Gabby Thomas OUT from Tokyo

true pity for her, and wishing for a fast recovery for her achilles and she will find her way back to shape.

aside from that, low key kind of ironic that it's the 4th and 5th placers from the nailbiter 3rd-5th finish in the Women's 200m who is now ending up going to worlds

That’s very unfortunate. Better to rehabilitate the injury though.
Who is in next?

Brittany Brown got 4th in the trials.

Whereabouts did you get this news? Link?

Whereabouts did she acquire this injury?

Whereabouts did you find this trite & tired line?

Brittany Brown was already going to Worlds because she won the Diamond League final.

'Gabby Thomas whereabOUTs of Tokyo Championship'

Brown won the Diamond League final and secured her entry to Tokyo with that wildcard.

Yes, McKenzie Long is next in line for the U.S. team.

Whereabouts did she pick up this injury?

Another GST victim

This is the first thing that came into my mind. I think a lot of these athletes really underestimated the impact of going from multiple seasons where April/May/June were still exclusively key preparation months for the outdoor season and this season they were having to get in shape to race (especially sprinters who can't just step out on the track and go whenever they want).

Off topic for this thread but the other guy (other than obviously Nuguse who totally fried himself) I think about is Fisher. Is it just me or should Grant Fisher have still been winning events like the US 5/10km and that DL final? Just looks flat the last 6-8 weeks. Maybe just a coincidence.

Certainly a possibility, but she competed in the ATX Sprint Classic in the 100 after Philly and between then and USAs. I’m somewhat baffled by her competing in the 100 at USAs at all while carrying an injury.

That's a lazy take. Look at her spring racing schedule from last year, when she went on to win Olympic gold:

• March 30: ran 3 races (100m, 200m, and 4x100m) at the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays
• April 20: ran the 400m at LSU
• May 4-5: ran 3 relay races at the World Athletics Relays in The Bahamas
• May 18: ran 2 races (the 100m and 200m) at the LA Grand Prix
• June 9: ran 2 races (the 100m and 200m) at the NYC Grand Prix

That's very comparable to her spring racing schedule this year.

A cup of STFU to the above douchebag.
