Aside from the 4mps headwinds you mean? Or the U of T guys sending security guards around to keep coaches from their athletes before their races? Or telling the men there’ll be 3 semis of 8 in the 100m and then changing their minds the next day, throwing out 8 athletes who took them at their word and qualified accordingly? Or that only 4 athletes qualified for Berlin? Or that the term “high performance” is being used in conjunction with this dog and pony show?
Bruce Kidd (U of T AD) was quoted as saying he wanted to “bring back the 1960s”.
Well, they’re back!!
Gerrard Mach dragged track and field out of the morass and into the modern era and the high results we once had were a direct result.
How pissed he must be to see what they’ve done to all his work.
I’ll give just one example:
“Father of the Children” policy. Gerrard mandated that team coaches would be selected based soley on how many athletes they put on the team and how good those athletes were. Spaces were filled from top to bottom.
Of course all the incompetents wouldn’t be selected to a snot fight as a shield, so that was the very first policy the incompetents went after and sabataged. In Beijing the team coaches actively tried to prevent personal coaches from having any contact with their own athletes!

Oh wow I just noticed that, 3 guys I knew didnt run semis, and they had 24 qualfiiers in the heats results but only 16 in the semis. wowwwwww.

But isnt the country allowed to have one athlete run if they have the B standard?
