I know. I wasn’t making a prediction. Just expressing a wish. It may be unlikely but I can still hope for it. Narve only finished three hundredths of a second behind Jakob in Budapest, so maybe there’s a small chance he can beat him.
I still don't understand how Nordas mades such a massive improvement that year, yet has gone backwards this year. I haven't read of any claimed injury problems or health issues.
Also after a breakout year it is not uncommon for athletes to regress. Josh Kerr from 2021 to 2022. Oly bronze to WC 5th or smth.
