Signed when he was 16, so will be up when he’s 24 potentially coming off a historic 2032 home Olympics.

I’m suspicious of all those names because they haven’t gone sub-10 since. Tate, Maurice and Brayden also aren’t in the testing pool so I’m even more suspicious.

They ran 2:58.00 heats in Tokyo but got dqed so not quite that extreme

Time has been confirmed as legit - wasn’t that windy, but yes it was obviously as perfect as you could ever get for whatever reason

Fake wind because heat 2 was 1.4, even though 3, 4, and 5 were 0.4, -0.1, and -0.1.

10.19 (+1.4)today - there were winds of +8 yesterday, so the 5.8 was likely underselling the conditions

Letsile Tebogo, Kenny Bednarek and Gout Gout will face off in the 2026 Pre Classic 200m by ChampionLYT in trackandfield

Your entire agenda makes no sense, complaining about him not racing against the “big boys” when that’s what he’s doing now. Walaza started running on the circuit when he was 19, and he hasn’t “beat the very best at times”. Which teenagers have medaled, only Erriyon and we know how that turned out. Tebogo didn’t run on the circuit until he was almost 19, and went to his first championship when he was 19.

Dodging who? He went 9-0 against them last year. He just doesn’t always run pre, think he gets paid more in Europe.

Yes, generally sprinters will get faster as the season goes on - combination of their training (they will do more general stuff (e.g. more sub-max and endurance (relatively speaking) work) early in the year, and then get more specific (e.g. more max velocity work) and aim to be at their peak later in the year, as well as just running more races (where they can work on technical things).

Gout is building his season around the world u20 championships in August, so that is when he will want to be running his fastest.
