Let's be real gabby will take the 200 but still going to be a great race

[TeStOs]

ll props to Julien for going through soo many rounds of 100m & 200m, to come and take silver in this final. I'm sure it would have been a harder challenge for the gold if she was in lane 6.

If Gabby didn’t make the USA roster she could have ran for Jamaica based on her fathers citizenship; if she chose.

[everaldduncan]

The Olympic is nothing compare to Jesus is coming back will be the biggest event .

[davinaemina]

[caseyrichards]

[stevewilson]

Why don't you actually show the race instead of talking about it.

[BlackSoulBrutha]

It was over from the start. Gabby humbled the entire field. It was a total bytch slap to Julien Alfred who shunned Gabby b4 the race.

[ernestmamuno]

The disrespect for Favour Ofili is overwhelming!
