I think there is a bit of overthinking what leg each athlete should run and the idea of traffic. Does having 1 team around (Jamaica) mean there is traffic?...

Update as I was wrong...Noah Lyles looks to just have left for Tokyo today. Which is strange because his coach and his entire training group who qualified...

I also keeping an eye out for Mboma and Masilingi to see if they can sneak in the 200m final.

[ATK]

It's very likely she runs both considering nothing overlaps on the schedule. I would guess if she ran in 2019, it would be pretty strange to keep her...

[ATK]

My thought, Ta Lou or Pandini winning would be a huge long shot, but if those 8 make up the final, I wouldn't be surprised at any of them finishing l...

[ATK]

Got you, I definitely understand that line of thinking.

Honestly, it's just so rare we have a world class 200/400 runner with serious medal...

[ATK]

Six or Eight?

Thomas, SAFP, Jackson, Prandini, ETH, SMU, DAS, Ta Lou (longest shot)...

[ATK]

Note, I dont have a real not argument for the 200m. I wouldn't be surprised if SMU finished 1st or 8th (Thomas, SAFP, Jackson, Prandini, ETH, DAS, Ta...

[ATK]

As you noted, she went missing because of some niggles after her April races. Her race at nationals was pretty controlled, though it's obviously impossible...

[ATK]

Yes .18 is not that far, but considering SMU's flat PB is closer to Felix's best relay split than her best flat time, there really isn't much discussion....

[ATK]

True, but if my PB was 48.3 and SB was 49.0, times no one in the field has scratched at their entire career? I know what I would be doing....

[ATK]

I agree. I think the gap between her and the field in the 400m cant be closed if she ends up with a "bad" lane (anything other than 1-2 seems...

[ATK]

Though I'm sure SMU and her team already decided, we still have a full week before we know if she will commit to the double. And before she even steps...

Following up on this, the American Track League meet did happen but it was just combined or partnered with the Sound Running Tour meet. I'm looking at...

Yes, all the sprinters (both 4x100 and 4x400) are now in the Olympic village so they can start practice. But they have not done any beforehand as is usually...
