    It is much tougher to make an Olympic team than you think. In most cases, the best athlete in the history of your high school wasn’t even close. Realistically, you aren’t going to make it. So you need a broader life plan. I advise athletes to do three things. Prepare fully and never cut corners. Race bravely and give everything you have. Then you must accept the results, whatever they may be. There are no accidents and there are no excuses.

    Often times we see Athletes from smaller Countries competing at the Olympics who are living their Olympic Dream but based on their performance they could not have possibly hit the standard to get in. Now I'm glad they have inclusiveness for all countries to be represented at the Olympic Games, but is there a sort of waiver for those Athletes to bypass the Olympic Trials Qualifying Standards?

    If you're not top 3 in the olympic trials in the U.S.A, then can you go and try to make the trials in a different country and race for that country in the olympics if you want?

      You have to be a citizen of the country that you represent. So for those that have dual citizenship, I think you could do that.

    • @SDloco100
      @SDloco100 3 роки тому +5

      You have to be a citizen of the other country and there’s a waiting period of like one year or something like that before you can start representing your new country per world athletics rules. So you can’t simply switch between countries immediately after failing to make a national team you’ll have to wait till the next Olympics.

    • @wafelsen
      @wafelsen 3 роки тому +1

      Because 1500 is a "rounder" number, like why there is a 5000 meter and not a 4000 meters. I could argue that the track is still 400 m so 4 full loops makes more sense than 3.75 loops, but OTOH the same case could be made for 10 full loops (4000 m) instead of 12.5 loops (5000 m).
