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.

QUEST FOR GOLD – 2024

December 17, 2023 by BeyondApparent in E J OBIENA, ELAINE THOMPSON, FILIPINO, FLAG, GABBY THOMAS, JAMAICA, OLYMPICS, Paris, shacari Richardson, Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce, Shericka Jackson, SPORTS, TOKYO, TRACK AND FIELD, Uncategorized, USA, WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS and tagged Antonio Watson, athletics, EJ OBIENA, Elaine Thompson - Herah, ETH, GABBY THOMAS, Julien Alfred, OLYMPICS, Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce, Shericka Jackson, SPORTS, TRACK AND FIELD, world-athletics | Leave a comment

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.

(Photo by Tim Clayton/Corbis via Getty Images)

Shericka Jackson has taken ownership of the Women 200m event. The 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. 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.

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.

The Stars are experiencing a level of anxiety. There is no time to rest and some in the Athletic community are exhibiting discord. Hence there is looming Jitters. While there were good performances in 2023, the Stars know there is work to do before Paris 2024. Regardless of the high drama in Budapest 2023, those who take their talent seriously are well aware they can do better. Preparations have begun to attain that other level of athleticism by the Paris Olympics.

Shelly Ann Fraser – Pryce and Elaine Thompson – Herah are back on the Trail. Both Stars know that one can never be too ready. Athletes have to put in the work to get meaningful results. After an action packed and drama filled Budapest world Championship – 2023, competitors know what to expect and will be bringing their A – Game to Paris – 2024.

Antonio Watson became a Star in Budapest. Congratulations to Antonio Watson for his Tactical performance. Glen Mills delivered a 400m Star -“One Bob”. Anticipation is Jamaica Men 4 X 400m Relay team for Paris 2024 will be strong. Men 400m in Budapest was a thriller. A better script could not have been written. The question is can Antonio Watson run sub 44.00 seconds for the event. Expectations are that multiple Jamaicans will deliver in this event, at Paris 2024.

Fans are expecting performances in the Women 200m event to be above the Elaine Thompson Herah line of 21.53 seconds.

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

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. 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 McLaughlin, Salwa Eid Naser, Gabby Thomas, and Shaunae Miller- Uibo are ready to perform, it would be interesting to witness performances and result. Despite said speculation, Mari Leidy Paulino will be a Factor.

Men 400m will be a thriller. Can Antonio Watson of Jamaica 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. Too bad Sean Bailey was not able to run a better race in Budapest. 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. 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 12.80 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.

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 would have been a 1, 2, and 3 finish for the Jamaicans.

September 15, 2023 by BeyondApparent in E J OBIENA, ELAINE THOMPSON, GABBY THOMAS, NATOYA GOULE, OLYMPICS, Paris, Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce, Shericka Jackson, SPORTS, SYDNEY McLAUGLIN, TRACK AND FIELD, Uncategorized, USA, WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS and tagged Antonio Watson, DDanielle Williams, EJ OBIENA, Elaine Thompson - Herah, ETH, Hansel Parchment, Noah Lyles, Paulino, Shericka Jackson | Leave a comment

World Championships – 2023 was exciting with surprising results in some finals. The experience required more recovery time than anticipated. Jamaican Athletes are ahead of schedule for Paris 2024. Below are takeaways from Budapest.

Women 100m finals saw a surprising winner Shacari Richardson. If ETH was in Track shape the result would have been different. Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce fitness was exposed and Shericka Jackson lacks the ferociousness of a 100m sprinter. To be a 100m champion you must run through the finish line and not to it. Because of that error in execution Shericka Jackson failed to be a double Gold medalist. Congratulations to Shacari Richardson. She is better than she was at Prefontaine Classic 2021 but still not better than 10.54.

MVP Track Club is not a need or of value in the way forward for Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH). 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.

Men 100m Finals looked like a best of the rest competition. Noah Lyles ran an exceptional race but there was the looming specter of where was everyone else. The event had a slow motion feeling. Oblique Seville appears to be comfortable with 4th place finishes in finals. Glen Mills has work to do. Congratulations to Noah Lyles.

Women 200m Finals was the Shericka Jackson Invitational. Gabby Thomas has significant psychological 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. Don’t be surprised if Shericka Jackson is challenged. 21.53 seconds is not far from 21.41. Hold on to your hats if you need them for Church Services. When those two Stars come around the bend at Paris 2024 all hats are off. Congratulations to Shericka Jackson for a stellar performance in Budapest 2023.

Men 200m was the Noah Lyles clinic. Apparently the preliminary rounds eliminated the Legs of everyone except Noah. Erriyon Knighton has seemingly reached his zenith. The rest of the competition need to rediscover themselves before Paris 2024. There is talk about Antonio Watson throwing is beret into the 200m mix but fans not sure he can run sub 20.00 seconds for the event. Regardless congratulations to Noah Lyles for his performance and victory in Budapest.

Women 100m Hurdles was the Blue Ribbon event. The competition was fierce. The field was very talented. Expect more of the same at Olympics 2024. On any given day anyone of the participants can win that race. The margin for error is low. It came down to whoever cleared the 3rd Hurdle first. Danielle Williams did and thereafter everyone was playing catch up. Jasmine Camacho Quinn did well to fight back but it was Danielle Williams day. Congratulations to Danielle Williams.

Women 400m Flat saw Mari Leidy Paulino from the Dominican Republic dominate the competition. With a winning time of 48.77 seconds Paulino is ahead of the competition. The question now is can she run faster than 47.60 seconds. When Sydney McLaughlin, Salwa Eid Naser, Gabby Thomas, and Shaunae Miller- Uibo are ready to perform it would be interesting to witness performances and result. Despite said speculation, Congratulations to Mari Leidy Paulino.

Men 400m Finals was a thriller. Antonio Watson of Jamaica delivered a fantastic victory in a time of 44.22 seconds. That victory could not have been scripted. Expectations were that Jamaicans would deliver in this event next year. To that end they are ahead of schedule. Too bad Sean Bailey was not able to run a better race. Antonio Watson ran the perfect race under the circumstances. Congratulations to Antonio Watson for his Tactical performance. Those who have been asking Glenn 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.

Women 400m Hurdles saw Femke Bol win in a time of 51.70 seconds. Shamir Little took second and Rochelle Clark took third. Quite frankly the result was not impressive. The finish of that race was interesting. Rochelle Clayton can win this race in Paris 2024. She has to work on her race between the 200m and 300m section. She has a faster finish than Bol and Little. Great things are possible for Rochelle. Regardless congratulations to Femke Bol.

Men 400m Hurdles has become a Karsten Warholm affair. Running this event in 46.89 seconds is fast. Use to be 47.00 seconds would get the Gold medal but not anymore. McMaster finishing second appears to be doing something right in training. Rai Benjamin with a 3rd place finish held form but was unable to close the performance gap between himself and Warholm. McMaster will be the Athlete to watch in Paris 2024. Clarke gave a good account of himself and produced a Valiant effort. Great things are in store for the young man in this event. Regardless congratulations to Karsten Warholm.

Men 110m Hurdles saw Grant Holloway outclass the field but at the end Hansel Parchment and Daniel Roberts decided to join the competition. Winning the event in time of 12.96 seconds is exceptional. While Rasheed Broadbell might have turned in a time of 12.93 seconds the margin of victory would have been negligible. With Gravity in control of the times in this event, it’s possible that we are unlikely to see a sub 12.90 seconds run for this event. Congratulations to Grant Holloway in his victory.

Women 800m saw Mary Moraa, Athing Mu, and Keely Hodgkinson in a battle to the finish. The winning time of 1:53:03 is remarkable. Athing Mu was challenged and may need to reconstruct her preparation. Athletes like Natoya Goule – Topping with a PB of 1:57:00 has significant background work to do. Congratulations to Mary Moraa for a Tactical performance.

Men 800m was an event many Fans were not keen on. Fans could not discern any one “fire in the belly competitor “. Arop of Canada came away with the victory in a time of 1:44:24 but Track fans think the event can be run faster, probably in a time of 1:43:00. Except for Arop it is hard to imagine an athlete who might produce that time by Paris 2024. Congratulations to Arop of Canada.

Women 1500m saw Faith Kipyegon and Sifan Hassan continue their battles but they now have company in a spirited competitor- Welteji. Until Kipyegon and Hassan are not in the top 3 finishing positions, the status quo remains. Congratulations to Kipyegon for a well run race.

Men 1500m or Mile saw Josh Kerr of Great Britain survive to win the event in 3:33:00. Ingerbrightsen of Norway gave it a Valiant effort but ran out of energy. Fans expected a faster time but apparently the competitors were victims of the rounds. The winning time in Paris 2024 is expected to be in the neighborhood of 3:20 to 3:25. Congratulations to Josh Kerr.

Women pole Vault is an event that does not get much attention. Next year at the Olympics the event is expected to draw a strong following. The competition was a hard fought battle between USA Katie Moon and Australia Nina Kennedy. In the end the Ladies agreed to accept a tie. Both Competitors were credited for a Vault of 4:80m. Congratulations to USA Katie Moon and Australia Nina Kennedy.

Men pole Vault was an exciting competition. EJ Obiena got the Silver medal. He is on pace to get the Gold medal in Paris 2024. The Philippines is preparing for another magnanimous Olympic moment. Congratulations to Mondo Duplantis for winning the event with a Vault of 6:00m

Women High Jump is popular. Mahuchikh, Patterson, and Olyslagers 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. The event exhibited excellent performances. Congratulations to Mahuchikh for surviving the challenge with a Jump of 2.01m.

Men High Jump, Tamberi, Harrison, and Barshim were triumphant 1, 2, and 3 respectively in the competition. The results might be the same in Paris 2024 but fans anticipate a shuffle in the standings with Harrison given a slight edge. Congratulations to Tamberi with the winning height of 2.36m.

Women Long Jump could benefit from a little more excitement. Fans are concerned that competitors are not offering much of a challenge. In the end Ivana Vuleta, Tamara Davis, and Rotaru – Kottman took Gold, Silver, and Bronze respectively. Congratulations to Vuelta with the winning Jump of 7:14m. There is a strong feeling that the result will be different in Paris 2024.

Men Long Jump was a demonstration that Jamaican athletes are rediscovering the Field events. Wayne Pinnock, Tajay Gayle, and Carey McLeod finished 2, 3, and 4 respectively. With a little bit of luck it would have been a 1, 2, and 3 finish for the Jamaicans. Congratulations to Militadis Tentoglou who won the event.

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

LOOMING DISAPPOINTMENT – 2023

April 10, 2023 by BeyondApparent in ELAINE THOMPSON, FLAG, GABBY THOMAS, JAMAICA, NACAC, OLYMPICS, Paris, SPORTS, TRACK AND FIELD, Uncategorized, USA, WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS and tagged Elaine Thompson - Herah, ETH, GABBY THOMAS, Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce, Shericka Jackson | Leave a comment

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.

MALE TRACK STARS NEEDED – 2023

March 20, 2023 by BeyondApparent in ELAINE THOMPSON, JAMAICA, OLYMPICS, Paris, RIO 2016, SPORTS, TOKYO, TRACK AND FIELD, Uncategorized, USA, WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS and tagged AKEEM BLAKE, JAHEEL HYDE, YOHAN BLAKE | Leave a comment

Jamaican Male Track and Field Athletes capable of running sub 10.0 seconds for the 100M, sub 20.0 seconds for the 200M, sub 44.0 seconds for the 400M, sub 1:44 for the 800M, and sub 3:20 for the 1500M are invited to audition in Country for Track Season 2023. Be there or be square. Uniforms provided after a successful Drug Test. Hope to see you there.

The following Athletes were invited and encouraged to bring a Training Partner: Yohan Blake, Akeem Blake, Akeem Bloomfield, Oblique Seville, Jaydon Hibbert, Jaheel Hyde, Julian FORTE, and Andrew Hudson. If your name is not in the list then our scouts made a faux pas. Regardless please step forward. Many will represent Country in a Sport that undoubtedly is the original and the hardest.

Fans are calling for an end to the drought of victories and a return to performances consistent with Heritage. Fans anticipate Jamaica’s male Track and Field athletes to resume dominance at World Championship 2023 and Olympics 2024. We expect Signature Performances. We know things will get better but it is time to get to work. Fans will patiently wait and provide pens for Signature performances.

There are prospects for Jamaica’s male Track and Field. It is time for all to Big Up. Usain is not the only one who can run. Did Usain take the best track shoes home? Thank goodness, he did not take the women shoes. Usain Bolt might have been an inspiration or the equivalent of an insurance policy but Fans are looking for a few good men to inspire and motivate others.

There were great expectations that success at Common Wealth Games 2018 would carry forward to Olympics 2020 in Tokyo. Unfortunately, Fans did not realize that expectation. At Commonwealth Games 2018, the team placed 11^TH out of 43 with 27 Medals in total – 7 Gold, 9 Silver, and 11 Bronze. Not too shabby for an Island Nation. Fans anticipated improvement in Field events such as Long Jump, Triple Jump Javelin, Discus, Shot Put, Hammer throw, and High Jump. Those gains did not materialize in Tokyo 2021 but they are forthcoming.

Hurdling has caught on. Jamaica’s Male Hurdlers are demonstrating what Fans expected in this Event. Hansle Parchment won Gold and Ronald Levy won Bronze in the 110M hurdles Olympics 2020 in Tokyo. Jaheel Hyde has some work to do in the Men’s 400 meters hurdles but Fans think he is on the cusp of doing something special. Track and Field is hard work and Perseverance.

Omar McLeod still impress despite not making the Team for recent International campaigns. His performances boosted interest in the 110M Hurdles event. The 110M Hurdles is an event in which Jamaican Athletes should excel. It is time to get ready for World Athletic Championships – 2023. I am 100 percent behind Hurdlers. Is it possible that Omar McLeod, Hansle Parchment, and Ronald Levy could produce a 123 in the 110M hurdles? Fans think it is possible. However, there is a new person on the Team – Rasheed Broadbell. The Tail Gate Party continues to Olympics 2024.

In 2023 and 2024, Fans anticipate Signature performances in the women 100M, 200M, 400M, and 800M. Stars and competitive Athletes are planning to surprise. They are planning to deliver an extravaganza of performances to cap the era 2016 – 2024. Fans will be delighted, always remembering where they were when the 100M world record became 10.47 seconds, the 200M world record became 21.2 seconds, the 400M world record became 47.5, and the 800M world record became 1:52.55.

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.

Track and Field 2023 has officially begun. Expectations are the Stars will be ready but many competitors will be back rejuvenated and determined to unseat or outperform their rivals.

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.

Fans of Elaine Thompson – Herah (ETH) anticipate excellent years in 2023 and 2024. 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. If she runs 10.47 for the 100M in Budapest or Paris, that record will last forever and a Day.

Track and Field competition in the Philippines 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 “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.

On the Olympic Level 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.

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. There are Philippines Women Athletes whose mettle will be obvious in Olympics 2024.

Swimming is a 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.
