In Asian games. This is a serious violation of ethics by Bahrain and Qatar. IAAF needs to address this issue. My feeling is IAAF top brass is paid off handsomely by these oil rich nations.

Olympic podium finish

It is really tough. Flo Jo has the world record of 10.49(with abnormal wind speed). However need to run around 10.7-10.8 to have a podium finish

That is not good

The height of 5'3" is very poor for physical sports esp athletics even for women. To compete with world level athletes, importance of height cannot be ignored!!

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica who won the gold medal in 100 m at the 2008 Beijing and 20012 London Olympics has a height of 5' 2.5". So height is not a problem.
