The Olympic trials are over. The dust on the Track and Field in the Philippines, USA, and Jamaica is still settling. All three groups of Athletes are in Training camps fine tuning their skills in an effort to bring their A-Game to the spectacle that is Paris 2024 Olympics.

The Philippines team will focus on gymnastics, boxing, swimming, weight lifting, and Pole vault. There are many events in that mix to get multiple medals.

Paris 2024 Olympics will cover 45 Sports. There will be plenty of events to attend and numerous medals will be issued. There will be no medals for events resulting from an argument, incident, or accident. Fans are encouraged to check Pedigree at the Entrances. In essence, no violence.

USA and JAMAICA will engage in Athletic battle for Track and Field sprinting supremacy. Before Olympic Trials it appeared that USA had an edge in Sprinting. Like the Sand of an hour glass the granules are shifting and Jamaica is cautiously saying just wait a minute USA, not so fast. Let’s set the stage with lights and action.

Base on performances and team selections the following are expectations by Key events, Men and Women.

Men’s 100m – Fans see USA coming away with 2 medals but not necessarily the gold. Winning time should be about 9.65 seconds. Kishane Thompson, Noah Lyles, and Kenny Bednarek should leave with hardware. Oblique Seville could be a factor.

Women’s 100m – Fans see Julien Alfred, Shacarri Richardson, and Zoe Hobbs picking up hardware. Melissa Jefferson, Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce, and Shericka Jackson could be factors. Winning time should be about 10.70 seconds. Julien Alfred is aware that winning can become a habit. There is nothing to fear but fear itself.

Men’s 200m – Fans see “Kung Fu” Kenny winning. The results should include Kenny Bednarek, Noah Lyles, and Bryan Lavelle. Bryan Lavelle is a sportsman pick. If Shanieke can get Bryan Lavelle to clean up his first 100m he might surprise the world. Winning time should be about 19.43 seconds.

Women’s 100m Hurdles – this event could be an Ackera Nugent vs. Masai Russell confrontation. These two STARS are rivals. They have competed multiple times before.

Men’s 110m Hurdles – potentially a 1, 2, 3 finish for Jamaica, Rasheed Broadbell, Hansle Parchment, and Orlando Bennett.

Suffice to say, Mr. Holloway will be a factor and a Force to reckon with. Winning time should be about 12.84 seconds.
