Max Burgin won't be competing in the British trials due to a hamstring injury. :(
Sad, as he had a great chance to not only make the team but to possibly even medal.
Thankfully the depth is so strong that we'll still be able to send 3 potential medalists to Tokyo.
The poor kid seems injured more than healthy.
Back to cabbage farming. Guess he didn’t get the crop quite right.

Doped to the g... coevett
British athletics at the moment is more evil than Belarus, morocco, and USA combined. Really sad to see.
I've no idea about the kids training, but each year seems to be a fast early time followed by inactivity due to injury. Would seem either being ultra cautious, which isn't the worst or alternatively his body can't deal with intensity of the work/racing.
That should ring alarm bells to anyone though, you'd hope the coach is all over that.
Bit of a waste if pushing too hard too early means you never get to explore your real potential.
However still very young so hopefully it'ill be addressed properly and he'll have a decent senior career in front of him, rather than joining the graveyard of outstanding juniors never seeing seniors.

He is coached by his father. I don't know about his approach or background.
I don't think he has ever had a fast early time followed by inactivity before 2021. In 2019 and 2020 he started his season quite late (perhaps due to injury), but before that he ran fairly consistently.

Bad karma thanks to you, Coevett.
Remember what you wrote on the Elias Ngeny thread?

How can you not be suspicious of this guy after all the doping busts in Kenya???
Hopefully the three test requirement of Kenyans before Tokyo will mean he either doesn't make the team or he gets busted.
