In the Athlete's Lounge who is the woman in the lower right hand corner?

I watch a lot of track but not U20 events other than NCAA finals, maybe that explains it. Weird last sentence, you're projecting something odd here.

And some will look and perform even worse at the global championship if experience holds.

Didn't Norwood qualify as an individual today?

Does that "teenage" Ethiopian SHOVE someone in every race. Getting sick of that lil dude.

Men 400M: Jacory Patterson stands an excellent chance of gold

Men 110MH: Tinch if he hurdles cleanly, stands an excellent chance of gold.

Women Discuss: Valerie Altman is the favourite with an excellent chance of gold

Men 200M: Lyles stands a good chance of gold.

Women 100M: MJW stands a good chance of gold

Women Shott: Jackson stands a good chance of gold.

Women Pole Vault: Moon stands a good chance of gold

Did Norwood win his event?

To stop jog fests like Grand scam track

Obviously.

I'm not confused.

I'm just saying it's not the excuse you think it is.

Not a lot, even for a list of maybes.

The fewest gold medals the US has won at a world championships is five in 2001.

I predict exactly three individual golds for the US:

- Lyles in the 200.

- Tinch in the 100h.

- Altman in the discus.

That's it, that's ALL.

I also predict that there will zero distance medals by American men (in the 1500-5000-10,000-M).

Rai Benjamin, Chris Bailey, Cole Hocker, Grant Fisher, Ryan Crouser, Sydney, Tara Davis-Woodhall are all gold medal contenders as well, some of them currently ranked #1 in the world.

Werro as the national wild card will receive the full prize money, but she will not receive the Diamond Trophy or be crowned the DL Champion. The DL Champion and Trophy go to the athlete who placed 2nd.

There's obviously no guarantees but Brazier or Cooper can not be discounted in the 800. On the flip side, I would also not be surprised if Cooper is out in the first round with something like a 1:51, it's been a loooong season.

Men's 100? Also hard to predict but crazier things have happened.

Crouser has an injury that has kept him out all season. I forgot about TDW. I do not know enough of long distance to know if Hocker and Fisher are contenders.

Benjamin is a definite contender in the M400MH. Thanks for reminding me.

Your inclusion of Grant Fisher as a "gold medal contender" invalidates anything else you say.

The person who misses out is Valentina Rosamilia, who was 4th at Swiss nationals, and thus would have gotten a wild card if Werro had been considered Diamond League champion (she has a high enough world ranking to go).
