Impressive.
I like it when it's not predictable.
The suspence of not knowing who will will is what makes it interesting.

Okagbare is a beast .. she just needs to find the key to consistency. Elaine did look good but didnt press too hard. Naser ran the way she should and Schipper ..oh my, girl should have went back to hepathlon last year to find back her strength and switch to sprint this year to be a contender ... but seems like her new coach isn’t helping her and this year looks even worse than last year

[ohmsmudarikiri]

Great start from Okagbare. She's in synch with the gun!

[evethcharles]

This is the smartest Schippers' coach has ever been😃love how you jog that race Schippers from gun to tape, bravo 👏nice times Okagbare 👍

[KoolKaiser]

Blessing almost broke her PB, nice...Not too bad ET.

[okpankunkechi]

Love my nigerian sister...keep soaring high...excess love

[chine]

Huh. When in the world will she perform like this in a major event?

[mojabbar]

Bravo Okagbare, I worry for Schippers situation

[jamdum]

Blessings has talent but don't know how to use it when it matter most. A have a little faith in her that this time she will medal at the Championship. That was a great run from her Elaine no worries a Doha yuh ting Dah🔥

[isaakorede]

I wish Okagbare maintain this form for the world championships

[royestondsouza]

Amazing Salwa Naser. Maybe a 200-400 double gold in 2020? Just love her style. Go girl! She beat Schippers. Wow!

[andtam]

I always think that Okagbare is better at 200m than 100m.

[motivationaltv]

Well-done Sis! We are all proud of you

[andresuston]

Prandini is still doing her "famous move" where she starts jogging backwards after the bend. 😅

[eastcoastathletics]

Excellent running for the top 2 lady’s

[islandgirlruby]

Okay are is always a good competitor, congrats.

[olalekanolasunkanmi]

On her good day none of them can beat, she’s got the talent but she’s technically deficient, she’s also slow starter she doesn’t have that out of the block explosiveness hence she often play catch up in most of the race she has lost.Take those deficiencies away none of these ladies can compete with her.I wish she could get a better coach to work on those aspect of her race and she will be a dominant force.

[millicentadams]

The others are getting slower and she's getting quicker, (really?)

[murkeybadmayn]

Blessing finally executed from start to finish NG NG. I really really like poker-face Naser, so cool over the 400 m - i think she should stay on that. Well dafne's finished...

Hope she can produce this same calibar performance at worlds. She always runs well throughout the season but flunks at major championships
