2026 Track Results

In my opinion Eddie Nketia is not loyal. He ran for New Zealand, Then he quit athletics for Rugby. Then he quit Rugby and took a track
scholarship in the US. Then when he was done with school he changes countries to run for Australia. He is talented but a bit of a head case in my opinion. Then you have a guy like Rohan Browning who has been running for Australia for a decade. I prefer that to guys that keep switching their allegence every year or two.

On top of that I have always said that we should have true countrymen running for their nation & not imports.
i don't like that either - optimising his chances by his choices. What it did comprehensively show to the unwashed athletic public was that hype about how quick "fast Eddie" is was all formed based on his over the limit wind times in the U.S. He did OK with his new 10.03 PB but the final showed he can't touch Kennedy as yet.
I constantly corrected everyone who wrote tripe like that and explained the reality of how the sprints work (I don't know how many listened :rolleyes:) ........ but the Australian selectors weren't ever going to jeopardise our relay chances by parachuting him in - good for them.
