there was really no point in running this race for him.
no asafa, no tyson, and so on and so forth.
a world record probably wasn’t coming because most of the races had headwinds. plus he has had a mediocre year leading up to the WC.
great opportunity to protest against the new rule, plus like someone said, maybe there was some sports betting behind the scenes, that could really benefit the racers track club.
that’s my take on it.
