Here's a new one, when I was looking up info on Gerry Ashworth, Olympic 1964 sprinter. This was included in his bio in a website titled " International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame" :
" He set the World Record for 100 yards, 9.4 in 1962, and matched it again in 1964. "

So which "first place" did McLauchlin claim at the 2019 World Championships? Are they talking about 4x4 relay?

The 10 young Americans bound to become household names at the Tokyo Olympics
Five years later, a polished McLaughlin, who claimed first place at the 2019 IAAF World Athletics Championships, is a heavy favorite to bring a medal to the United States.
These are the rising young stars bound to break out at this summer's Tokyo Olympics. Each of them has taken unique athletic journeys.

I found this about the USC athlete, Nicole Yeargin, who has a Scottish mother. According to the article, she is hoping to compete at the Tokyo Olympics for Scotland:

Of course, Scotland are part of the UK for the Olympics. Next year's Commonwealth Games is a possibility though.Last edited by Trickstat; 02-21-2021, 05:00 PM.

Always good to see track & field in mainstream media, but the claim by footballer Todd Gurley that he "accidentally" made Team USA for the 2011 World Youth Championships on "damn-near no prep" seems unlikely. Five weeks prior he was NC HS 2A State Champion, and two weeks prior he competed at the New Balance HS Nationals.
How freaky of an athlete was teenage Todd Gurley?? The Atlanta Falcons star ACCIDENTALLY qualified for team USA Track and Field in high school!!!
Very likely that he did not take track & field seriously, but hard to believe that he did not know he was going to the World Youth Trials. His expectations might have been very low (since he did not make the final at NBN), so winning the WYT could have been surprising.
