I don't think is a disadvantage at all. Laying low at home and avoiding all the typical young adult BS is exactly what you need if you're training hard. The US has not had anything close to the strict lockdowns that were imposed in Australia, Italy, etc. Even in NYC this spring when they were putting bodies in refrigerated tractor trailers you were still able to exercise outdoors. In many ways it's been a boon for professional athletes. I'm not sure why more Americans didn't take advantage of the European opportunities like Julian's group did.

These guys are in Olympic trials shape. 4-years of fitness and they have to try to stretch it to 5. Good luck fellas, I'll be rooting for ya'll.

What disadvantages? You can train just as well if not better in 2020 than any other year.

Possible disadvantages included travel restrictions, social barriers preventing people from meeting family, friends, etc. and the general psychological effects that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on some people creating depression and feelings of despair. Obviously, this has not affected all people but some people have been seriously affected by the general malaise permeating in society because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Only 6 of these sub 28 are Americans:

- Tiernan: Oz

- Atkin: UK

- Cheserek, Kiptoo: Kenya
