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, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
    • After all, it's one thing to dislike someone, even to destroy something (if it remains a rumor, which it usually is), and quite another to steal money... In the Italian national team there was the Wierer vs. Vittozzi conflict, in the polish team in Sochi 2014 there were accusations of various strange things: destroying a skies, rifle, etc., but theft is a serious crime, not just some rumors.
    • Stalin got Karelian Peninsula and Viborg and that was enough. Land invasion from Finland made no sense 60 yrs ago and makes even less sense in 2020s.   Finland isn't that important strategically even when it comes to Baltic Sea. U need to control Danish straits to control the Baltic. Warsaw Pact had an invasion plan of Denmark for this one reason.    Likewise Mediterranean Sea was no priority for Stalin. SU wasn't a naval power back in the day.
    • Exactly. It's not just Simon and her theft, there are other issues as well.
    • By the way, I did not follow the action, but there was another accident. "Jeanne Richard damaged her teammate Oceane Michelon's rifle. She was caught red-handed by Justine Braisaz-Bouchet." I do not know, if it was resolved somehow.
    • If Jeanmonnot and Brasaiz are against Simon, perhaps they should have dropped Simon to improve the team spirit. Especially since there was the possibility of dropping Simon for her bad behavior. One thing is conflicts like the Vittozzi-Wierer on Italy NT some times ago, but money theft within the team is quite another. Simon clearly has a serious problem with himself.
    • Let's not act as if this is a thing for this season. If it didn't result in performance drama last season, it shouldn't now.
    • Organization is excellent , except weather 
    • Despite everything, Stalin gave up: Finland, Greece, Austria, Yugoslavia (there were no USSR troops there). I don't think Putin would have given up on these countries, because even Stalin was more rational than he is. The Communist Party even limited Stalin, Brezhnev etc., who had to take its opinion into account, and Putin is like some old tsar who does 100% of what he wants and the all of the country just applauds him.
    • Russia and Soviet Union follow that tactics for many decades, Stalin became a huge WWII winner because of that. NATO can't really afford a war of attrition or any open war against above par army right now. And Putin knows that. At least the nonsense about nuclear bombs is over. That threat was never going to materialise since Ukraine isn't that important to be casus belli for WWIII.
