Didn’t see a thread but didn’t look too hard. Plantar Fasciitis is a b*tch.

That's a shame
Mo Farah not there either
Has Jama Aden anyone else going?
What's going on here with these East African superstars getting injured so close to the Worlds? ?

Drug testing and doorbells
She was noticeably limping the last 100 of the 1500 in Zurich

Yeah it was really pronounced and people were speculating about her status.
Rumor has it she aggravated the injury running out the back door when WADA came knocking in search of her urine.
I believe nothing I hear coming from these athletes, coaches, or training groups.
NOTHING.
Runners pushing themselves to the limit will suffer injuries usually. Once injured, training is difficult. One would think mixing in a few days swimming in the pool per month, not water jogging may prevent some injuries. Problem: most runners cannot swim several thousand yards or swim several thousand meters a day.
Can’t feel too sad about this considering it’s a known doper
Has she been training in carbon plate shoes?

I have no idea what she trains in, but I doubt she does a LOT of work in the Vaporfly or Fly if that’s what you mean by carbon plates.
“Carbon plates” have been around forever in spikes.
FWIW plantar issues have always arisen more from cushioned shoes than stiff or more minimal ones in my experience.

Dibaba hasn't run well all season what are you talking about. It's not close to worlds she's simply announced it now. She has been injured all season, got demolished in the DL and was visibly limping in one race.
Idiots who don't actually follow the sport make stories up to fill their lack of knowledge.

That is also my experience.
So, World's without:
Dibaba
Semenya
Wambui
Niyonsaba
Ayana?
Coleman (almost)
Gatlin?
Farah?
OTOH...Makhloufi! Returns from the grave!

FF conspiracy sake.
Well you listed biological dopers and track retired (WMM-committed; 60:XX fit) Farah but no speculation about Amos or James’ aberrant behavior, so ... neat and thorough.

Maybe the case, but she's still a known, unrepentant doper so good riddance. Hopefully keeps her out of Tokyo too.
Great news!
With all these dopers out and men in women’s event out, this is going to be a good World Champs.

Are you talking about yourself when you say an idiot? She ran well in the early part of the outdoor season and has only recently done poorly, still beating many of the women who will be at worlds after getting 4th at Zurich. Perhaps you should try filling your own knowledge.
