wish we had a better medal chance in the 1500m so it'd get more coverage. my favorite race with the best mix of speed + tactics imo.
Same here. Absolutely love the 1500 as it's such a gutty race. I was a 800 guy in high school and tried the 1500 one meet... first and last time I ever ran that in competition lol. Absolutely nuts.
there are actually, like scientific studies and shit, saying that a high degree of self-efficacy is a distinguishing trait between elite athletes and non-elite athletes
Bol could spoil it much like Dos Santos could tonight. I think Dos Santos has a better chance than Bol cause I don't see anyone beating Sydney but regardless, it's all going to be awesome
Why is there no carryover in shot put/discus throwers at this level? Is it so technical you can’t be world class at both
Fred is just such a laughably bad 200m runner for how great he is at 100 and 400. He’s run like 2 good 200’s his entire career
Alright...spicy prediction alert. Ingebritgtsen isn't the only Norwegian who's going to be upset tonight. 1. Dos Santos 2. Benjamin 3. Warholm Hope I'm wrong
Had a feeling about Dos Santos.....did not see Warholm hitting a wall like that. Had no clue Bassitt was in the running for 3rd. Damn what a race. I've gotta rewatch that like 10 more times
Rai has gotta be like...wtf man?!? First he runs the 2nd fastest time in history and loses to Warholm. Then he finally beats Warholm but gets surpassed by Dos Santos. Now he's gotta try and beat both of them in the future plus he's got another, younger, American who's going to be nipping at his heels.
Rai is 24, he’ll be fine, dude has a lot of great racing left in him. He wasn’t exactly healthy all year either.
Tomorrow night https://worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-championships/oregon22/timetable
It's always on TV... eventually. Some is live like tonight and tomorrow, but like the last two nights they were on the cock live then replayed late at night so you can still DVR and catch everything. Definitely not ideal but I can't blame anyone for not wanting another subscription even if it's just for a month.
Yes, she's currently ranked #2 in the world. But her season best is pretty bad. Sportfan may know why
Health issues, but shes more dangerous than Emma, I’m rooting for both and the fact that I have a hot take on womens 3000m steeple is more of a reflection on where I’ve gone wrong in my life than anything. Like Emma can win a slow race but she cannot break 9min which basically means she cannot compete at this level if anyone makes the race honest.
Also holy shit just realized Caster Semenya is running the 5k?!? Fucking silly rules, I’d have love to see how far she could push Athing in the 800m.
