Merlene in head-to-head
battles with
the best
On this page you will find out how Merlene has done in head-to-head battles against some
of the best female sprinters around for the last 25 years. It can be seen that
Merlene has done really great against almost every sprinter: Not counting
relays, she has positive records against everyone except Marita Koch and Marion
Jones. Though when looking
at the figures you have to remember the point in time or more correctly speaking
the timing of the careers of the respective sprinters. For instance is it no
surprise that Merlene has lost more races than she has won over Marion Jones as
Merlene had her best years between 1989 and 1996 and Marion has only been around
(and on top) since 1997. At the very beginning of her career Merlene was faced
with an Evelyn Ashford who was on the height of her career in the first half of
the 1980's. On the other hand, the girls that raced against Merlene in her
prime time at the beginning of the 1990's have mostly seen her back!!!
Due to the enormous amount of statistical information from all of the
different head-to-head battles I have split them up into these different pages:
Ottey vs. the Americans (Ashford, Brisco,
Devers, Flo-Jo, Jones, Miller & Torrence)
Ottey vs. the GDR Girls (Drechsler,
Gladisch-Möller, Koch & Krabbe)
Ottey vs. the Europeans (Arron, Perec,
Pintusevich, Privalova & Thanou)
But right here you can see how she has done against two other great Jamaican
