Sydney OUT of Worlds!!!

Will probably be Paulino.

Anyways, Paulino, SMU, Wilson, Kaczmarek, Adeleke, Diggs, Eid Naser is probably going to be one of the most-watch events at Budapest, even with Sydney's absence.

I'm personally wondering if the US will still be able to get the 4x4 Gold without her (I'm guessing they'll run Wilson, Diggs, Thomas, and Irby-Jackson.

I dunno, honestly. I'm actually gonna say Netherlands might win.

How could the sport possibly grow in popularity if the only thing that matters is one meet every four years?

Of course Worlds is a big deal. So stupid for a track fan to say otherwise.

World Championships is JV.

WTF!!!! Can I get my money back. What the hell!

Shaunae Miller-Uibo had every reason to not compete this year but she is running anyway. Sydney bails after a minor injury and doesn't even enter in her main event. Athing bails because she lost motivation or whatever is going on with her.

The problem I have with "save it for the Olympics next year" logic is this gives your opponents time to build momentum going into next year. Mark my words, Femke Bol will win this year and gain a ton of confidence and just get stronger mentally and physically for Paris. She'll be a handful for Sydney.

Ya, it would be like if a golfer skipped all major tournaments except a few pro-am's to focus on The Masters. People would be like WTF?

The creepy af, controlling husband, probably convinced her that it's "God's will." I don't actually believe Kersee is the problem, her complete change in personally happened when she met that fool.

48h ago you announce you are all in for Brussels - now out of the worlds. On top of that from the Kersee camp you have Mu now in a place where the worlds are really not that important either and she might just go on vacay instead.

I’ve not contemplated that anything could be out of order with that camp until now. This just doesn’t smell right.

Me and my stupid American cheering sympathies. Future's so bright I burned out my corneas cheering for people who don't f'in run. Ugghh...

Because the track World Championships is our version of the NBA Finals you dillweed

clearly, they are not incentivized enough for showing up and winning at big events. she must be paid quite well just to train all year long.

Lmao not surprised u just know Athing announcement coming next.. smh

She may not be cheating, and I know the Olympics are what is most important but you can’t guarantee you’ll be healthy a year from now.

Track is such a short career, I would want to go for it but maybe it isn’t all that exciting to these two. Being so young and so good they might be over it all.

Well we all know that Sydney of Troy has the face that launched a thousand doping conspiracies. She is nice looking but…

To. The Gills.

lol, whatever.

we'll just enjoy the competition that does show up. there are no asterisk championships. i think Cheruyiot and Cheptegei have both been rehabbing injuries every championship since Doha and they keep showing up.

might have gotten hurt OVER TRAINING in an attempt for a record that isn't unattainable at this moment.

Also, this makes me appreciate Sifan Hassan tripling. Then we have people claiming rounds of a 400 (WITHOUT HURDLES) or an 800 is too much. Jeez.

I really thought Mu was still gonna race this year and the journalism piece was just gamesmanship, now i don't think we'll see either of them there.
