If she looked like Serena Williams or an athlete from the former East Germany, no one would look twice at this. Or maybe we would, while having a good laugh at the incongruity.
Having said that, although some of her movements are definitely sexy by any standard, they can also easily be seen to be legitimate loosening up movements. Her hippy hippy shake thing, for instance, since she is a hurdler and her hip sockets need to be loose. It appears to work. There wasn’t anybody in front of her at the finish line. She is a perfect storm of beauty, grace, and power and marketing and the media will make sure we are treated to more displays of her “athleticism”.

This young woman is a ray of sunshine in a depressed world. The fact that she’s cute as a bug helps. Nobody could watch the clip without ending up with a smile on their face. You go girl!

I much agree with Alan Block…and if you watched the video closely, her path down the track was laser-straight. All of her kicks over the rail were within inches of the same spot (the inner edge of the red line), meaning she did not waver in her path, and she never touched the rails…as clean a run as she is sexy…and that’s a pretty damn clean run!

Here’s to success to her…hope to see her (and her dance) in Rio in 2016!

Looks like she is having the time of her life doing what she loves!
Who can condemn that?

Objectifying women?? PLEASE….the only ones who say that are the women who are not objectified, and men who say they’re feminists, aka LOSERS!!! This women is sexy as hell and gave me a boner, deal with it.

She’s having so much fun that it looks like she’s literally about to break out into a dance. She’s so over the top that happy that you just kind of have to love her. Bet she’s quite fun to hang out with.

Unless you’re jealous. U mad?

” . . . and rejoiceth as a strong woman to run her race.”
Psalm 19:5
What we have here is the sheer joy of being an athlete and doing what you love. Her enthusiasm, exuberance and unselfconscious pleasure in being who she is, that is what is attractive. This is what God has put us here for: find your race and run it with joy!

I took the race as her being slightly nervous but really happy to be there.Its something very fresh and obviously has people watching.She is a very beautiful young lady also so that doesnt hurt and winning the race was icing on the cake

You know, the thing is, I’ve seen other track and field runners in years past also have somewhat similar “warmup rituals”, and I enjoyed watching them get ready, … but all of a sudden, one person in particular gets a lot of attention, and its as if she’s the first one to warmup up in this fashion.

But, as you say, perhaps it’s because she’s got that innocent look on her face (not a grumpy competitive look, focusing in on the task at hand), smiling to people in the stands, etc., and then finishing the race as if she hardly broke a sweat, again waving to people in the stands, with hardly a look as if she’s just won a hurdling event, with no immediate “out of breath” look on her face at all.

Too bad she didn’t make it to the Olympics, … but there’s always next time. I’ll certainly be waiting to see if she can make it in 4 years from now!

She only won this race because there was only ONE black girl running against this heat.
