So he ran the 10K on a known stress injury? That seems like a poor choice to me.
WC team was on the line.
You wouldn’t understand that
Wishing Grant a speedy and full recovery.
Grant is a great competitor and will be back better then ever.
With a bum hip he was able to break everyone up until the home stretch when given his circumstance he probably didn’t have the power to kick.
can’t understand some people’s negativity on these boards. Grant is my favorite athlete in US track and field. He is the person that personifies all that is good about track and a great roll model for young kids in our sport.
Get well Grant. It’s a pleasure watching you race and represent the USA so very well.
Brazier needs to go to Bobby Kersee
Seems about right.
The top guys are in Europe running 12:40s in epic races and our top guy barely races and somehow is now injured.
Discus is a throwing event, not a running event, dumb dumb.
Also, not for nothing, but how did Jerry honestly conclude that he could effectively coach the Oregon distance team and the BTC simultaneously? That’s insane.

It's not a stress fracture.
A stress injury would refer to a "stress reaction", which if handled correctly, has a 2 week recovery period, as opposed to the 6-8 of a stress fracture.

very sus
anytime a fave pro pulls out like this you have to question if there is more to the story
This is so stupid lol he stated the reason and it's a good one
Another year with no medals for this so called all time great.
Earlier this spring BTC did a photoshoot where they gave the athletes some gear and then they all appeared to go out for an easy run. Grant was there to get the gear but didn’t run with the rest of the group. I just mentally flagged it that he could’ve been injured and then he raced so I forgot about it until now. Then he posted the photo of the spike to the ankle. I think he has been dealing with stuff all year as he hasn’t been the same. He’s could’ve been nursing it for a while. Obviously he’s fit cause there was a clear gap between him and klecker for a little bit but he ran out of power over that last 300.
Eyes are on the Olympics and threatening to break that femur tonight to (most likely) not make the team will put him WAY deeper in a whole.
I want him back firing on all cylinders next year so rest up Grant. Also hopefully this gets McGorty in because that guy is talented as heck and has been dealt a bad deal with those ankle surgeries/infections. Glad there probably isn’t tension there about the spot considering Grant is injured.
Unfortunately femoral stress fractures are typically 12 weeks so my guess is a reaction there would be closer to 4
Seems to me there is definitely a serious gap missing in professional runners ability to stay healthy. There should be more attention given to dietary health, nutritional analysis, and regular bone density testing to keep athletes from having injuries related to stress reactions in bones.

I know what you’re saying and from our limited perspective of Grant, he seems like a stellar dude. Has since his high school days.
but looks can be crafted and the nicer you are perceived, the easier it is to deceive.
He runs for a team with a convicted doper and Jager was a highly suspicious athlete Lee the leak.
sadly, we can no longer give this team the benefit of the doubt.

Was a fig leaf to provoke and cover a slow wind down of BTC in my opinion evaluating only the publicly available information

He recruits a whole bunch of star distance runners to Oregon and they disappear. They barely compete. I don't know why people still go there.
TINA, other than oac?

Totally agree. People seem to be making developments on the stress side of the equation (see double thresholds twice a week plus a hill session once a week most the year—very low impact/stress) but the recovery, nutrition, density etc side of the equation seems to be stuck. Collagen and iron and ??? Why don’t we have latest and greatest on that side of things?
A stress reaction in the hip/femur is minimum 6 weeks, and that's if its caught super early and it's lower on the femur. A stress reaction in the the hip area, and it's recovery, is nothing like a stress reaction in the shin or foot.
