I remember Yohan Blake being a beast with the braids.. he was probably doping. I remember this Canadian dude being the heir to Usain Bolt.. He looked very average
Gabby Thomas about to run.. the way this Olympics has been going, she may not even make the finals. do a good job.
Unless you're a household name, I feel like these Olympics have been lacking star power, through no fault of the individual athletes. Aside from Ledecky and Biles, I can't remember the last time another female athlete from the U.S. had a headline, going into their events. Sunisa Lee only did so because she won. I don't think it's a gender thing, since Dressel kinda came outta nowhere, to win his swimming medals. Don't really remember the media covering Dressel extensively, the way they covered Phelps.
She is. She was a heptathlete before switching to hurdles. See Dr. of Dunk beat me to it. Here's a track pic of her.
