I'm a fan and am cheering for her, but is it time to worry yet?
At this point, seems like simply getting an Olympic trials standard is a bit of an unknown. Clearly she has the engine, and I sincerely hope she can turn things around and start getting faster again. Doubtless that surgery she had is a serious one requiring recovery that can linger well into being able to run/train again. I've talked to people who've had it say they struggled getting back to normal turnover for a considerable time, afterward.
Q: if Gwen doesn't make a 2020 Olympic team, how long before Nike effectively says, "Sorry, kid- no more drone flights over our campus" and stops funding this adventure?
