Athletes To Watch

It is worth noting that due to the COVID pandemic, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics were held in 2021.

Sha’Carri Richardson (USA): Richardson tested positive for cannabis and missed the 2020 Games. She’ll look for gold in the 100-meter dash this year.

Shericka Jackson (Jamaica): Jackson might miss The Games after a recent injury. If she participates, she will be a strong contender for gold being the fifth-fastest woman in history in the 100-meter dash and the second-fastest in the 200-meters.

Lamont Marcell Jacobs (Italy): Jacobs won gold in two sprinting events in 2020, claiming first in both the 100-meter dash and the 4×100.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen (Norway): Ingebrigtsen claimed gold in the 1,500-meter dash in 2020.

Jasmine Camacho-Quinn (Puerto Rico): The 100-meter hurdle star became the first Puerto Rican of Afro-Latino descent and the second person representing Puerto Rico to win Olympic gold in 2020.

Gianmarco Tamberi (Italy) and Mutaz Essa Barshim (Qatar): The two leapers shared high jump gold at the 2020 Tokyo Games. Can one of them claim it for themselves this year?

Damian Warner (Canada): The 34-year-old won gold in the decathlon in 2020. Can he repeat the feat three years later?
