Is Merlene Ottey still trucking? Last I saw her she was still running relays for Slovenia or one of those
Think there is a fairly chaotic family background to it alright

Ya I’ve seen him interviewed and he spoke of how running was his escape from that world, so maybe he was just caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hopefully it works out OK for him as he seems like a nice guy.

That was a sensational finish by the young lady from Namibia to finish second. Some talent.
Thompson-Herah is unbelievable.
The rules that allow the Namibian lady run 200m but not 400m are complex

Thompson-Herah absolutely dominated that, serious run.

High testosterone levels, her and her compatriot. I posted an article a bit further back, I’ll bump it.
Fraser Price and Hera Thompson absolutely hate each other. Not hard see either, those hugs are glacial.

World Athletics introduced rules on naturally occurring testosterone in women athletes. If you go over a certain level then you can’t race. But they only apply the rules to 400m to one mile distances. Not sure on the science behind it but it’s supposed to be science based - I think rules were introduced to deal with Caster Semenya type issues where athletes were intersex - she was 800m runner.
The two Namibian athletes have testosterone levels that meant they were not allowed to run the 400m
