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 McLaughlin, Salwa 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.

TAKEAWAY BUDAPEST- 2023

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.

ARE WE THERE YET – BUDAPEST – 2023

August 19, 2023 by BeyondApparent in ELAINE THOMPSON, GABBY THOMAS, JAMAICA, NATOYA GOULE, OLYMPICS, Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce, Shericka Jackson, SPORTS, SYDNEY McLAUGLIN, TRACK AND FIELD, Uncategorized, USA, WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS and tagged Elaine Thompson - Herah, RAI BENJAMIN, Rasheed Broadbell, Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce, Shericka Jackson | Leave a comment

All Flight Paths end in Budapest, Hungary for Track and Field World Championships August 19, 2023. Jamaica Men 4x100M squad, should medal in Budapest but it will take excellent baton passing. Four men capable of 9.9X with a running start should produce a time of 36.XX to 37.XX seconds for the event through the rounds. Regardless which Athletes are selected to run the final, they should be able to accomplish a time between 36 and 37 seconds. That should be good enough to get on the podium. Except for the USA, not many countries have two athletes who can run sub 10.00 seconds for the 100M event.

Jamaica Men 4x400M squad, should medal in Budapest. Four men capable of 45.XX with a running start should produce a time below 3:00 minutes for the event. Are we there yet?

Expectations by Key Events and Gender are as follows:

In the Women 100M Final, Shericka Jacko Jackson, and Shelly Ann Fraser – Pryce should medal. The Men 100M Final will be a different story. Fans fail to fathom a scenario in which Jamaican Men will earn a medal. However, strange things happen in Track and Field.

In the Women 200M Final, Shericka Jacko Jackson should medal. The Women 200M Event has a Looming cloud. Fans are having difficulty determining if Gabby Thomas is ready. Can Julien Alfred run a sub 22.00 seconds? Where does Dina Asher Smith factor in this mix? May the best Woman win on that day. Men 200M Final, is still wide open. Some Fans are not willing to declare Noah Lyles the winner. However, astute Fans know that 20.XX is not going to win that Event. Fans fail to fathom a scenario in which a Jamaican will win the event. No, I am not bashing, Track Fans welcome the facts every time.

The Women 400M Final is a Crapshoot. With Sydney McLaughlin – Levrone out of the Event there is new life for all Participants. Gabby Thomas would have had a Ball and ¾. Fans are bumming out on missing a thriller 400M event. Fans can envision a scenario in which a Jamaican could win the event. The Men 400M Final should be a Steven Gardiner affair but if he cheats on the backstretch, he will have a rude awakening.

The Women 800M Final should be interesting but there is rumor that Athing Mu might skip the Event. Natoya Goule is a star. She will be a force to reckon with. For The Men 800M Final take your Pick or root for your kind of Athlete.

The Hurdles will be the Blue Ribbon Event. The Women 100M Hurdles have a Cast of characters who could win the Event. Expectations are it will be a Jamaica versus USA rivalry. Whoever gets over the Third Hurdle first wins the Event. The Men 110M Hurdles should be a battle between Grant Holloway and Rasheed Broadbell.

Women 400M Hurdles could see Femke Bol win Gold but there could be a surprise. Probably best to see how the Rounds shake out. Men 400M Hurdles could see Rai Benjamin produce a spectacular performance but expect competition from the Jamaicans.

In the 1500M or Mile, I have no picks

Where it relates to the Relays there are four events and Jamaica has a slight edge in one, the Women 4 X 100M relay. Baton passing will be Key in the 4 X 100M relay. Whoever runs Legs 1 and 2 will be crucial to the result. My assumption is Elaine Thompson Herah will run the second Leg, Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce will run the third Leg and Shericka Jacko Jackson will run the Anchor Leg.

(Photo by Jim WATSON / AFP) (Photo by JIM WATSON/AFP via Getty Images)

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 Olympics 2024. From this perspective, World Championships 2023 will not be the venue for 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 at Olympics 2024.

Let us agree to dis-agree, World Championships 2023 will be a dress rehearsal for Olympics 2024. Fans anticipate improvement in Field events such as Long Jump, Triple Jump Javelin, Discus, Shot Put, Hammer throw, and High Jump. Hurdling has caught on. Jamaica’s Male Hurdlers are demonstrating what Fans expected in this Event. Learn the Technique and use your speed. Track and Field is hard work and Perseverance.

Is it possible that Rasheed Broadbell, Hansle Parchment, and Ronald Levy or someone else could produce a 123 in the 110M hurdles, Olympics 2024? Fans think it is possible. The Tail Gate Party continues to Olympics 2024.

TRACK AND FIELD ALIVE AND WELL

June 11, 2023 by BeyondApparent in CHRISTIAN COLEMAN, NOAH LYLES, ABBY STEINER, ELAINE THOMPSON, FRED KERLEY, GABBY THOMAS, JAMAICA, OLYMPICS, Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce, Shericka Jackson, SPORTS, SYDNEY McLAUGLIN, TRACK AND FIELD, Uncategorized, USA, WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS and tagged Elaine Thompson - Herah, Shericka Jackson | Leave a comment

Contrary to recent chatter, Track Fans including Puma and Nike will not let Track and Field die. Track and Field is the oldest Sport as the Drum is the oldest instrument. Track Athletes represent the best in Sports.

Tradition fades but never dies. There are trends, resurgences, and ebbing flows in Track and Field. Individual competition is here to stay. Competition among individuals starts from kindergarten and continues in the workplace including Politics and government.

Fans would argue that the big three – Elaine Thompson Herah, Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce, and Shericka Jacko Jackson with significant support from Gabby Thomas, Sydney McLaughlin, Abby Steiner, and company including Fred Kerley, Christian Coleman, and Noah Lyles are keeping the Sport interesting and alive.

(Photo by Keith Birmingham/MediaNews Group/Pasadena Star-News via Getty Images)

Track and Field can never die. There are so many young people participating and on the cusp of making a name for themselves. Post 2024, there will be many new names in Track and Field, Male and Female. By 2028, records that seemed impossible to break will be eclipsed.

Meanwhile, there is concern about the whereabouts of Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH). Fans do not recall her being missing in action this long. Fact is, any Athlete not showing signs of readiness by July will not be ready for Budapest. If she plans to compete, now is the time to step forward.

Fans will have no problem if she decides not to compete in 2023. It will be acceptable if she takes a sabbatical and return in 2024 to attempt the 3-Peat Double of the 100M and 200M. We fans will be satisfied with that outcome. Absent knowledge of any impediment, fans are anxious for her return to the Track. At this juncture it would be nice and preferable if (ETH) schedule a Press Conference and declare her career intentions. True Fans will have no issues with her position or decision.

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.
