QUALIFYING STANDARDS – OLYMPIC GAMES

Stars and Competitors need to be cognizant of time, distance, and height associated with eligibility to participate in each event at the Olympics. No Athlete capable of running the women’s 100m in 10.47seconds should compete with someone who can barely run the distance in 12.47 seconds. Get real will you? Here are the Qualifying Standards by Event.

Paris Olympics 2024 is almost ready to welcome all. Whether you are a Track and Field fanatic or not; Flights, Hotel, Events Tickets, Seats, and plans for post event activities are completed. All Athletes planning to participate at the Paris Olympics July 26 to August 11, 2024, are aware that Fans consider them capable to step on the podium. Athletes are working extremely hard and by June 2024 some will declare that competing is not the operative, winning in Paris is. If you are not near your best Time, Distance, or Height in June, you will be challenged in the Paris Olympics.

Shacari Richardson, Elaine Thompson Herah, Shericka Jackson, Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce, Julien Alfred, Marie Jose Talou, Gabby Thomas, Danielle Williams, Jasmine Camacho Quinn, EJ Obiena, Devynne Charlton, Anthonique Strachan, Zoe Hobbs, Nigel Ellis, and Antonio Watson has one thought in mind, and that is winning.

The camps are quiet. Not much news about the Big Three. The big 3 as in Elaine Thompson – Herah, Shericka Jackson, and Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce. Feels like people are in recovery except no significant races have been run. There has been competition but none with any notable fan fare. To date here are the Athletes that made the cut.

Track and Field Season 2024 is the year of the presumptive Triple Double in Women 100m and 200m at the Olympics. Avid Track Fans believe 2024 is the only year in History for that spectacular occurrence. One exceptional Athlete is two thirds there. Let your imagination run wild. You might have the experience.

Some athletes had an off year in 2023 but with fortitude, they bounced back and salvaged their season. Fans are happy to see that Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH) through belief and resilience is presumed prepared for the 2024 season. She should have a 2024 season equivalent to 2021. Expectations are that she will join the 200m chase to break the world record of 21.34 seconds. With some effort, ETH can break the 100m world record of 10.49 seconds. Her performance should produce a time of 10.47 seconds. Track Fans cannot imagine Shacari Richardson or Shericka Jackson running the 100m event faster than 10.65 seconds.

Fans are expecting performances in the Women 200m event to be above the Elaine Thompson Herah line of 21.53 seconds. Athletes, whose 200m performance is slower than 22.00 seconds, should consider participating in another event. Fans are anticipating the Olympic winning time in Paris to be 21.24 seconds. These two Stars – Shericka Jackson and Elaine Thompson Herah are planning to assault the current 200m record of 21.34 seconds. Believe it or not.

Regardless of rumors about Achilles problem, Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH) should return to Track shape. The Queen of Women Sprinting is moving forward with her preparation for Paris 2024. MVP Track Club is not a need or of value in the way forward for Elaine Thompson Herah. Elaine Thompson Herah will be fine. In 2024, she will acknowledge that she has an opportunity to accomplish something that has never been done and no chance of being repeated. She will have a chance to complete a Triple Double of the 100m and 200m at the Olympics. She will have an opportunity to add some granite to her already cemented Track and Field career. Her Legacy, despite a sub-par 2023 season will be forever known.

Women 200m event has become the Shericka Jackson Invitational. Gabby Thomas has significant work to do.  Shacari Richardson is unlikely to contend for the Gold medal in the 200m. When ETH returns in 2024 the excitement level will rise in this event.  Do not be surprised if Shericka Jackson is challenged. Hold on to your hat if you need it for Church Services. When those Stars come around the bend at Paris 2024, remove or lose your hat.

Women 100m Hurdles will be the Blue Ribbon event at Paris 2024. The competition will be fierce.  The field will be talented. On any given day, any of the participants can win that event. The margin for error is low. Whoever clears the 3rd Hurdle first will have the best chance of winning the event.

Women 400m Flat will be competitive. Mari Leidy Paulino appears to be ahead of the competition. The question now is can she run faster than 47.60 seconds and can she deal with the pressure. When Sydney McLaughlinSalwa Eid Naser, Gabby Thomas, and Shaunae Miller- Uibo are ready to perform, it would be interesting to witness performances and result. However, Mari Leidy Paulino will be a Factor

Stars know that getting home for Dinner quickly is the key to securing a Gold Medal. The Tail Gate Party continues

TRACK AND FIELD FEBRUARY- 2024

February 2024 is the month for Athletes to discard the rust from inactivity, since the end of Season 2023. It is time to prepare the mind and body to compete in Olympics 2024. If the medal you received in 2023 is of the Bronze hue, then it is time to psyche yourself to obtain a prettier medal. If you did not get a medal in Season 2023, then re-focus in training and start all over.

All Athletes planning to participate at the Olympics July 26 to August 11, 2024, should know that Fans consider them capable on their best day, to step up to the podium. However, said Athlete must believe in him/ herself. I anticipate that by March at least one Male and one Female Athlete will declare that they are going to Paris to win.

These Athletes: Shacari Richardson, Elaine Thompson Herah, Shericka Jackson, Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce, Julien Alfred, Marie Jose Talou, Gabby Thomas, Danielle Williams, EJ Obiena, Devynne Charlton, and Antonio Watson has one thought in mind, and that is winning.

Gabby Thomas will focus on the 200m, 4X100m Relay, and 4X400m Relay events. The 100m is not her event. She is stronger in distances greater than 100m. There is still hope that she will consider the 400m for Paris.

Fans believe that by Olympics 2024, Gabby Thomas 200m time should be about 21.5 seconds. That time might secure a position on the Podium. Women 200m Finals in Paris will be exciting. Sub 22.0 seconds will be required to get into the Final. Women 400m Finals in Paris will require Sub 49.0 seconds to get into the Final.

Julien Alfred could be ahead of schedule. Her recent 60m performance was impressive. However, the 100m is a different race. Regardless Julien Alfred is sending a message that she will be one to reckon with in 2024.

Devynne Charlton, appears to have memories of the women 100m Hurdles Final in Budapest. She is running like someone on a mission. Clearly to be on a mission is an admirable attribute but we will see what happens outdoors. That event is stacked with Talent from Lane 1 to Lane 9. Yes there will be nine persons in the 100m Hurdles Final.

Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce is expected to be competitive in the 100m and might get a Silver or Bronze medal in the event. Fans do not believe Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce will be a Factor in the Women 200m in Paris 2024 but strange things happen in Track and Field. She will be an asset in the 4X100m Relay.

Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce announced that Track and Field Season 2024 will be her last. She came, saw, and conquered. She performed victoriously, hugged competitors, shook hands, and prepared for more challenges. Despite apparent dominance, she remained respectful and conducted herself as a class citizen of the world Athletic Community.

Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce burst on the scene in 2008. Since 2008 to 2024, regardless of what happens later this year, Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce performed at an extremely high level, displaying her talents and making the Island Nation Proud. Now that the end is approaching for Shelly Ann, let us reflect and give thanks to God that we witnessed many wonderful Athletic performances by her.

Parting is such sweet sorrow but as fans of Shelly Ann, we should feel no sorrow as she leave the performing stage. She gave us many thrills between 2008 and 2023. Let us all commemorate her incomparable achievement accordingly.

There is Excitement and Entertainment in Track and Field. Going forward in the 100m and 200m events, Stars will have no time to keep anything in Reserve in the 200m, they will leave it all on the Track. The moment a competitor’s feet is off Blocks, Stars will BOOGIE. Stars should remember to treat competitors with respect. The competitive conduct in Track is “Good morning”, “Good afternoon”, and “Good Night” – Meet me at the Tape.

Stars know that getting home for Dinner early is the key to securing a Gold Medal. The Tail Gate Party continues

GOLD SILVER BRONZE – 2024

Year 2024 could be the year that Track and Field Athletes have two Christmas. There is nothing wrong with having two Nativity scenes. The price of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh will triple in 2024 from all the hype associated with the Paris Olympics. However, this cast of characters Shacari Richardson, Elaine Thompson Herah, Shericka Jackson, Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce, Julien Alfred, Marie Jose Talou, EJ Obiena, and Antonio Watson will be rewarded with Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals.  

Despite being lost in the Paris 2024 excitement, where are the men? Sources say with so much excitement that Usain Bolt might consider coming out of Retirement. Can Antonio Watson run a sub 44.00 seconds? Expectations are that multiple Jamaicans might deliver in this event, at Paris 2024. Those who have been asking Glen Mills for 400m Stars see Antonio Watson victory as Redemption for Glen Mills -“One Bob”. Men 400m will be a thriller in Paris. A better script could not have been written, to highlight the Budapest campaign. Performances were at an all time high in Budapest.

The Jamaican male Track and Field squad will have a challenge at Paris 2024 Olympics. However, there is nothing to fear but fear itself. There is nothing to do but do it. If necessary, start all over

EJ Obiena of the Philippines is on pace to get the Gold medal in Paris 2024. Men pole Vault is an exciting event. The Philippines is preparing for another magnanimous Olympic moment. All hope that EJ Obiena will succeed in his Quest for Gold in 2024.

Track and Field Season 2024 is the year of the presumptive Triple Double in Women 100m and 200m at the Olympics. Astute Track Fans believe 2024 is the only year in History for that spectacular occurrence. One exceptional Athlete is two thirds there. Fans would like to experience that accomplishment. Omg, where is Merlene Ottey. She would definitely add some fire to the competition. Someone should send her an invitation.

Expectations are Elaine Thompson – Herah will join the 200m chase to break the world record of 21.34 seconds. With some effort, ETH can break the 100m world record of 10.49 seconds. Her performance should produce a time of 10.47 seconds. Fans are expecting performances in the Women 200m event to be better than 21.53 seconds. Athletes, whose 200m performance is slower than 22.00 seconds, should consider participating in another event. Fans are anticipating the winning time in Paris to be 21.24 seconds. Two Stars, Shericka Jackson, and Elaine Thompson Herah are planning to assault the current 200m record of 21.34 seconds.

Elaine Thompson Herah will be fine. In 2024, she will realize that she has an opportunity to accomplish something that has never been done and no chance of being repeated. She will have a chance to complete a Triple Double in the 100m and 200m at the Olympics. She will have an opportunity to add some granite to her already cemented Track and Field career. Her Legacy, despite a Sub-Par 2023 season is etched in the annals of Olympic History.

Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce is expected to be competitive in the 100m and might get a Silver or Bronze medal in the event. Fans do not believe Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce will be a Factor in the Women 200m in Paris 2024 but strange things happen in Track and Field. She will be an excellent asset in the 4X100m Relay.

Shericka Jackson has taken ownership of the Women 200m event. The event has become the Shericka Jackson Invitational. Gabby Thomas has significant work to doShacari Richardson is unlikely to contend for the Gold medal in the 200m. In 2024 Elaine Thompson – Herah (ETH) will raise the excitement level in this event.  Do not be surprised if Shericka Jackson is challenged. There was an aura of frustration and tiredness by Shericka Jackson at the end of season 2023. Regardless when those two Stars come around the bend at Paris 2024, remove or lose your hat. The Tail Gate Party continues

QUEST FOR GOLD – 2024

Riddle me this, Riddle me that, which Athlete has the best chance of achieving their quest for gold at Olympics 2024? Is it Shacari Richardson, Elaine Thompson Herah, Shericka Jackson, Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce, Julien Alfred, Marie Jose Talou, EJ Obiena, or Antonio Watson? Regardless of who makes the Final in their events.

It is unlikely that Shacari Richardson or Shericka Jackson will run the 100m faster than 10.65 seconds. Shacari or Shericka will be Factors in the Women 100m in Paris 2024. Shacari might win the 100m in Paris 2024 but unlikely to be on the 200m Podium. The Quest for Gold in women Sprints has never been more of a contest since “The First Olympics”. Do you remember that day?

Elaine Thompson Herah and Team discontinued relationship with Coach Shanikie Osbourne. Supposedly, Shanikie was asking for too much money.  Fans hope none involved traded Athlete Coach Chemistry for dollars. Elaine Thompson Herah is the one doing the Training, Dieting, and Running but the intangible of Chemistry between Athlete and coach might be worth more than the Dollars. Athlete has to succeed in the Quest for Gold for that trade to be right.

Track and Field Season 2024 is the year of the presumptive Triple Double in Women 100m and 200m at the Olympics. Avid Track Fans believe 2024 is the only year in History for that spectacular occurrence. One exceptional Athlete is two thirds there. Fans would like to experience that achievement. The physical and the spiritual is always a delicate balancing act.

Fans are happy that Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH) through belief and resilience is looking good and prepared for the 2024 season. She will have a 2024 season equivalent to 2021. However, distraction could have a negative impact. The Elite Track Club environment is not expected to be perfect for the Star.

Shericka Jackson has taken ownership of the Women 200m event. The event has become the Shericka Jackson Invitational. Gabby Thomas has significant work to doShacari Richardson is unlikely to contend for the Gold medal in the 200m. In 2024 Elaine Thompson – Herah (ETH) will raise the excitement level in this event.  Do not be surprised if Shericka Jackson is challenged. There was an aura of frustration and tiredness by Shericka Jackson at the end of season 2023. Regardless when those two Stars come around the bend at Paris 2024, remove or lose your hat.

Expectations are that Elaine Thompson – Herah will join the 200m chase to break the world record of 21.34 seconds. With some effort, ETH can break the 100m world record of 10.49 seconds. Her performance should produce a time of 10.47 seconds. Fans are expecting performances in the Women 200m event to be better than 21.53 seconds. Athletes, whose 200m performance is slower than 22.00 seconds, should consider participating in another event. Fans are anticipating the winning time in Paris to be 21.24 seconds. These two Stars – Shericka Jackson and Elaine Thompson Herah are planning to assault the current 200m record of 21.34 seconds.

Elaine Thompson Herah will be fine. In 2024, she will realize that she has an opportunity to accomplish something that has never been done and no chance of being repeated. She will have a chance to complete a Triple Double in the 100m and 200m at the Olympics. She will have an opportunity to add some granite to her already cemented Track and Field career. Her Legacy, despite a Sub-Par 2023 season is etched in the annals of Olympic History.

Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce is expected to be competitive in the 100m and might get a Silver or Bronze medal in the event. Fans do not believe Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce will be a Factor in the Women 200m in Paris 2024 but strange things happen in Track and Field. She will be an excellent asset in the 4X100m Relay.

Julien Alfred is still adjusting to Olympic level competition. Completion of such adjustment should be noticeable in 2028. An expectation that Julien Alfred will be on the 100m and 200m Podiums at Paris 2024 is probably naïve.

Marie Jose Ta Lou is a competitor and good for Track and Field. She will always win some one-off races but come up short in Olympic Finals. However, Stars will always consider her a force to be reckoned with. She could be a factor in the 100m in Paris 2024. Marie Jose Talou, Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce, Shacari Richardson, Elaine Thompson Herah, and Shericka Jackson will make it difficult for Julien Alfred to have success in the 100m and 200m. Marie Jose Talou will continue her Quest for Gold – 2024.

EJ Obiena of the Philippines is on pace to get the Gold medal in Paris 2024. Men pole Vault is an exciting event. The Philippines is preparing for another magnanimous Olympic moment. All hope that EJ Obiena will succeed in his Quest for Gold in 2024.

Can Antonio Watson run a sub 44.00 seconds? Expectations are that multiple Jamaicans might deliver in this event, at Paris 2024. Those who have been asking Glen Mills for 400m Stars will see Antonio Watson victory as Redemption for Glen Mills -“One Bob”. Men 400m will be a thriller. A better script cannot be written.  The Tail Gate Party continues

SPECULATION, CONCLUSION, AND CARRYOVER

SPECULATION: Track and Field Season 2024 is the year of the presumptive Triple Double in Women 100m and 200m at the Olympics. Avid Track Fans believe 2024 is the only year in History for that spectacular occurrence. One exceptional Athlete is two thirds there. Let your imagination run wild. You might have the experience.

CONCLUSION: Some athletes had an off year but with fortitude, they bounced back and salvaged their 2023 season. Fans are happy to see that Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH) through belief and resilience is looking good and prepared for the 2024 season. She will have a 2024 season equivalent to 2021. Expectations are that she will join the 200m chase to break the world record of 21.34 seconds. With some effort, ETH can break the 100m world record of 10.49 seconds. Her performance should produce a time of 10.47 seconds. Track Fans cannot imagine Shacari Richardson or Shericka Jackson running the 100m event faster than 10.65 seconds. All is well that ends well on the Track and off.

Fans are expecting performances in the Women 200m event to be above the Elaine Thompson Herah line of 21.53 seconds. Athletes, whose 200m performance is slower than 22.00 seconds, should consider participating in another event. Fans are anticipating the Olympic winning time in Paris to be 21.24 seconds. These two Stars – Shericka Jackson and Elaine Thompson Herah are planning to assault the current 200m record of 21.34 seconds. Believe it or not.

Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH) is returning to Track shape. The Queen of Women Sprinting is moving forward with her preparation for Paris 2024. MVP Track Club is not a need or of value in the way forward for Elaine Thompson Herah. Elaine Thompson Herah will be fine. In 2024, she will realize that she has an opportunity to accomplish something that has never been done and no chance of being repeated. She will have a chance to complete a Triple Double of the 100m and 200m at the Olympics. She will have an opportunity to add some granite to her already cemented Track and Field career. Her Legacy, despite a below par 2023 season will be forever known.

CARRYOVER: Women 200m event has become the Shericka Jackson Invitational. Gabby Thomas has significant work to do.  Shacari Richardson is unlikely to contend for the Gold medal in the 200m. When ETH returns in 2024 the excitement level, will rise in this event.  Do not be surprised if Shericka Jackson is challenged. Hold on to your hat if you need it for Church Services. When those two Stars come around the bend at Paris 2024, remove or lose your hat.

Women 100m Hurdles will be the Blue Ribbon event at Paris 2024. The competition will be fierce.  The field will be very talented. On any given day, any of the participants can win that event. The margin for error is low. Whoever clears the 3rd Hurdle first has the best chance of winning the event.

Women 400m Flat will be competitive. Mari Leidy Paulino appears to be ahead of the competition. The question now is can she run faster than 47.60 seconds. When Sydney McLaughlinSalwa Eid Naser, Gabby Thomas, and Shaunae Miller- Uibo are ready to perform, it would be interesting to witness performances and result. Mari Leidy Paulino will be a Factor. 

Men 400m will be a thriller. Could Vincent Price have written a better script? Can Antonio Watson run a sub 44.00 seconds? Expectations are that multiple Jamaicans will deliver in this event, at Paris 2024.  To that end they are ahead of schedule. Antonio Watson ran the perfect race under the circumstances in Budapest.  Congratulations to Antonio Watson for his Tactical performance. Those who have been asking Glen Mills for 400m Stars will see this victory as Redemption -“One Bob”. Making the Jamaican 400m Team for Olympics 2024 should be interesting and competitive. Anticipation is Jamaica Men 4 X 400m Relay team for Paris 2024 will be strong

Men 400m Hurdles has become a Karsten Warholm affair. Running this event in 46.89 seconds is fast.  Use to be 47.XX seconds would get the Gold medal but not anymore.  McMaster appears to be doing something right in training. Rai Benjamin will be a factor. McMaster will be the Athlete to watch in Paris 2024. Roshawn Clarke gave a good account of himself and produced a Valiant effort in Budapest.  Great things are in store for the young man in this event.

Men 110m Hurdles with Grant Holloway, Hansle Parchment, and Rasheed Broadbell will always be a battle. Winning the event in a time of 12.96 seconds or better will become common. With Gravity in control of the times in this event, it is unlikely we will see a sub 12.70 seconds result for this event. 

Women pole Vault is an event that does not get much attention. Next year at the Olympics 2024, the event should have a strong following. Fans expect to see names like USA Katie Moon and Australia Nina Kennedy.

Men pole Vault is an exciting event. EJ Obiena of the Philippines is on pace to get the Gold medal in Paris 2024. The Philippines is preparing for another magnanimous Olympic moment.

Women High Jump is popular.  Mahuchikh, Patterson, and Olyslagers are expected to put on a good show for the fans. The Jamaican- Distin looks very good.  Expectations are Lamara Distin will be a factor in Paris 2024.

Men High Jump, Tamberi, Harrison, and Barshim are the Stars in this Event. The results might be the same in Paris 2024 but fans anticipate a shuffle in the standings with Harrison given a slight edge. It will be interesting to see if anyone can jump higher than 2.36m.

Men Long Jump is demonstration that Jamaican athletes are rediscovering the Field events.  Wayne Pinnock, Tajay Gayle, and Carey McLeod finished 2, 3, and 4 respectively in Budapest. With a little bit of luck it will be a 1, 2, and 3 finish for the Jamaicans.

Most Athletes are taking time off before Training and preparation for Olympics 2024 but the Tail Gate Party continues.

SPRINT QUEEN RISING TO THE TOP – 2023

Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH) is returning to Track shape. The Queen of Women Sprinting is moving forward with her preparation for Paris 2024. The Cream always rises to the top.

MVP Track Club is not a need or of value in the way forward for Elaine Thompson Herah. Elaine Thompson Herah will be fine. In 2024, she will realize that she has an opportunity to accomplish something that has never been done and no chance of being repeated. She will have a chance to complete a Triple Double of the 100m and 200m at the Olympics. She will have an opportunity to add some granite to her already cemented Track and Field career. Her Legacy, despite a disappointing 2023 season will be forever known. Newcomers to the Sport will aspire to win doubles and not just a gold medal in an event. That mindset will add another level to Track and Field greatness.

Women 200m event has become the Shericka Jackson Invitational. Gabby Thomas has significant work to do.  Shacari Richardson is unlikely to contend for the Gold medal in the 200m. When ETH returns in 2024 the excitement level, will rise in this event.  Do not be surprised if Shericka Jackson is challenged.  ETH 21.53 seconds is not far from 21.41.

Expectations are that multiple Jamaicans will deliver in this event, at Paris 2024.  To that end they are ahead of schedule.

LOOMING DISAPPOINTMENT – 2023

It appears that the rebound of Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH) might be threatened. Pre- season 2022 she opened with a 400M experiment, which in retrospect failed. Pre- season 2023 she again opened with another 400M experiment, which objectively was a failure. Unless it was a planned 300M experiment, it failed or proved nothing. Said experiment can be done in Training. Fans have no interest in seeing their Star struggle. Lactic acid will embarrass any Athlete. Our Star is not focus on her Bread and Butter events. Since the coaching staff is confused, then it is time for Sponsors to speak up. Disappointment is in the air.

If an Athlete wishes to experiment with the 400M, then do it in Training. The notion that running the 400M will prepare one for the 200M is folly, at least for ETH. No one wish for a return to her previous Track Club but Fans are encouraging current coaches to get their act together. ETH is on the cusp of a three – Peat of the double, 100 and 200M, at Olympics in 2024. By Jove, get to that point coaches. If this conduct is a strategy then Fans are now asking what exactly is the Goal. Disappointment is Looming.

Fans anticipate Signature performances in the women 100M, 200M, 400M, and 800M. Competitive Athletes are planning to surprise. They are planning to deliver exceptional performances to cap the era 2016 – 2024. Fans believe the 100M world record will be 10.47 seconds, the 200M world record will be 21.2 seconds, the 400M world record will be 47.5, and the 800M world record will be 1:52.55 by the end of Track season 2024.

Track and Field 2023 is moving forward. Track and Field is creating excitement and the World is watching. Expectations are Stars will be ready and competitors will be back rejuvenated and determined to outperform their rivals. In the midst of all this excitement and anticipation, The Olympics women 100M Record Holder is seemingly inactive. Disappointment is Looming.

2023 and 2024, will be defining years for some Track and Field stars. Careers will end or begin in these two years. Women 100M record will be 10.47 and the 200M record will be 21.2 seconds. BeyondApparent.com thinks the Olympic record holder for the 100M is most likely to accomplish that success as long as there are no hidden injuries. Fans should not be distracted by 60M Events. There is an Ocean between 60M and 100M and you had better be able to swim.

Women 400M and 800M events will be very competitive. Gabby Thomas will hunt for treasure in the 400M event. The 800M is still unsorted. With the exception of Athing Mu, there is still no indication in 2023 of anyone ready to be World Champion in the 800M event. 

Jamaican Female sprinters, have unfinished business. Fans of Elaine Thompson – Herah (ETH) anticipate excellent years in 2023 and 2024. They are anxious for Signature Performances. The next two years 2023 and 2024 is Prime time to run 10.47 for the Women 100M event. If 10.47 is not attained Fans will wait decades for that opportunity. Base on 2023 performances, 10.47 in the women 100M is more likely to occur in Paris than in Budapest. That record will last forever and a Day.

Absent injuries, ETH should to be a Factor in the Women 100M and 200M events in Budapest Hungary August 19, 2023. Less than Signature Performances will be a disappointment. Elaine Thompson – Herah, has work to do but nothing to be nervous about. The Spear will be burning in Budapest and will make Jamaica proud

Athletes planning to be in the Women 100M Final in Budapest with a Personal Best (PB) slower than 10.7X should skip the event. Participating in the event with a PB south of 10.7X, will make you late for Dinner, where dinner is the Gold Medal. The Women’s 100M Final in Budapest 2023 is on Track for a Time of 10.61 or better. The Tail Gate Party continues to Olympics 2024.

2023 promises to be a rebuilding Year for Male Jamaican sprinters. Jamaican Female sprinters, particularly Stars have unfinished business. Fans of Elaine Thompson – Herah (ETH) anticipate excellent years in 2023 and 2024. They are anxious for Signature Performances. The next two years 2023 and 2024 is the time to run 10.47 for the 100M event. If a time of 10.47 is not accomplished Fans will wait decades for that opportunity.

The Philippines Track and Field competition continues with enthusiasm and optimism. Sources believe that participation and performance in the female camp will rival the spirit of Jamaican Athletes. It will take time to duplicate times, distances, and heights but they are moving forward.

Philippines Athletes are making efforts to improve their skills in Long Jump, Triple Jump, and High Jump. They are exhibiting performances consistent with an “I can do” attitude. Once competitively successful in International meetings, confidence will set in making the sky the limit. Future SEA Games will be preparation for Olympic competition.

Boxing, weightlifting, gymnastics, and swimming programs appear to be well on the way to producing Stars in the near future. Current Athletes in these disciplines are not yet Household names but avid Fans think that like Hidilyn Diaz and EJ OBIENA, some will attain prominence soon.

In Boxing, Female and Male Kababayans are stepping in the Ring fearless and throwing barrage of punches. They are competing in a manner the equivalent of “I am Pilipino and here to win”. Eumir Marcial is a promising Boxer who should have a successful Professional career. The “young uns” are maintaining the Legacy.

Weightlifting is now a prominent sport. Weightlifters are encouraged by the performances of Hidilyn Diaz in SEA Games – 2022. Pinoys expect their good fortunes to continue. Fans expect the Team to be competitive on the International stage.

In Gymnastics, Carlos Yulo should maintain his form. The Philippines Athletes are progressively working on their talents. The Women’s Gymnastics Team is competitive. Fans sense a Pride of the Philippines among them, or a Burning Spear somewhere.  The mettle of Philippines Women Athletes will be obvious in Olympics 2024

Swimming is frontline event for the Filipino Team. Kababayans are always striving to be as good as Americans are in the Pool. CHLOE ISLETA is leading the effort. Hidilyn Diaz encourages another First in an event. Chloe Isleta embraces the challenge and look forward to Olympics 2024. There is no doubt that Filipinos would like to be as good as Jamaicans are on the Track.

Pole Vault in the Philippines is getting attention. E J Obiena and Natalie Uy are creating excitement. Natalie Uy is someone to follow. Fans of E J Obiena see him as a high prospect for a Medal in the Pole Vault Olympics 2024. It is likely that he will win the Gold Medal at Olympics 2024. He did not win the Gold Medal at WAC – 2022 but he performed at a high Level and won the Bronze.  

SEA Games 2022 produced encouraging performances. The Women 200M Final performance was impressive. Performances overall were encouraging spiritually but physically there is significant work required. All Athletes are back in constructive Training and preparation for WAC – 2023 and Olympics 2024. The Tail Gate Party continues to Olympics 2024.

THE DAWN OF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS – 2022

The National Track and Field Trials across the Globe are over. What have Fans learned, probably not much? Stars did enough to qualify to compete in their events at WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS – 2022. In the next two weeks, Fans will get a Glimpse of potential performance and times. Base on performances in the Trials, three Countries – Jamaica, United States, and England are vying for all Eight (8) or Nine (9) spots in the Women’s 100M Final. There could be a Triangular Country Face-off with Jamaica completing another sweep or even a 1234 finish, if you include Kemba Nelson, with only three spots on the Podium. That is scary!

Post National Trials, Stars will put their Head, uniform, and Track shoes on. Preparation is on the way for a Track and Field Rematch between Elaine Thompson-Herah, Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce, and Shericka Jackson at World Championships 2022. Some Stars are not ready but they are getting there. Elaine Thompson-Herah (ETH) is etched as the Fastest Woman Alive but that does not mean she will win every contest before World Championships 2022. Regardless of what transpires in June, she is the Fastest Woman Alive.   

Some Stars appear to be carrying a grudge from the Tokyo Olympics to World Championships 2022. That is not a good thing. In the early season, said Stars will run great times because of the anger inside but when it subsides and it will, there will be a return to normal self or even worse in terms of performance in Head-to-Head competition. That is when the Phantom of the Opera is there.

In the 100M and 200M Finals Stars will have no time to keep anything in Reserve, they will leave it all on the Track. Stars will let competitors listen for the Gun and watch the Feet. The moment a competitor’s feet is off Blocks, Stars will BOOGIE. Stars should remember to treat competitors with respect. The competitive conduct in Track is “Good morning”, “Good afternoon”, and “Good Night” – Meet me at the Tape.

Athletes planning to be in the Women’s 100M Final in Oregon with a Personal Best (PB) slower than 10.7X should STAY HOME or skip the event. Participating in the event with a PB south of 10.7X will make you late for Dinner, where Dinner is the Gold Medal. The Women 100M Final in Oregon 2022 is on Track for a Time of 10.47 or better. The Women 200M Final in Oregon 2022 is on Track for a Time of 21.5 or better. Sadly, Gabby Thomas will not impose her will and be a party crasher. Gabby is suffering from Ham String injury. The Tail Gate Party continues.
