It simply seems like he is dodging all of the competition that is right here in the USA running indoors right now. why go all the way to Australia? Plenty of fast people here to race if he is so "good."

Centro has regularly gone to Australia for winter training and run 2 or 3 races there. Nothing serious. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Symmonds did the same. He didn't like indoor tracks, so he went to train and race in Australia in winter

Why does the title say planned? Is he not anymore?
I agree. Weirdly confusing. Verb tenses are not a strong suit of this website.

Sounds like a fun way to dodge the indoor competition here and in Europe.
Couldnt care less.
The guy has an Olympic gold medal and he's on the backend of his career. If he wants to go to Australia and race kangaroos more power to him.
Yes, he should. It's amusing to hear the sh1t talking from all the bitter 18 minute 5k runners on this thread.

The Southern Hemisphere is currently in summer season, so it's a way to race outside in good weather during the Northern Hemisphere winter season
He did this in 2018 & now he's going back someplace familiar that has good weather to train in. Why not get in a little bit of traveling at this point in your career?
