We know the terms of her agreement with Nike and the Prefontaine Classic?...

[ATK]

No because, IMO, were making an assumption. I think because of all the other pull outs, were assuming weather, Which it could be. But for all we know...

[ATK]

How could you say it was done very unprofessionally if you don't even know the reason?...

[ATK]

Sarcasm? Mu just ran 1:22.74 and 50.42...

As unfortunate as it is to see big names pull out, I'm sure Pre (and Birmingham) will be good for years to come.

Trayvon Bromell was added to the 100m field, along with Kyree King and Letsile Tebogo

I'm sure names like Ross (maybe Harding) will be going pro once NCAAs are over. Kind...

But I'm not even sure that was the case in either situation. Maybe Bolt, but he ran 2 other events in 2011. Bromell was not even close to being the draw...

[ATK]

Wait, what was the issue when Bolt and Bromell false started? Was it an issue when Christie false started twice (on the 3rd attempt) in 1996?...

Daegu 2011. He was pissed afterwards, but went on to win the 200m and 4x100 anyway....

I'm not sure if anyone remebers, but in one of the semi-finals (or heats) of the women's 400mH in Tokyo, they allowed an athlete to run after a blatant...

Isnt the running under protest thing allowed already? I know athletes used to do it super often in the years right after the 1 FS rule was put in place,...

[ATK]

Exactly. Which is also why I see the results of 100/200 US women pretty much remaining the same as 2021: Only Thomas comes (stays!) home with a medal....
