LOS ANGELES (USA): US sprint star Michael Norman confirmed in an recent interview with trackandfieldnews.com that he is more likely not thinking about 200/400 double at Olympic Games. “Yeah, it’s definitely not favorable. It’s definitely a challenging thing to do. Is it impossible? No, but the way it’s set up, will it hinder the effects of one of the events? Yeah, most definitely. I think a lot of people just see the schedule as, OK, it’s just 6 races, but you know, to us athletes, it’s more than just 6 races. It’s 6 opportunities where we have to warm up and cool down. Looking at the schedule it’s not impossible, but it’s definitely not favorable. It’s something that has to be very thought-out and one has to be prepared to do so,” says Norman. He also spoke about him running more 100 m races. “I really want to run the 100, but I have a lot of unfinished business to do in the 400. So I feel like if I left that group right now, I would just be kicking myself. Long story short: yes, that is the goal. And also if I get this gold this next coming year in the 400, I’m for sure running the 100 the next year. No doubt about it, but don’t be surprised if I run a few 100s this year just for fun.” Norman improved this year in the 100 m to 9.86 what remained 2020 World Lead.

Should Michael Norman do the 100 and 400 at the 2021 Olympics? ðŸ‘€ðŸ‡¯ðŸ‡µ
