An AFN that needed human support for starting blocks at the Olympic trials has too many metaphysical problems to handle.
It is with great regret that I have just been told I will not be competing in the 100 meters at this Olympic Games. I qualified, but those with the AFN and NOC failed to enter me. I have worked for 4 years to earn this opportunity. For what?
Dear Shawn (@CoachShawnMar), there’s no world record without you. Together, for 60 hours, we showed the world what true collaboration means, trumping competition. We picked each other up during tough moments, both mentally and physically. And you did it with so much grace.
This is a public acknowledgment and gratitude to you, my brother. Congratulations on our shared achievement.
