The announcer doesnt know what she is talking about. Syd is always looking very intense at the start before the gun goes off. It's nothing new. I've been watching her since she was 16 when she busted out on the world stage like a shooting star. It makes me nervous watching her stand there before the gun goes off swaying back and forth like that with her focused zoned out look trying to block it all out. Once the gun goes off she is smooth and relaxed as silk. Watching her in that quick sway with that focused expression trying to block out her nerves makes me nervous as hell. If I had to gamble I would guess she follows some type of strict mental routine to block out a bad case of pre race jitters or stage fright. Once the gun goes off she is fine.

Super beast mode. A lot of people yard sprinting good but no setting records but Syd is running a much tougher event and set records 5 out of the last 5 races! Now that’s the most talented runner in the world and her hurdle time is faster than the top 400m women runners and her 400m relay anchor leg was under a second faster than Uibo’s winning 400m time at Worlds a month ago. Jamaica keep boasting about running PB’s but haven’t broken any records but Syd is clearly running a much tougher race with hurdles and destroying records. Let’s celebrate this champion properly. The best part about Syd’s performances is that she isn’t verbally talking about not getting respected enough by the organizers or complaining about her sponsors. Syd just kicking ass and she daring anyone, of any country to come get that smoke!
She is just amazing. It's not only that she wins, but how she wins.

When these athletes line up beside her they have to know they r going for 2nd n 3rd place. The same way every1 who lined up along side Michael Johnson in the 400m knew they were running for 2nd n 3rd n the same way the men who lined up alongside Edwin Moses knew what it was.

What I found a little off-putting was the cameraman's lingering in her face to disrupt her pre-race focus and the woman commentator's comment about her not smiling into the camera. I've watched this young woman for awhile, and the intense pre-race focus has been consistent. I'm rather surprised more athletes don't do the same.
