USA relies on its massive East African population now. Ethiopian population in GB 20K, whereas in the USA it is 305K. Same for Sudanese and Kenyan. And as yanks are more racist than Brits, they get pigeonholed into distance runners at high-school from day one.

Get out of here with this nonsense. Your best sprinter was born in Anguilla. Colonialism the only thing keeping the UK competitive.
UK sports teams never really line up with national borders. It's just the way these things go. Athletes from Anguilla have as much right to compete for the UK as anyone else. It's governed by the UK. Ciara Mageean could by the UK's best female 1500m runner if she wanted but prefers to represent Ireland. You win some, you lose some.

I thought we were discussing middle-distance? As far as the sprints are concerned :
Black American population 40 million
Black British population 1.5 million.
Only reason the US is competitive at anything is because of the African slave trade. Imagine if Britain had still been importing African slaves in the lives of some of our grandfather's, instead of being the first society in human history to ban slavery and actively stop other countries engaging in it? USA wouldn't even be one country now as Britain only stayed out of the US civil war because it didn't want to support the South over slavery. We even boycotted Southern US cotton leading to mass unemployment and even famine in the North of England.
US can't produce a single decent non African middle-distance guy. Imagine how many world class 800 and 1500 runners GB would have if 80% percent of them weren't stolen by soccer?
.......and the 100m. Zharnel Hughes has the fastest wind-legal time this year and his run under 10 6 times. Based on how soft the event is in 2023, he could end up a World Champ.
Americans were stacking up Diamond League victories yesterday. Good thing for the Brits is they added that extra non-Diamond league m800 to give something for the home fans to shout about.
To play along, we needed to show the yanks how a 800m is run with depth of our B, C and D squads
