I haven't been keeping up. I only watch T&F during the Olympics and World Championships.

Is Athing Mu really washed already? That would be so sad. She looked like she would become the GOAT female 800m runner.

I hear news that Sydney McLaughlin is doing great in the 400 flat. Is that true?

Abbie got used up and turned out before she even left college.
58 races breh. Nasty
At least she won a lot on her way out :mjcry:


But I’ve always wondered what happens to these athletes that have very short careers.. how do they eat? Do they transition to normal 9-5s? Become coaches?

For US/Collegiate/University athletes I guess it depends on what kind of degree they were doing at college. Was it a BS one to just concentrate on sports or was it a real one.

Take Laura Muir she is a qualified veterinary surgeon.

But yes Coaching is the natural progression. Probably easier to do in America due to the competitive nature of High School and College sports. Many become PT's. Daley Thompson was a fitness trainer post career with Wimbledon (Crazy Gang Fashanu Vinnie Jones era)
