British coach Lloyd Cowan has died at age 58.  Coached many good British athletes, but best-known for working with World & Olympic 400m Champion Christine Ohuruogu.

First high quality televised Indoor Meet of the year coming up this weekend - the Vanderbilt University Commodore Indoor.  Featuring teams from several of the best American Universities.  Usually good international representation.  Over two days, Friday & Saturday European time.  Expect many World’s Best marks!

Brianna McNeal, Olympic 100m hurdles champion, could face eight-year ban
Charge is for ‘tampering with the results management process’

I am willing to bet many internet points on him changing allegiance to France before Paris 2024. :p

Can't happen unless he misses Tokyo 2021.

Because of the postponement the three years out of competition he needs to serve won't be finished until after the entries close for Paris

Not as good as the GOAT From the Depths of Hell Race though.

    • Yes, she was unlucky, but it could just as easily have happened during some training, like with Gut, etc. Brignone has been essentially injury-free throughout her long career, which is very rare in this sport. It's unfortunate that this happened after her best season ever and just 1 year before the Olympic Games in home, when she just missing of win the Olympic gold medal in her great career. With the gold in Cortina, she would have become a legend of Italian skiing, on par with Tomba. Now she's still the best Italian woman in history, but the miss of Olympic gold will likely haunt her for the rest of her life. 
    • It sad to see this season, as I remember, that Fede last year was winning everywhere, when she competed and finished and now we haven't even managed a single podium in the giant slalom, and it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. Without Fede and Bassino, unfortunately, we're out of good cards in this event. For me Goggia should probably skip the giant slalom at all, becouse she has no chance of a podium and she risks further injuries. If even Goggia finish 8th or 10th? What difference does it make? If she couldn't get a podium finish today with so many DNFs at the top skiers, she probably never do. Della Mea is OK this year, but let's be honest, she's not World Cup podium material. Overall, it's a sad picture, and we have a 0% chance of anything in Cortina unless a miracle happens in Brignone return.   We have two chances for Goggia in DH and SG + maybe a dark horse in Pirovano/Curtoni in SG. That's all. In technical events, we have a 0% chance for medal and that's sad. Our federation also lost Colturi in this situation... In any normal country, the head of such a federation should be dismissed for disciplinary reasons and this case should be investigated by the minister, or even the prime minister, but not in Italy...
    • Mikaela Shiffrin  off the podium today (Edit: Oops...I thought this was slalom, not Giant Slalom.).  Nina Astner  entered the 2nd run in 30th place, but had the best second run, jumping up 18 places to 12th.
