Mix would best hope of any good result. So I doubt they try for the men

Why wouldn’t they try both?

 

Its not always about good results at the Olympics, qualification is also HUGE.

I hope you’re wrong lol

[Surlympics 1,197]

No men’s either he just confirmed

Gabriella DeBues-Stafford is switching her focus from the women’s 1500m to the 5000m for the remainder of the Olympic qualification period. Smart move but I still don’t think she’ll qualify for Paris.

This is a post about our U20 athletics team for worlds. AC has stricter standards for some events (slightly).

 

Men:

100m: 0. We have 3 men surpassing the WA standard (10.55) but none who have passed AC (10.50)

200m: 0. 1 athlete meets WA standard but not AC's. 

400m: 0. 1 athlete meets WA standard but not AC's. 

800m: 2.

1500m: 1

3000m: 0

5000m: 0

3000m sc: 0

RW: 0

110mh: 0. 1 athlete meets WA standard but not AC's. 

400mh: 0

Field events/Decathlon: ZERO, none even close to the standard

 

So we have only 3 male athletes qualified so far. Alarming? Perhaps, or is it too early in the season?

 

Women:

100m: 2. 4 women have surpassed the WA standard, 3 AC's. Shout out to 16 year old Jorai OPPONG-NKETIAH with a 11.51 (the wind was a 2.0 however)

200m: 2. 6 women have surpassed WA and 3 AC's. One has also qualified in the 100

400m: 0

800m: 0. 1 athlete meets WA standard but not AC's. 

1500m: 2

3000m: 2: 1 athlete also qualifies in the 1500

5000m: 0

3000m sc: 0

RW: 0

100mh: 0

400mh: 0: 1 athlete meets WA standard but not AC's. 

HJ: 2

PV: 0

TJ: 1

SP/DT: 1 (Julia Tunks)

HT: 0
