- Jakob Ingebrigtsen were you watching? Jake Wightman 1:43.65. Was Ingebrigtsen the biggest loser in Brussels?
- Ireland's Ciara Mageean Goes Sub-4 For the 1st Time In Style - 3:56.63 FTW!!!!!!

Ciara Mageean with an EPIC upset
Mageean is 30 years old and had never run under 4:00.15 yet she went 3:56.63 to pull the huge, huge upset.
What a run.

Pacing lights are such a game changer for these fast races. Pretty much guarantees the pace will be hot untill 3K and as long as someone keep following the lights during the 4th K it will be a quick finishing time. So many times these DL races would get derailed with poor and uneven pacing, and then guys would back off after the pacers drop.
Easier said than done obviously.

I know he didn't medal at Worlds, but is this the greatest track season by an American distance runner in the professional era (counting Lagat as mid-d)?
So many ARs. My goodness.

So the graphic said the green light is 12:50 pace. That mean 3k in 7:42.00.
One thing different about this versus things in the past is with the pacing lights, things should be almost dead even. I'm not believing the 2:34-2:31 thing they keep talking about.

Jackline Chepkoech is one to watch. World Junior Champ in 2021. Comm Games champ this year, and now PB down to 9:02. Might be the next star in the event.
