Bobby Kersee just confirmed that Sydney is scheduled to run the 400H in Atlanta next week.
Whether Sydney actually runs is anyone's guess.
Hey, at least she IS competing this season and she is looking good doing it. She's in great form now. If she can hold that form through Paris a new WR in the 400h is within reach. As much as I like Bol, she doesn't have a chance this season.
Steiner actually looked better than I thought she would at the LA Grand Prix. She is coming back slowly and that is good. If not she would risk injury. Thomas will also be back. Those two will be the best over 200 for the US. As much as Syd would be competitive, the 200 was run as part of her training. She is probably 21 high, meaning 21.9ish, at her best. Thomas and Steiner should both be 21.6x to 21.8x at their top.

I, for one, would be very interested to see her focus on the 400m this year and mix it up with the current crop of 400m runners. The 400mH is basically a safe bet with only one serious challenger and Sydney is basically guaranteed to get 2nd at worst. In the flat 400m, she could finish outside of the medals. But I think we all know that is too big of a risk for her brand.

I don't see that happening, meaning finishing outside of the medals in the 400. If she were to run the 400, she would be the best in the world. Paulino would be her biggest competition and, ironically, her other biggest competitor would be Bol, if she would choose to run the 400. If the Olympic schedule were conducive to a 400/400h double, Syd would win both.

Miller-Uibo is coming back after having a kid last year, Salwa Eid Naser is coming back from her doping ban, athletes like Sada Williams, Britton Wilson, and Adeleke could drop under 49 seconds. Plus all the NCAA athletes that could roll their momentum into the Olympics. There is way more competition than basically being guaranteed to win the 400mH by a second.
I get the joke but it's old. Find some new stuff. Thomas was cleared, no?
One of the whereabouts was cleared, but what about the other 2? TBH if you miss one that's shady, but missing two is a guarantee that either you are up to no good.
