Shericka Jackson playing with fire here, but this still should be easily enough to qualify

Yeah, unfortunately. 3rd heat is so strong that I doubt that only two girls will break 51s. So probably no final.

I might not see some mistake in my English, but what I meant is I would not be surprised - at all - to see a faster time than 48.5 or something. She jogged to 49.66 and did nothing but braking in the last 30 meters.

But you do realize that would be within a second of Mrs. Koch?

Because really, really talented athletes who are very instable but have a very high peak can win the biggest things, better than athletes who are very stable, but with a lower peak  

 

It's funny because this is not how things work in gymnastics. If one throws huge difficulty with a high fail rate, there's no way we can call this gymnast highly talented. Yamilet Peña (DOM) and Dipa Karmakar (IND) were butchered by media and fans alike because they had big vaults but very poor execution.
