You forgot to mention that Andrews never even showed up to the starting line of the Trials 1500. So “missed Olympics” is a moot point. And: 137th- Andrews (5000) missed Olympics.
I hate to do it, but add vissa ti the pile.
Vissa didn’t advance, but she ran a PB in the fastest of the heats. While not a big credit in Ritz’s ledger, I don’t think her result is a disappointment, unlike a lot of the others.
Sinta was injured this spring so running a PB is a good result. If she makes it out of the repachage and into the semi, that’d be nice for her as I didn’t see her making it out of the semi with or without the extra round. I think you gotta be 3:56 shape or faster for the final this year.
I don’t think they’ll be asked to leave as they are still top 3-4 runners in their event for their country.
On the professionalism comment, I think that was definitely more directed at Olli’s previous behaviors and how the other guys responded to it. When he was running well, he bragged all the time about how he was invincible off a bad diet and poor sleep. And Morgan and George used to hype it up.
Morgan unfortunately has been plagued with injure for 2 years and final got it together to run 13:00. Problem is 12:50-12:53 is the new 13:00. He had run 13:15 at 21 years old in 2017 while still in college, before super shoes. He kicked Grant Fisher’s butt nearly every time they lined up.
However, making the final for him would be a good Olympics this year, but his heat is stacked.

Meh. She’s another casualty. She would t even be in the Olympics if it wasn’t for Italy. Not impressed

What? An OAC athlete injured? Would have never imagined. How many does that make now? Ritz’s crew is falling apart. Vissa now another team disappointment
Now the question is does Nuguse’s medal save Ritz or is the implication that with a better coach Nuguse could have been fighting with Hocker. My opinion is that from watching Nuguse workout in videos he has the least desire to show off/ be a workout warrior and that saves him from overtraining.
