A sick joke. Doesn't he even have to run the qualifying standard?

He hasn't raced since Doha in 2019. In fact, other than Doha he's raced 3 times in the last 5 years. Yet we know he's going to show up and at least medal after doing virtually nothing but sticking EPO needles into his arm for half-a-decade. And everybody here will be declaring him the GOAT.

Who is declaring him the GOAT? If he medals - which I doubt - he must be ranked very high, but not close to GOAT. Anyone who ever medaled at three games in the 8 or 15?

It was very bad for him with the bags and items found for the french training center.

Nice to see Miller-Uibo doing the double 200 and 400. Think she is a strong threat for two medals and one them being almost certainly a gold.

the americans have a better chance at a medal tbh. hes 33 and def washed up at this point.

I mean I don’t think anybody wants to see Makh Daddy or Souleiman in contention this year. Not good for the sport to disappear for 2 years and show up randomly in medal form.

Soufiane EL bakkali from morocco will run 3000mst and 1500m

It's fun to check things out on this website. You can link to seasonal performance info, PRs, etc. as before. Looks like they have reformatted things a bit.

I just found that Ivet Lalova-Collio is listed for 200m. I thought that she had retired but she's been competing this year.

Darya Klishina is listed for the long jump for ANA. I saw that she had recently competed in an ATL meet in Marietta, GA.

Anna Chicherova, who has completed her drugs ban, was not listed with ANA for the high jump.

Mexico has Jesus Tonatiu Lopez in the 800m. He's been improving all year and is down to 1:43.44 now.

Any explanation as to why Ben True is listed as the third American in the 10k with Joe Klecker nowhere to be found?

Klecker is there under ‘k’

he raced 6 times in 2019 alone (outside doha) I'm afraid. please do your reasearch

I see Gebrhiwet listed in both the 5000m and 10000m - he was 4th in the 10000m at the Ethiopian OTs and didn't run the 5000 there. Is he the alternate in both, probably not guaranteed a spot to run unless one of the first three in either event from Ethiopia pulls out?

Side note - if that is the case, kind of sad that he, nor Edris, nor Telahun Bekele (who has been in AWFUL form this season) will likely be running at the Olympics, especially after the 7:30 by Edris the other week.

Which was the only year he has ran in the last 5 years, and 3 of those races were 800m. Please stop confirming that African immigrants bring their corruption culture with them to Europe.
