Just finished a night shift, drinking my sweet tea on the porch, watching the mist clear over the pines. Saw the news about the new qualification marks for the 800m — I get the need for standards, but I can't help thinking about the girls from our villages who train on dirt paths with no shoes, let alone a coach. Data shows that when you level the playing field, talent appears that nobody saw before. Makes me kyrduh, but also sngewbha that someone is finally asking the question.
