Deena Kastor??? Really???

She has been retired for a decade.

Other than maybe Shalane, she's still one of the most popular female American distance runners and being retired allows her to do more to promote the brand.

**A lot of Pros have a built in extended gear contract if they're Olympic medalists.

When going through the top 10 finishers at CIM this year about 70% do not have a contract that is anymore than gear. Will any of them land a gig?

Not till they break 2:10. LOL

All this shows how little money there is in distance running. I think that's a great thing.

Agreed. All distance running contracts all over the world in 2019 should be terminated indefinitely along with all prize money and appearance fees. Then the doping Africans will be flushed away from the sport and it will become great again and Americans will become dominant once more.

That Asics stable is weak to say the least.

Jarrion suspensed.

Candace a shell of the promise she showed.

Deena is old (though I agree she is a great ambassador for Asics)

Diego could easily be only Asics athlete at USA Outdoors and

Heard Gregorek finally got out of Asics and will sign Hoka with rest of Gags group.

What happened to Asics Furman Elite? Looked like they were at least sending finalists in 2016 and a couple cute ladies with Garcia, See, Bush, Teschuk, etc.

Is Saucony shuttering their doors as well? Haven’t heard of any new signings so believe they have 3 guys and maybe Siedel. Coach Broe not able to sustain funding?

With Cory McGee moving on, is NB Boston/Coogan folding soon (only relevant athlete is Ellen)?

Caleb masland losing his Skechers Performance sponsorship.

Gets your kids into golf. stay away from gymnastics. stay away from tennis. tennis is too demanding for white american women.

And BAA signed Thompson from Kentucky.

Who else is there?

I know the best ladies followed Mahon.

BOLD PREDICTION:

Skechers cleans and signs a ton of athletes. You heard it here first.

He signed this past fall. That is old news. Who signs on January 1st?

Gwen Jorgensen reduced 25%

There are only two groups that matter. The rest are/will be lucky to get a scrap of a world or Olympic team:

Women: Bowerman

Men: Army/Nike/ADP

Is the Wal-Mart Yodeler on contract?

Everyone who you don’t know will sign a brooks contract through the trials.

A shoe deal is not a contract.

Saucony recently added Jon Green to that group a few months ago and a 400 meter runner from Merrimack College that's transitioning to the 800. They do have a smaller group but I don't expect them to shut the door just yet.

Doe the freedom TC sign foreigners as well? any big foreign names signed this year at any professional teams?

Zap signed a multi year deal with On.

What's on? Dem runnin for Oiselle?

"On" has very small numbers at running retail but so does Nike. Reebok is nonexistent.
