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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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. The Tail Gate Partycontinues.
