I'm always amazed how completely mental some of the biggest athletes become.

 

Some grind and struggle 4-5 additional years just to compete at one more OG, while others just drop everything a few months before the Olympics, while still even on top.

I am expecting a lot of MP athletes will retire after introducing the Obstacles ..not all athletes can adapt with the new sport.

Story about that here, by coincidence.  Most of Team GB including Joe Choong are knuckling down.

Looking at Team GB opportunities after adding Obstacles I would say it's very rarely to find Jo, Myles, Charles, Kerenza or Olivia compete in a very high level. I like Jo's personality, I met him once before COVID in Bath University and his enthusiasm for winning was very obvious (he made the Gold later in Tokyo).

 

maybe we have a girl in U 19 who finished 4th in the last U19 WCh (Zoe Spokes). But no shining names in men event.

 

on the other hand, my other Country :EGY are very focused (since 2021) to introduce obstacles to their team members, I am in doubt if El-Gendy can be the top athlete but we have 4-5 athletes in both men and women who can easily be on the podium in LA 2028 including El-Gendy junior.

    • With a week to go till the deadline for the world invitational,the rosters look beefy for the discus on both sides.24 entries for the men[19 accepted in so far] and 25 for the women[18 accepted so far] For the men so far there are three 70 meter throwers[i count Denny as that since it's just 4 centimeters off his pb]10 from mid 66 to low 69,three of 65 and over,four from almost 64 to almost 65.On the women's side the 18 accepted throwers all have a pb of over 60 meters.11 of them have  pbs over 64 plus.of the ones still not there besides Valerie and Yaime who have been marketed so i can only assume they will join,such names as  Sandra Elkasevic,Bin Feng,and jordine van klinken aren't signed up yet,jordine's probably the most likely of them to join in tough feng would be a cool surprise,i somehow don't see Sandra doing this,but it would be awesome if she did.Stahl and ceh aren't in yet on the men's side,ceh has been marketed while stahl hasn't been mentioned at all,[pretty sure stahl will not be there],Lukas[last name is too wild for me to even try] and lawrence okoye aren't there yet either but i'm betting both will be joining in.
    • What a shame. That would have been amazing.
    • It's complete American domination in the women's discus rankings so far this year,they occupy the top 4 slots,and the WORST result of those four was achieved at Ramona .Third place currently belongs to Ciera Jackson who had a huge almost 4 METER pr at the west coast relays on friday-64.42[previous best was 60.77 from march of 2023,and she opened her season a week ago with at that time her second best result ever of 60.14]she also had a 63.66 throw to back this new pb up,and finally with her new personal best she took down the school record that stood for 36 YEARS[Btw Valerie Allman actually competed in Ramona on march 30th but conditions were apparently far from ideal and she fouled four times and her best was a 63.61,i don't doubt that in the event that she competes in the  world intational,the conditions will be perfect,i wouldn't be so bold as to say she wouldl get the world record but for sure i think she could get a new personal best.
