He’s 19. 

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.

I'm happy to see Erik Kynard on this list.  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.

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.

Even if they have already received their medal, would still be nice to have every medalist on the podium

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.

As I understand it she partially won an appeal on this (on moral culpability, I think), but never came back to the sport.

Does this trigger a ban on Turkish lifters for Paris?

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.
