The athletes you missed the most this 2021 season?

[Atticus]

Definitely Christian Taylor.

Absolutely - by a mile.
Then Coleman and Brazier.

People who were out/off at Tokyo - Kendricks and LaVillenie, Lyles and Norman, Ajee Wilson, Coburn, Morris, Price, KJT . . .

[KDFINE]

He ran the 400m twice this year in the UK back in May, only hitting times of 48.27 and 48.01. I know for the past 2ish years, including this summer, he has been focusing on photography

Thanks for the update. Sounds like he's moving on with life.

Definitely Christian Taylor.

Being a New Yorker I've missed Paul Dedewo. He ran some in '19 but i've never seen anything about his retirement or injury or whatever.

I missed Christian Taylor, Caster Semenya vs Mu, Micheal Carter in shot put and Rudisha in 800m (both are kind of retired?!).

Michael Carter? 60 yr old who played football after his shot put career? I am pretty much sure he is retired.
His daughter has not retired yet.

The women's 800 is a much better event without Semenya...a farce when S was running. The DSDs have no business in the women's races.

Daniel Komen....imagine what he could do in the fancy shoes. And Geb.

Totally agreed! Remember 2-4% improvement. Geb would run 26:30-40 but so would Bekeley when he was 24.

Ashton Eaton

[Fortius19]

Thomas Rohler

[rhizobium]

Certainly not Coleman. Entirely deserved ban.

[DentyCracker]

NOT Semenya and Coleman LOL
Seriously though Asafa Powell and Genzebe Dibaba

[reggaeirie1234]

Semenya and Coleman.

[NotDutra5]

Was Brazier recovering from illness or injury? He was at the OT's, but not the same as he once was.

Foot injury apparently
