Olympic updates - Track and Field
2017 will be the last season for American mens 800 runner Nick Symmonds. Symmonds has decided to retire at the end of the 2017 outdoor track season.
American Ashton Eaton, who won gold in the decathlon at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games, has decided to retire from track and field along with his wife, Canadian heptathlete Brianne Theisen-Eaton. Theisen-Eaton won bronze in the heptathlon at the 2016 Rio games.
Jamaican Usain Bolt, a legend of track and field, had his 2008 Olympic 4 by 100 relay gold medal stripped because of doping by teammate Nesta Carter. Bolt now has 8 gold medals. The IOC can now strip all relay team members of medals if one teammate tests positive for performance enhancing drugs.
The IAAF has extended Russia's track and field ban past the 2017 world track and field championships in London in August. This extension has proven that Russian anti-doping measures have failed to gain traction with the IAAF. I agree with this continued ban on Russian track athletes.
