Black excellence takes over the 2021 Olympic trials

The ladies and gentlemen chose Black excellence in every category for the Tokyo Olympics trials. Sha’Carri Richardson, Allyson Felix, Trayvon Bromell, Quanera Hayes, Christina Clemons from Track & Field as well as Simone Biles, Simone Manuel, the men’s NCAA 4×400 Championship relay team, and many more that succeeded to the Tokyo Olympics this past week.

We saw the unapologetic Sha’Carri Richardson excel at what she does best, in the Track and Field category making her one of the fastest women in U.S. sprinting history alongside the iconic Flo Jo.  During the Olympic trials Richardson ran top speed at 10.86 which was one of the Top 10 fastest times in history, and missed Florence Griffith Joyner’s world record by 0.24. 

Allyson Felix has been competing for some time now and now this is her time to shine. This is her fifth time competing for Team USA. Felix finished second with a time of 50.02 seconds in the 400m to clinch her fifth trip to the Summer Olympics.

Felix also endured a lot to get to this year’s Olympics with her pregnancy as well as Nike’s attempt to cut her pay by 70% when she returned to the track, and the company declining to protect her pay, if her post-pregnancy performances were not up to par. Through it all she succeeded and is now joining the many others in their Tokyo Olympics journey.  

The North Carolina A&T State University made history at the NCAA Track and Field Championships landing them a spot in the Tokyo Olympics. Akeem Sirleaf, Trevor Stewart, Daniel Stokes, and Randolph Ross ran the 4×400-meter relay. Sophomore Randolph Ross Jr finished with a 44.74 time and senior Trevor Stewart finished with a 44.90, where graduate student Akeem Sirleaf and junior Daniel Stokes will run for Liberia and Mexico.

The 24-year-old swimmer Simone Manuel also secured her spot with a major comeback for the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo by winning the 50-meter freestyle by -0.01 seconds. Manuel was previously diagnosed with overtraining syndrome back in March while experiencing symptoms that could have hindered her performance through trails. She fought a huge battle and ultimately made herself and the U.S. proud. 

The Olympics will begin Friday, July 23rd where we will see all of this phenomenal individuals compete.

  101. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is important and all. Nevertheless imagine if
    you added some great images or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
    Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this blog could definitely be one of
    the greatest in its field. Terrific blog!

  152. Hello, i think that i saw you visited my weblog thus i came to “return the favor”.I am trying to find things to improve my site!I suppose its ok to use a few of
    your ideas!!

  153. You actually make it appear really easy along with your presentation but I in finding this topic to be
    actually one thing which I believe I’d never understand.
    It seems too complex and very broad for me. I’m taking a look forward in your subsequent post, I will try to get the hang of it!

  160. I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you design this website yourself or did
    you hire someone to do it for you? Plz reply as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to find out where u
    got this from. thanks

  170. Generally I do not read post on blogs, however I wish to say that this
    write-up very compelled me to try and do so! Your writing style has been surprised me.
    Thank you, quite great article.

  172. My partner and I are developing a Joomla website for a certain project. We are using separate computer and separate hosts (localhosts). My partner has made changes to the graphical design and database structure so I have copied the directories (folders) to my computer. In doing such, I have encountered this error message “Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL”. Please help. Thanks :)).

  174. Oh my goodness! Incredible article dude! Many thanks,
    However I am going through issues with your RSS. I
    don’t know why I cannot join it. Is there anybody having similar RSS issues?

    Anyone who knows the solution will you kindly respond?

    Thanks!!

  236. Great work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher! Come on over and visit my site . Thanks =)

  293. Have you ever thought about publishing an e-book or guest authoring on other websites?
    I have a blog based upon on the same ideas you discuss and would really like
    to have you share some stories/information. I know
    my viewers would enjoy your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to
    send me an e mail.

  334. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious
    what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having
    a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% certain.
    Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Appreciate it

    The tabs inside PriWeb are rather bare; there is no option to organize them according to personal preferences.

It is an ideal choice for users who prefer simplicity over superior functionality.

    Obviously you can choose any odd frequency and any even frequency, and vary the odd frequency and the even frequency to shift the double frequency spacing – as shown below.
