Notable names missing from the list
Surprisingly missing from the list is world 100m champion Richardson, who won a silver medal at the Paris Olympics. The American speed queen has been unarguably the face of women's sprinting since winning in Budapest last year and was a major feature in season 1, where a whole episode was dedicated to her world title victory.

Also, Jamaican legends Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Elaine Thompson-Herah are omitted despite featuring in the debut season.
Although Thompson-Herah didn't compete in Paris due to sustaining an injury a few weeks before the start of the Games, Fraser-Pryce was present and reached the 100m semifinals before withdrawing due to a hamstring injury.
)
Unfortunately, in the hours leading up to the race, videos surfaced on social media of the three-time Olympic gold medalist not being allowed into the warmup track area because she was not on the team bus.

Paris 2024: Sha'Carri Richardson and Fraser-Pryce denied entry into warmup track minutes before their semifinal race
Sha'Carri Richardson and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce were denied early entry into the warmup area due to a change of rule they were not duly notified of before their arrival.
Paris was set to be Fraser-Pryce’s final Olympics – she was trying to become the first Olympian to medal in the 100m at five consecutive Games. (In fact, Richardson is the only 100m Olympic finalist featured from Season 1).

Julien Alfred: St. Lucia's Olympic queen credits Fraser-Pryce and 'sprint-crazy' Jamaican foundation being pivotal in her track success
Meeting speed legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and going to school in a 'sprint-crazy' Jamaica, were pivotal in Julien Alfred's path to Paris 2024 Olympic and track success.
Finally, British men's 100m record holder Zharnel Hughes is missing in the initial list as well. After a breakout year in 2023, he has only managed to run a season’s best of 10.00 this year and did not advance past the semifinals of the Olympics. He was part of Team GB’s bronze medal-winning team in the 4x100m relay.
What to expect
With the inclusion of new fan favourites Alfred and Tebogo - both making history in Paris by becoming St. Lucia and Botswana's first Olympic champions, it'll be nice to watch their progress and preparations on their path to glory.
