It is one of the strongest values for the future of world athletics. Until now, he had competed in all international events under the colors and protection of the United States. but surprisingly Canada has announced that at the Oregon World Cup, precisely in the United States, Gran Fisher will compete as one of their own. The holder of the American Record of the 10,000 meters has both nationalities, but has chosen the Canadian to try to achieve both metals in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters at the legendary Hayward Field in Eugene. She will do it together with her inseparable training partner at the Nike Bowerman Track Club, also Canadian Mo Ahmed.
Ran the Games for Team USA
Although Fisher was on Team USA at the Tokyo Olympics, he has recently commented that he has valued a change for a while. “Representing the United States is, and always will be, an honor”Fisher said, “but it’s time for me to go back to my roots, make my parents proud and represent the Reds and Whites. Also, it’s time for Athletics Canada to feature someone other than Moh on their Instagram account,” she added with a bit of a sneer.
Fisher finished in the TOP-10 in both the 10,000 and 5,000 Olympics in Japan (9th and 5th, respectively) and has recently set the American records for the 5,000 indoor (12.53.73) and 10,000 outdoor (26.33.84) .
Fisher has commented that he will continue training in Oregon with his trainer Jerry Schumacher, as both aim to build on the athlete’s recent breakthrough. Schumacher said he noticed his athlete was acting differently lately, showing an unprecedented level of loyalty to his homeland.
