The Indian NR is 45:21 and they just ran 2:59. Not buying it, that place is going to be Kenya ×100. Honesty and fairness are not culturally held high there. And before someone calls me a racist, I mean they themselves do not value it
Well then it should be a seamless transition as they and China displace the U.S.
Ehhh. Watching the replay - Kinyamal ran stupid that first 250m and was tying up BAD. The Italian had a little opening on the inside and took advantage. I didn’t see anything dirty.
Kinyamal shot his load wayyy too early trying to catch Jamaicans
I'm not sure why India qualifying is a surprise at all. They ran 3:00 for an Asian record in Tokyo and have gotten significantly better since then both in terms of depth and talent. Indian middle distance has taken off in the past few years - the Indian women are REALLY gonna surprise some people on the next few years.
The big surprise here is Japan not qualifying. They came in as a favorite for a medal.
These commentators crack me up. "Don't go out too hard and make up the stagger. It gets the crowd roar at 250, but then the piano shows up on your back. WOW look Nigeria is running very well." Nigeria immediately proceeds to fade HARD on the home stretch and pass the baton in like 7th place.

Its different there, I mean the everyday culture of the people, not just the government, I lived there for a few years. Its funny to see people downvote who are actually culturally ignorant. Life is viewed differently and its difficult to understand for those who haven't lived there. Integrity and honest is not appreciated, they have different values to westerners and those aren't included, not hating at all, its their culture but it will be a problem in sports

I wonder what it is, if you can explain. I know in Korea people have a really hard time working with Indians and then don't want to cause they're seen as dishonest which then turns into racism. Like something minor would be them saying they'll show up at a certain time and then they don't.
