OK I have questions. How can you be denied appeal like that? That is a crucial right. Are the AIU delays documented here just normal bureaucracy? And finally, what is 5ng/ml? Do I really have to start freaking out every time I visit a food truck?

@Cyresy_10 @bennyflanagan @theXCorg @ReebokBostonTC @TheTerminalMile @michael_rochus This was a fantastic interview! Thoroughly enjoyed on my walk this evening (and timed perfectly). So awesome knowing that Ben, Luc and Kieran are going to fight like hell for that spot but at the same time they’ll all be the first in line to congratulate who ever gets it.

Man... @jastaehli has absolutely grinded her way to SUB-15. 15:02 3 weeks ago 15:01 2 weeks ago 14:57.50 today. Oh, and 🇨🇦 @aseccafien beat Staehli by one spot, also in a PB: 14:57:07. Four Canadian women under 15 this year... this is nuts.

Holy.. @gstafford13 is on🔥in Portland. 1:58.70, wins over a stacked field, and gets her 3rd (!) Olympic standard (also qualified for the 1,500 and 5,000). She is now the fourth-fastest 800m runner in 🇨🇦 history.

That 8:22:00 3,000m steeplechase Olympic standard is elusive. A pair of 🇨🇦 athletes, @JohnGay96 (8:23) and @queendesgagnez (8:24) knocking at the door at tonight’s Portland Track Festival. So far, only Matt Hughes is qualified for Tokyo in the event.

🚨NEW - The Rings: Edition 2 In this week’s newsletter, @Cyresy_10 and @mdfdoyle pod about which six marathoners @AthleticsCanada should bring to Tokyo. Then, why Dick Pound’s suggestion that athletes get priority access to vaccines has aged well. thexc.org/the-rings-edit…

Joshua Cheptegei attempted to break Daniel Komen's 3,000m WR of 7:20.67. He was on pace at mile (3:55), then fell off. Closed in 65 to run 7:33. Cheptegei has 5,000m and 10,000m WRs. Conclusion: Komen's record pace (58.7 sec/lap) is TOUGH - maybe toughest in distance running.

Nearly a 20-sec PB for @bennyflanagan at @sound_running track meet. Fifth-fastest 🇨🇦 ever over 10,000m. Flanagan is still 21 sec off Olympic standard, but this result will help him climb World Athletics ranking. So far, @Moh_Speed is the only 🇨🇦qualified for Tokyo in 10,000m.
