After an embarrassing last two years and nothing but disappointment at the highest level, he should retire to subject himself from future bad races. He imploded at Trials last year, and last night was not able to even make it out of the first round. He was great once, but that is in the past.

Man! It's no wonder that the pros stay away from LetsRun. Chasing your dreams should be applauded, not ridiculed. I have no opinion on Brazier, but I wish him the best.

Great post! Have you ever consider retirement for yourself? Your best/most productive years may be well behind you also. Seriously, tell us about your professional self. That way we can judge you in a similar fashion as you do to others. Patiently waiting for your reply.
Ran injured and made it to the big dance. Gotta give it to him for roughing it out. What does it say about the rest of the US 800m athletes who couldn’t beat out Brazier for a spot?

He will come back strongly.
He didn't have to beat anyone for a spot, he got a free pass for being the previous World Champion.
Doubts are starting to mount if he will ever truly get back to 100%. Hopefully this will be his last surgery and then he can get healthy and use 2023 to build back towards peak form for 2024.

I am starting to see why Trayvon Bromell's comeback was so special...posts like these and people like you writing him off. Love to see it.

Amen. Every year the same douchebags crawl out of the mud with gratuitous venom like the OP.
I wish that one of them, just one, would sign their name to it.
Time to move up to the marathon and the roads old lad.
but nah all jokes aside I honestly feel his mental game is weak and his heart ain’t in it. that’s the problem with American social media is you get thrown in the spotlight too soon and lose your hunger. Can’t feed a zoo animal dead prey, they get bored. as Americans we lack the ability to keep these young stars hungry. It’s why I harp on blowing smoke up high school kids.. they don’t need to be THAT good that young, let them mature as adults. and I’ve said in other posts that you can be a slob and still win in most major sports because there’s an element of skill involved. in track and field it’s you, your conditioning, and finally your mind. Not when you’re trying to internationally compete against a kid who grew up in an African village without running water. kids gonna whoop your but 9 times out of ten. Brazier is a victim of the spotlight, not the first and definitely not the last.
