So your timeline is from 2020-2022 for JB that includes training specific to the MTR demands of competition of which he won a gold medal . I’m not going to take much from his performances and I’m not going to suggest he and AB were training to same demands.
It’s very very rare to win big time at itu and LC at the same time. Usually one of the energy systems will suffer.
Add in his “heat issues” post Cozumel and the fact that he still is racing itu extremely well, I think it’s a poor decision to bring him into the discussion.
Eta: so I think looking at it from a coaching standpoint, JB LC career is very much TBD, he hasn’t even “transitioned” to LC fully. So any judgement seems rather invalid while AB has many LC races to make a better judgement.
