Saw her today at Mt Sac and by the looks of it, she's been book touring more than she has been training. She looks remarkably unfit and not in any condition to take on Bol. There is still time, but she had better get to it or she'll be summarily smoked in Paris. Pretty shocking to see her actually.
Some sources are saying she plans to run 400 flat. I'm surprised by that. At 400 hurdles the only obstacle is Bol. At 400 flat there are several who can potentially go sub 49. Shaunae Miller-Uibo looked great in that relay last week and is simply a bigger taller more athletic runner than Sydney has ever had to deal with.
Bol's height is a detriment at hurdles. Not so for Miller-Uibo on the flats.

How so?
It's not a detriment in the least. She is shorter than Rai Benjamin and he seems to do OK over the sticks. There are some nutty folks around these parts.

Yeah, I thought it was a strange comment considering Bol is 6 feet tall, which is as tall or taller than 99% of human females. I don't think people realize that she's an Amazon!
