Great news: Bobby Kersee: "I would like to see Sydney compete more, and Sydney wants to compete more.”

"Great news: Bobby Kersee:"

Really? Two sets of colons?

BS

Bobby Kersee: "I would like to see Sydney compete more, and Sydney wants to compete more.”

I liked that Sydney did this video with GQ. She has a personality and I think there IS going to be a push by her to get more out there, much as it seemed she wanted to be anonymous the last couple years. That includes racing, and I think she will be doing enough Diamond Leagues to get in the Final this year.

Syd has always been entertaining in social media, and you would be shocked to see her goof with little kids at meets. It's the serious adult part of media and admin she dislikes. You may remember, she was already battling with stress and nerves at the Rio Olympics. I hope she has a great year.

Tooth Ugg Eels!!!

Has he ever coached a clean athlete?

Don’t go too deep. It’ll ruffle feathers .

Gotta protect the “ sweetheart”…

McLaughlin won't compete in a non-US Diamond League meet because then USATF couldn't protect her from WADA drug testing.

It's as sad as telling that people like Kersee are still coaching here, and that our star athletes want to be part of it.

With the DL Final in Eugene, I'm sure Syd intends to be there, hopefully doing the double--or triple (LJ)!

Hi All, we represent the LA Meet Organizing Committee and can share that both national and international interest in event from athletes is very high.

We will share the final list of disciplines here (and elsewhere pretty soon) with official status of entries info once we are a little closer to the meet (we're still 4+ months out).

interesting…now I’m really curious how many times we should expect sydney and athing to compete each year going fwd…

Based loosely on Bobby's comments in the articles, I'd think we'd see them at least once a month in the March/April-September to October window, so that's about 7 times, plus a tune up race here or there and one late in the year? I'd bet on something like 8 or 9 times, with about half of that (4-5) in their primary discipline (400h/800) and the balance in new events. This is conjecture, of course, but his comments are pretty clear about racing more and trying different events. This does seem like good news.

LAGP hopefully will be the biggest payday of the year 2023 for Athing, Norman, Sydney, Gianna, Prandini, Keni, Cherry, and many dozens of current T&F Olympians in the local area.

Which elites train in Los Angeles, beyond the Kersee Super Team?
