First things first, it is entirely her own fault and nothing can take that away, but it's only human to not be able to deal with the death of a parent and lose control over yourself in a way that's perfectly fine for a non-athlete, but sadly not for an athlete. One of the few cases in which I can actually feel some sympathy for someone who tested positive (same with a lot of East German and Soviet athletes who were doped/drugged from when they were only teenagers), even though like I said it is of course 100% on her and her punishment is sad, but correct. Expand The one upside is that there will be 4 consecutive global champs after this, including a home worlds for her next year, and Paris only three years away. If she plays it cool, does the Diamond League circuit after the Games, she could make money hand over fist - America loves a 'redemption arc' - and be set fair for superstardom - not least because this is the one 'doping' story where most people who hear it will sympathise with her - indeed, given who her coaching team is, she could hardly have asked for a better story.

If anyone knows of any other cases where athletes were denied spots and replaced by sprinters, please let me know! So far we have Tyrone Smith (long jump) and Gopi Chandra Parki (marathon), but I bet there could be more. In the 100m start lists, eight athletes I found are specialized in other events, according to World Athletics records. Women: (400m/800m), (triple jump), (100m hurdles), (400m hurdles) Men: (5000m/10000m), (1500m), (110m hurdles), (800m/1500m) Expand So WA changed some things around according to this: https://www.worldathletics.org/competitions/olympic-games/the-xxxii-olympic-games-athletics-7132391/athletes?urlSlug=the-xxxii-olympic-games-athletics-7132391&competitionGroup=olympic-games&disciplineCode=&sexCode=&countryCode= is now on men's 800. in women's 1500, in womens 400 hurdles, and in men's 1500, in 110 hurdles. doesn't have a female listed anymore, and is still in 100m. I don't know if any other changes where made. ahjfcshfghb, hckošice and Benolympique 3 Link to comment https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/922-athletics-qualification-to-tokyo-2020-summer-olympic-games/page/181/#findComment-395784 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO universality places shouldn't be included in the World Ranking... hopefully they will fix that for later events.

Makedonas 2,184 Posted July 16, 2021 #1806 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Only 30 women in the javelin throw and not 32? Yu and Ratej missing Why couldn't they add the 33rd and 34th placed girls? Both are Japanese also, so they'll probably be in Japan anyways Also if it's because they didn't withdraw in time, that's really annoying because Ratej is 39 years old and hasn't competed in two years. You didn't have to be a rocket scientist to think that she probably wasn't going to Tokyo Link to comment https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/922-athletics-qualification-to-tokyo-2020-summer-olympic-games/page/181/#findComment-395811 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt a reallocation deadline has passed, especially since athletics starts later. #banbestmen Link to comment https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/922-athletics-qualification-to-tokyo-2020-summer-olympic-games/page/181/#findComment-395828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
