I don't mind this for a few reasons:
a) The promotion of this meet was abysmal, the startlists are not even out and it's in 2 days. Were they really relying on mentioning Richardson, Jackson, Coleman, etc. alone as promo? I'd rather she take her talents to a meet that takes itself and the sport seriously.
b) Not opening at Miramar drives up her appearance fee for Xiamen DL, where she will open in the 200m. Good for her.
c) We'd be likely to see another windy 10.5/6 which at this point she doesn't need to do, given this will be her first Olympics (assuming she makes the team) her schedule is likely to be a bit smarter/strategic this year.
d) Her and Jackson were likely not going to be racing in the same event there anyway, so nothing is lost.
Was Richardson scheduled to run as in it was announced that she would or is LetsRun's headline writer once again inept?
Lame. Not everything has to be about money, unless one is venal and small-minded.
Test yourself. You will find out if you’re great, or if you have work to do. You don’t have to go all-out, you can hold back and test. Like Jackson.
Lame.
She can find that out in front of a bigger crowd and more viewers worldwide at a promoted meet against better athletes in only 2 weeks from now. Hope this helps

Are Asics, Saucony, and New Balance envious of Brooks, Hoka ,and On?
