Yeah, it must have been put there right after my post

Konrad Bukowiecki has withdrawn from the NC with an injury. He says his participation in Tokyo is not in question as of now.

Hasn't thrown since June 10.... any insight?

Not track related, but bad news for Poland's swim squad.

Olympic swimmers sent home from Tokyo over country’s ‘embarrassing’ blunder

Six swimmers who thought they’d made Poland’s Olympics squad have returned home from Tokyo after sporting officials owned up to a heartbreaking blunder.

The Polish swimming federation (PZP) put 23 athletes on a flight to Japan - when they were only supposed to select and send 17.

RIP Ed!

This seems like an appropriate place to post this very sad news -- Ed Marcinkiewicz, who was a frequent visitor to the board to keep up with Polish athletes, died from pancreatic cancer last night in Houston. Coach Ed, who was a longtime assistant at Texas A&M until 2005, was one of the finest people I knew and he will be greatly missed. He had a very wide range of interests and most recently worked for M-F Athletics. The only thing I can't forgive him for is his support of Arsenal, but we all have our crosses to bear.

RIP, Ed. You were one of a kind.

So sorry to hear the sad news about Ed Marcinkiewicz. He was a great guy who always brought a unique point of view to every track and field discussion! Ed will truly be missed. RIP!
