Why would you use the word “presciently?” It is redundant here. It indicates having foresight or knowledge of things before they occur so it performs a duplicative and unnecessary role. Again you have no humor.
It was a terrific joke - for someone without wit. An even better joke was your last comment. But you presciently foresee your own future.

From someone who shows there he takes himself very seriously. I can see why no one gets your "humor".

With the 2024 Olympics in Paris on the horizon, the track and field world is buzzing with anticipation. And one athlete who could make a big splash at the Games is none other than Matt Centrowitz.
The 32-year-old American middle-distance runner has been a consistent force in the sport for over a decade, with an Olympic gold medal and a slew of national titles to his name. But why do I think Centro has what it takes to make another run at Olympic glory in Paris? First of all, there's the US Olympic Trials, which will take place in June 2024. The Trials are notoriously tough, with only the top three finishers in each event earning a spot on the Olympic team. But Centro has a proven track record at the Trials, having won the 1500m in both 2012 and 2016. He knows what it takes to perform under pressure and come out on top when it matters most.
But it's not just Centro's Trials experience that makes him a strong contender for the 2024 Olympics. He's also shown a remarkable ability to stay at the top of his game despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks over the years. Injuries and illness have forced him to miss significant chunks of training and competition time, but he's always bounced back and returned to top form.
Furthermore, Centro has been racing smart in recent years, using his experience and savvy to put himself in a position to win races. He's known for his tactical racing style, and he's become adept at reading the pace of a race and making his move at just the right moment. Assuming he stays healthy and injury-free, there's no reason why Matt Centrowitz can't make the US Olympic team and then go on to medal in Paris in 2024. He has the experience, the talent, and the mental toughness to make it happen.
Of course, he'll have some stiff competition from other talented middle-distance runners in the US and around the world. But if there's one thing we've learned about Matt Centrowitz over the years, it's that he's not one to back down from a challenge. So mark my words: Centro will win the US Olympic Trials and then go on to medal at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. You heard it here first!
Dang bro, what are you taking? Centro's loads?
Good runner overall don't get me wrong. But, Centro can't even break 4 for the mile lol. Mans wouldn't make the 5000, 10,000 or Marathon team.
The 1500/mile is a young man’s race. Look at the US championships, all of the guys 29 and older were at the bottom. Except in rare cases, if you haven’t moved up to longer distances as a 29+ male, you are going to be running slower 1500/mile times than you did at younger ages. For whatever reason, the drop off gets worse for runners that were stellar in high school-early maturation? It seems like running heats and semis also accentuates this problem for older runners. I also feel like this same problem shows up for women in the 800 and at an older age than men for the 1500.

He went wire to wire and won Olympic gold. Like Herm Edwards said, “you play to win the game” and Centro won on the biggest stage in track.
My dad literally ran faster than Centro’s winning time back in the 60s but guess what - he didn’t even make the Olympics, let alone medal/win. thousands(?) of people can say the same thing. But you know what no other living American can say besides Centro? “I won Olympic gold in the 1500.” Pretty cool - he ran a great race.
No one is disputing Centro won. But what you are effectively saying is that the result is what made it a great race. A great race needs more than that. I doubt anyone other than a Centro fan thought much of it as an Olympic final. I personally slept for the first 3 laps - and saw an inferior 400m final in the last lap.
Would you agree that it's one of the greatest accomplishments by a US miler? Every single world class track athlete in the world lives their life in 4 year cycles with the primary intent of winning Olympic gold (if they're even lucky enough to be a contender). It's called being a competitor, and it's the reason why you train to win in any circumstance the race throws at you, not just for time trials. He did that against one of the greatest fields of all time.
