Strange behaviour from superstar Sydney McLaughlin.  She will run in Budapest tonight, but not Monaco on Wednesday.  And that will be the end of her season.

Someone said that Budapest is known to be generous.  Probably also private jet & other advantages.

365 days to go until Budapest 2023, they revealed the logo today.

Kind of a retro 1949 feel, don’t you think?  Wheat! Busty muscly ladies!  OK, no iron foundry or big moustache, but still.

The entry standards are absurd especially in the sprint races. What is WA thinking? They want to get rid of all the minnows from World Championships? Only the rich & famous can compete?
