Haha it's not a problem at all Better than just me posting in here all the time... I like keeping up with American affairs too!

Jodie won Silver at both the Commonwealth Games and European Championships last year in the 200 (coming second to Okagbare/Schippers), smashing her PB in pretty much every race she ran last year. She dabbled about with doing some 4x400 relays too. She hasn't run at all this season due to injury, idk if she plans to run at the Worlds or not.

She is definitely progressing though, and I can't wait for her and Dina to have a showdown!

I heard about that Candace girl... she is definitely one to watch in the future for sure.

Also Troy please tell me you do not support Gatlin and Gay and all the other irrelevant has-beens that should've been banned for life years ago.

the only thing I support about Tyson Gay is his bubble butt tbh.

But yeah, the drug cheat stuff is why I can't fully get behind Kaylin Whitney (the girl who broke high school records in the 100/200 last year as a sophomore and went pro. Candace Hill broke her 100 record this year.) She's been training with Star Athletics, which is Dennis Mitchell's track club that Damu Cherry and Justin Gatlin are associated with. All three are drug cheats so it naturally makes you suspicious of everyone involved.

Speaking of drug suspicions, there's been a hell of a lot of stuff going on with the Nike Oregon Project, one of the best distance groups in the country. Alberto Salazar (who is controversial enough as it is) is under suspicion mainly for stuff with Galen Rupp. It's also interesting that Mary Cain (the American equivalent of Jessica Judd as I understand) has left NOP and Lauren Fleshman has come out and talked about how Salazar took her to one of his doctors to get her diagnosed with asthma and then told her how she should take her asthma medicine.

Fun fact, my father coached Tiffany Porter's husband in high school!

Yeah the whole Oregon thing sounds messy tbh

Omg Jeff Porter? That's so cool... he seems like a nice guy too, unlike some American athletes (y'all know the ones)
