wow...those americans blew it. they ran faster in the semis with a weaker wind.

I guess having prelim/semi/final might still be new to them?

actually, Harrison ran a PR so good for him. Schwartz has run 10.09 so a 10.22 with a +1.2 isn't great for him.

YES! Indonesian beats Americans in the 100m final.

How did the Kenyan sprinters do?

Oh wait, that's right...

We didn't send any so, pointless. But I'm still on a high from the 10k yesterday watching Rhonex lap your boys TWICE!

re: "prelim/semi/final"

Not the issue, Americans are used to running rounds. Our athletes usually do well at World Juniors but rarely do we equal our PBs. Most Americans were at their peak a month ago and are just hanging on at this point. For NCAA freshman and the top H.S. athletes, May and June is a meat grinder. Not making excuses because athletes from other countries have a similar situation, but it is not as pronounced as in the U.S. because we are forced to constantly compete at a high level because of our depth. Also, about 1/3rd of our top junior athletes are not at this meet. Sydney, for example, could win either the 100/200/400/400h.

American runners continue with their arrogant garbage. 800m women runners claiming they should have dominated the race. USA still with the DONUT, keep winning silvers.

How did they keep track of laps for a field that spread out?

This wasn't done legitimately, though. Yo' boy Rhonex is 25-ish years old, loaded to the dorsals by a foreign coach. Kenya never fields a legit team for this meet, and must resort to cheating.

You're gonna be the one embarrassed when Rhonex gets popped like Kiprop, or, more likely, retires at the age of "22."

Nozomi MF'ing Tanaka!!!

Utterly crushes the Ethiopians. What happened to Kenya? DNS? Mwahahahahaahaaaa. Birth certificate issues?

A crushing DOMINATING performance.

This is how it's done. This is a real champion. Of age and CLEAN. Glorious.

Anyone got a video?

Just a shame Wada was denied her legitimate silver, just as the Japanese were denied their legitimate gold medals from the W 5k and M 10k run the other evening. Hope to see Kenya barred from this meet in the future. The mockery has gone on long enough.

But again,

Nozomi MF'ing Tanaka!!!!

Clean teenage dominance!!!!!!!!!

Well deserved, and great to see the whiny Americans get thrashed again.

"whiny" Americans?

You mean the ones who have to compete against 20-something-year-olds from a country with non-existent testing.

lol how whiny wanting a clean fair sport

Interview with the goddess Japanese runner who crushed the cheats and haters:

Soyboys, take note. That's what a champion looks like.

I have seen Japanese women take the early lead so many times in International competition, only to relinquish it to the dominance of East Africans. This was a truly a shocking race. 8:52 used to be nothing for Ethio and Kenyan girls. Are we finally seeing the impact of drug testing for Africans?

Sadly, no. Did you watch the men's 10k? We have a long way to to before the sport is clean.

That Japanese winner of the 3000 was legit though. So proud of her. Haven't been this happy since Yuki won Boston. She had the deck stacked against her, lined up against those of questionable age and drug use, and just CRUSHED it.

Anyone got a video? Wanna show my daughter later.

Unfair to accuse Kiplimo of being a doper without proof. If I was a Kenyan Coach, rep, official, mentor, dad or whatever. I'd tell these young guys to stay the hell away from you and your group.

Haha, El K still refuses to accept that even the Kenyan running community suspects every Kenyan of doping.

*yawn*. Coevett lying again - shocker.

its funny that all the people claiming that an 18 year old kenyan must be doping but when alan webb was 18 and ran 3:53 he was GOD. stfu unless you have proof his birth certificate is off by 7 years. you don't think the iaaf checks that shi*?

Weak analogy.

Kenya has like 3 or 4 "Webbs" every year.

The country has a history of doping, doping positives, and age-cheating. This is all a matter of public record. Learn to Google.

Also lol @ thinking the IAAF is anything but corrupt.

united states also has a history of doping and corruption so i dont see your point

Not available in my country. I guess the IAAF doesn't want track gaining popularity in the States.
