"Road to Oregon"

[donley2]

Tuesday.

It's pretty late in the day in Europe, and as far as I can tell there is no update for this week.

Damian Warner skipping the Canadian champs due to a sore knee. Hmm. Open door for someone else?

Somewhat related. It would be nice if World Athletics did an update on the "Road to Oregon" list more often than roughly once a week it appears to happen so far. They update auto Q's faster than that, but all the rest based on World Rankings appear to be once a week (Thursdays maybe??).

As per duplicate thread, Dafne Schippers is currently not qualified for the w100m. She's entered in the 100 at the Dutch nationals this weekend, but the weather is due to be stormy, so it's unlikely she will get the QT. She has the 200m from last season, but hasn't run any 200's since Tokyo.

The qualifying period finishes in 6 days on June 26th. Most National Championships will be staged on that weekend, so it's a last chance for many athletes to qualify. The current qualifiers are on the World Athletics website as usual:

One notable non-qualifier in the w100m as it stands is Dafne Schippers. The 100m, in which she is entered at the NC's this weekend, will be held on the Friday evening. At present the weather forecast is very poor, with 50% chance of rain and storms, so looking at her form this year, 11.15 will be extremely difficult. She has the Q for the 200m.

Are there any other big names that haven't got the Q in other events?

Sounds like Boling isn't entered in the LJ, which is a pity, but overall, I think the US team will have at least three entrants in almost all the events. Of course, rankings may change between now and the deadline, and hopefully, some additional athletes will make standard/rankings at USATF.

On the men's side, I only see the javelin being short. And the two walks.

On the women's side, I think the US has a full squad. Even the TJ and jav, which have usually been the outliers. Looks like the 20K walk has just one, but the 35K walk has the full complement.

Am I missing anything?

2 months away and the USA still under-(wo)manned. Current Qualed and [ranked]:

mHJ - JuV [McEwen 9th, Sullivan 20th]
mLJ (!) - Dendy and Boling [McCarter 16th]
mDT (!) - B Williams [Mattis 19th]
mHT - Winkler [Haugh 14th, Young 18th]

wHJ - VC [McCoy 16th]
wTJ - Orji and Moore
wJT - Malone [Winger 19th]

Boling seems to be shying away from the LJ at the moment and his OD best so far is under 7.50. I would have thought the LJ would be his better event for a spot. Not sure the 100/200 will cut it for him with so many US greats.

Haugh got his Q in Tucson last night

How is that different from what I already said?

I'll end this with a maybe you're right.

I think what he's saying is that was only if the US introduced similar travel restrictions which the US was unlikely to do. IOW we are a ways away from that.

That the USA would adopt Japanese travel restrictions?! I certainly don't see that happening, if for no other reason than political.

[NotDutra5]

I said that too and NotDutra said that's not "what gh was saying at all."

[Atticus]

My take on what GH said was "if the US Government introduces similar travel restrictions as Japan, and enforces them for WC athletes as well"
