U.S. citizenship on June 26 and Haitian citizenship on June 27; June 30 is the deadline for the Paris Olympics, and the transfer of nationality after that can only be reserved for the next Olympics. In just three days, women's 100m hurdles Chatfield achieved her Olympic dream!
On May 23 this year, Chatfield ran 12.72 seconds in the NCAA Division I Championships, breaking the Olympic A standard. But at this time, she is still an American athlete, and the American athlete running 12.72 seconds is nothing at all.
Fortunately, Chatfield had the foresight to naturalize Haiti long ago, and according to Article 4.2.1 of the World Athletics Representative Membership Rules, the date of naturalization will expire on June 26.
Chatfield has finally arrived, and she can represent Haiti in international competitions from June 27th! Her first international tournament as a Haitian player was a guest appearance at the Jamaican National Championships on June 29.
The 13.22 seconds result is not very good, and the national championships will not allow foreigners to advance, but what does it matter? It was her international debut as a Haitian international.
According to the final figures, nearly 20 women's 100m hurdles athletes in the United States reached the standard of 12.72 seconds. If Chatfield had not decisively naturalized Haiti, where would he have represented the United States at the Olympics?
If you put it in the United States or so, you will be the number one person in Asia. Wu Yanni ran 12.74 seconds in the national championships, and Lin Yuwei ran 12.74 seconds in the Hangzhou Asian Games, which are the two strongest Asian results in the Paris Olympics qualification period, but there is still a 0.02 second gap compared to Chatfield.
In order for Chinese players to achieve the basic goal of reaching the semi-finals, such a player who is half a pound or two with himself must win. If Chatfield is grouped with the Chinese player, it will have to take her to the death! If we hadn't been together, we wouldn't have been able to lose to her in the air dialogue!
