Richardson not in the top three?

Richardson not in the top three?

my WAG would be that she wins the 100 and doesn't run at all

[Atticus]

Richardson not in the top three?

Yeah, that is indeed a shocker. If she runs, she wins.
Also Sturgis so low?

[AFelixFan]

That's what I'm thinking is most likely.

[Zendro]

Wait the fastest out of the whole lot this year isn't even considered top 3? 😂😂😂

[booond]

Sturgis ran a great 2 last weekend and Brittany Brown shouldn't be discounted.

[ATK]

Unless she is worried about injury, I cant imagine Richardson not running since this is the Olympics. I think her and Thomas are as good as it gets here, and has I actually think this is Sturgis' better event making the top 3.

You're talking about Richardson scratching, but what about Felix? Now she's made the 400 team, will she start here? There's plenty of rest until the 200m heats, but still, it takes it out of you. Does she want to put herself through more rounds and possibly not make the team in this event? What does she gain from that, other than being knackered and pushing back her last bit of Tokyo training by another week?

[ATK]

I see no reason why Felix would scratch either. She has said her goal is the double here at trials for the past 2 years and then wants to have a decision to make on what to run in Tokyo.

The extra week of training doesn't make much sense since they have been planning for this double the whole time.

[That70sGuy]

Barring injury, I can’t see anyone besides Gabby ahead of Richardson if she runs. My take is the race is Thomas and SCR for first and everyone else for third.

Two reasons: She wants to have choices in July. She gets huge ego-stroking from NBC for the remainder of the Trials.

According to Ato on Twitter, Richardson will not contest the 200m ...

[Weights&Shoes]

Damn.

[ATK]

Though I believe Ato, he also has been telling us all season Felix wasn't running the 400m...
