I'm glad this thread is here, so I can reminisce and follow the story arc from beginning to now.
Having said that, I have no idea where any TTO track and field medals would come from in Tokyo 2020. Keshorn delivered two in a row, and that event is vastly different now than it was in 2012.
Zero medals won at this year's worlds championships (only 3 individual-event finalists 200/400/javelin). That's usually an indicator.
I have been warning about this for years.
This is what happens when you put people who aren't capable to run a sport.
Now, the inevitable will happen, and as usual, nobody will be held accountable - or be asked to step down.
Sound familiar? Seems to happen in every single aspect of TNT life lately.
The bigger question is - can any other sport in Tokyo 2020 stop the beginning of another drought?
Cycling?
We have not come home with zero medals from the Olympics since 1992.
And even after Tokyo 2020, what prospects exist for 2024?
We have a federation that has said "we only have sprinters here (false)" and they have no mechanisms in place to find foreign-based talent, either.
We have no young stars in track and field that have shown themselves capable on the next level (ZERO medals from world juniors 2018, no individual finalists)
