People, traditionally the 60m indoors or otherwise has never been the priority of most Jamaican athletes for various reasons. I am not surprised, but I am surprised that everyone is.

[Pagetravelfitness]

You mean nobody wants to run indoors and risk serious injuries! I’m happy they’re not running 😅!

[kohane]

I’m a track fan but I don’t care much for indoor track, for me senior track starts in may or June, so this doesn’t bother me if the high level Jamaicans is not there to compete.

Let me tell y'all a little story. I follow the Dodgers Baseball team that just left for Japan to play 2 games this weekend. Not only are they flying in a top class luxury plane, they're being given compression sweatsuits for proper blood circulation, blue light goggles and a certain type of vitamin to induce restful sleep for an 11 hour flight. The trip to Nanjing China where WIC is being held is more that 24 hours and I'm sure our athletes will be flying coach. For an athlete like Kishane....thats a recipe for a sure injury. Matter of fact....IF all our athletes sit this one out...I'm for it.

T, after Usain retires track and field to me was getting boring, but since i started watching TxT and other tracks podcast, the interest started to rebuild.so, if you start to get bored, automatically viewers and subscribers will also feel the same, so as a request keep the interest alive yaah gwaan good thus far don't drop the party hat

[delroytomlinson]

Traditionally was the indoors ever a priority for Jamaica? What You talking about T? World Indoors was never such a big deal, especially with outdoor worlds coming up.

[salishapurcell]

You are so right, it's really getting boring, all of a sudden the top athlete's don't want to run. It's killing the sports,

[visjahbless]

U are underestimating our talent pool. And the point of getting other athletes to get the chance to shine when we lease expect.

[ReactionZone]

We are talking about priorities and injury risk. But then I wonder what the essence is of even watching this sport. Just Imagine having to wait almost 1 year to see your fav athlete perform 3 times a year. To me that is one of the main reasons why this sport is dying. Soccer players sprints for 90 min and sometimes plays more than 30 matches a year. And you think there is an excuse for these athletes?

[philjames]

From another athlete....the active races (60m) are important for the "big" races, as they give a sense of competition. Look at the

Queen Tee, I’m devastated that my princess Jacious Sears isn’t running. The second Fast Princess of America. I want to see Tia Clayton vs Jacious Sears. Jacious 7.02 was a world lead, now someone ran 7.01 last week. Sears could be the next ShaCarri Richardson with a faster start. But I still love my ShaCarri.

[latoyaburchell]

Jacious will be running at Grand Slam. All these athletes are saving themselves for GST and I can’t blame them.

[Chris-fhbu]

It's a very long season. We have to be smart, and tun up for world champs. I trust our coaches.

[Nikki_Fran]

Track is not getting boring. It’s a championship year. Nobody wants to risk injuries.

[Dunoonking]

Too much social media that's the problem, the social media why run when you can make money from social media.

[oswaldcole]

Listen, T, we're not going to burn the athletes out on indoor championships. We were born and created for outdoor meets. Running indoors will get hour athletes injured. Trust me, I have been there and done that.😢

[longbranch]

At this point and people wondering why track and field is almost dead

[Objectivity-wj]

Tee... have some patience. You're putting too much stock into the indoor season when Jamaica traditionally doesn't send their best. Save any disappointment you may have IF they start missing OUTDOOR events. Think of it this way...If Kishane goes and gets hurt after flying halfway around the world and taking two full days to travel, you would feel worse not having him there to represent in September.

[artdogg]

Pretty disappointed Jacious isn't running, as well as Tia. Could have sworn I heard Jacious say she wanted to run. Maybe I misinterpreted what she said or her coaches simply pulled her? Tia is running very very well, and I thought she could win. At least we got to see both of them early. I wasn't honestly expecting to see either of them early.

[raqueldavis]

Dem ah go Grand Slam and mek some money, lol
