One would hope sponsors won't touch him at least for another few years after he comes back, but you never know, there's time indeed. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

In the past, he had expressed some negative feelings about being upgraded. I'm glad to see he will finally accept the gold. Then I wonder why Barshim is not listed as getting silver. I've wanted to see the new 2012 Olympic gold medalist on the podium with the 2016 and 2020 gold medalists joining him. NearPup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that Barshim has already received his silver somewhere else (I haven't checked). I know Robbie Grabarz received his (there was a 3 way tie for bronze originally) in Birmingham in 2022.

NearPup 3,014 Posted May 30 #185 Share Posted May 30 Even if they have already received their medal, would still be nice to have every medalist on the podium Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Failure 355 Posted May 31 #186 Share Posted May 31 Well Robbie should be there as he's coaching Morgan Lake (a near certainty to be picked if fit) and a couple of other British jumpers these days, so let's get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can do - suspension of the NF amd/or fine and/or loss of participation rights Given that one of the positives is a whereabouts, they might just squeeze through with a big fine, but they shouldn't.
