We never got to see...
George Simpson....Frank Wykoff....Ralph Metcalfe....Eddie Tolan
At the 32 Olympics because we brought in a team to just run the 4x1 (Wykoff on it), yep....gold
Jesse Owens....Eulace Peacock....Ben Johnson....Ralph Metcalfe
At the1936 Olympics, won anyway. Both Peacovk, Johnson injured.
No Hal Davis, Mozelle Ellerbe (first HBCUer of merit) in the 40;s because of the war.
Never got to see Art Bragg and Jim Golliday at all, both injured in the 50's.
No Dave Sime AND Bobby Morrow on a 4x1 because of injury.
I guess injuries to Mel Pender and Trenton Jackson a blessing in disquise, if they had been there in 64 we probably don't get to witness that 8.6 Bullet Bob had to put down playing catch up.
Would love to has seen....
Charlie Greene,,,,John Carlos...Jimmy Hines....Tommie Smith in 68
Smith running Hines down on an anchor legs\ pre Olympics.
I do expect to see this gang at the Worlds.
Christian Coleman...Trayvon Bromell...Kenny Bednarek....Noah Lyles
