting · 31/07/2021 10:51
I'd usually be routing for my country of origin. I've not been following the Olympics this year so don't know which events we're in.
EchoNan · 31/07/2021 10:56
Visitor supporting Jamaica!
( Obviously he wants to keep in with Maggie after eating her delicious cake recipe ha ha)
I'm supposed to be going out, but hanging on for the race.
EchoNan · 31/07/2021 11:10
I'm limbering up in solidarity.
One two three, one, two,three
A few stretches......
< reaches for more cake >

Obviously love Dina but realistically Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce, love her!
Maggiethecat · 31/07/2021 11:21
Happy for Elaine although my favourite is the pocket rocket but still gutted for Dina - hope she can still make it to the final.
EchoNan · 31/07/2021 11:24
Maggie is your cooking the secret behind these amazing Jamaican runners?
Maggiethecat · 31/07/2021 11:28
@EchoNan - I'd like to take credit but as Bolt said - it's the yam 😂
Maggiethecat · 31/07/2021 11:29
I think Dina still has a good shot at the 200 though 🤞🏽
Maggiethecat · 31/07/2021 11:30
@JayDot500 - haven't seen you in ages! hope all well

Lol!
Maggiethecat · 31/07/2021 11:35
OMG - pocket rocket looked like she was jogging. But Elaine will not give up her crown easily. Going to be a thriller!
TokyoSushi · 31/07/2021 11:42
After that performance I'd be amazed if Fraser Priceline doesn't get gold.
Early prediction 1) Fraser Pryce 2) Elaine Thompson 3) Ta Lou

Would love Shelley-Ann to get her 3rd Olympic gold for the event (how amazing would that be?!) I remember being at the Olympic village in 2012 and a rowdy group of Jamaicans cheering for her. Pandemonium when she beat Jeter.
JayDot500 · 31/07/2021 11:53
Mi deyah! But recent job change and suddenly I have less time. I always have time for the Olympics
