Are you ready to witness the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix on February 2? The contest is going to be something exhilarating in the presence of Olympic victors and the losers. Well, the New Balance Grand Prix wouldn’t bring inequality in the athletes’ status. Rather, the track and field contest will see them starting from the same white line, with zero special notation. Is this competition capable of crowning a clear winner in the US-Jamaican track and field rivalry?
According to a Jamaican speedster, she will not go deeper in that discussion. Instead, she will continue what she does best- challenge her American rival once again and put her on another test on the track. Can you guess the names of these two athletes? Here’s a hint: both belong to women’s short hurdles events.
On January 30, the X-handle of Grand Slam Track shared a clip of Ackera Nugent interacting with Tiara Williams. Over the cup of coffee, the tête-à-tête could have been something pleasant without any fiery words. But Tiara’s curiosity brought the chapter of US-Jamaican track and field rivalry into the discussion. Being one of the young Turks in the Jamaican squad, Ackera failed to ignore the topic and the questions.
It was all about Nugent’s competition with Masai Russell in the women’s 60m and 100m hurdles. The Jamaican youngster, meanwhile, claimed, “Both of us are very good competitors. We grew up in different situations. We grew up in different areas. We want this so bad for different reasons, but you know it’s the US against Jamaica.”
We see you, Jamaica
