It’s kind of forgotten, but when an international athlete changes country then the birth country has the right to insist on a four-year embargo from World & Olympic Championships*. Nobody ever bothers with it anymore - except . *But not DL etc. Possibly Europeans, I don’t know. These are the latest rules from World Athletics (updated in 2019) Alternatively, an athlete may represent another Member with the approval of World Athletics, which approval shall be conditional upon: a. the athlete observing a waiting period of three years from the date that the application for approval is made to World Athletics (during which period the athlete must not represent any other Member in National Representative Competition or compete in any Other Relevant Competition); and b. the athlete demonstrating that as at the end of the waiting period: i they are or will be aged twenty or over; and ii they are or will be a Citizen of the Country or of the parent Country of the Territory which the Member represents; and iii they are or will have a genuine, close, credible and established link to that Country or Territory (e.g., through Residence there).

Did not realise they had also abolished the birth nation rule though - as I say Cuba were the only Federation that had used it in about the last 15 years.

I think people from most countries can watch on YouTube. I definitely can ... (in Germany) Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
