a’ja wilson winning the MVP in more than half(!!!) of her seasons played in the league and winning the championship in a third(!!!) of her seasons played in the league is legitimately nuts

Five Swedish track and field athletes are filing suit against the Swedish Olympic Committee (SOC) for what they deem is 'a clear violation of the Olympic Charter.'
After nine athletes, despite meeting the World Rankings quota outlined by the IOC, were denied selections to the Olympic team by the SOC, five of them filed a joint suit.

“Enough is enough. Stop with the age discrimination (the 25 and under age criteria). Stop with the nonsense (top 12 criteria). Please make it clear on how to get selected for the Games!
It’s not only a shame, but bizarre that @SWEOlympic, would choose to have zero Swede’s in the women’s 1500m instead of sending me. They would rather have 0 men in the steeple chase instead of sending 3(!!). What message does this send to the next generation of middle-distance runners in Sweden? Make it make sense (you can’t)
For now I’m not okay💔…but I will let my feelings come and go until I am. Unfortunately I’ve done it before, and I can do it again.”
Yolanda Ngarambe (@yolleboll) calls out the Swedish Olympic Team for not naming her to the team for the Paris Olympics. She had a season’s best of 4:05.19 from June and was 10th in the European Championship 1500m final. She qualified via World Ranking.

This is why I'm pro-Trials.
You risk heartbreak, but I'd take that over this nonsense.
One thing the US leads the way on.

“I still love running. Even when it hurts, even when it’s hard. It’s still so fun. Getting out there and pushing myself and just running free and fast, and working with my teammates.”
