My guess is that Hurta-Klecker is pacing the 3000m. Kipyegon is in the race and I believe HK has paced two of her world records. Kipyegon probably requested her for a WR attempt. I can't see HK running a 3000m; she's only run one race longer than a mile since 2022.
Well I hope Hurta runs with her arms and hands away from the competitors as a pacesetter. Her horrendous form and arm swings may do more harm than good in keeping the women on their feet and getting any kind of records. Interesting how she used that technique to swing Akins out of her way. Definitely intentional
Ar least she’s not like Mu who proved to be a human bowling ball in several big meets, ruining many runners’ chances.
I mean if he doesn't run in Brussels that's notable because it becomes dicey to make the DL Final for him at 8 points. Otherwise running 1 of 2 makes the most sense — same as Yared. All of Lewandowski's guys are in Silesia, and it's possible none will be in Brussels making that a pretty open field. And Berardelli could travel Koech with Nelly Chepchirchir who could run the 1500m in Brussels, which might make sense.
I misread this as Kerley and got excited for a second
Exactly. With Kerley's great speed he will absolutely dominate the Marathon once he moves up. Of course the progression will be gradual: 800 for a year, 1500 for a year, 5000 for a year then he will be Marathon ready. And rumor has it Jeremy Wariner will come out of retirement to specialize in the 800.

Faith and her team literally request Sage, lol. Keep with your narrative though.
Glad someone called out the truly awful take. She's got pacing duty for 2 WRs under her belt, and keeps getting called back for more. All evidence points to being a true professional when it's come to pacing, yet this guy here is going on about how she's going to impede the race.
Next up, he'll probably have some real hot takes like "I don't like her face", or "her voice another me".
Sage is a strong 800/1500 runner. She's probably overdue for some success on the world stage, but nothing wrong with using her chops to get a few paydays with Faith along the way .
Really happy to see Kessler in the 1500m field. He and Hoey are both on for the Daniel Komen revenge tour. Myers and Laros are due for big PBs. Rooting for Tim Cheruiyot as always.
That's the only way Kessler can qualify for Tokyo. He definitely would not be here if he was top three at USAs.

It's literally the same old lady writing lies who hates on all of OAC. Clearly just jealous.
I like that Friday night set up they have, boxing the women's pole vault, high jump and shot put together. That's probably a city event at a shared venue.
Duplantis' sister is in the pole vault. She's got a personal best of 4.39. Both of the Moll twins from Washington are competing. They finally get to travel to Europe after seeing their Husky running teammates do it all summer. Amanda Moll has to be the greatest Liker on Instagram. Every post even semi-related to Washington track and field, she Likes it
BTW, the women's 100 hurdles is so deep and with all of them wanting to compete that it's frequently split into two heats before the main television window. Then the survivors advance to the final. The commentators don't always mention it.
As others have emphasized the women's 400 hurdles is essentially a world championships final preview. Good test for Bol. Cockrell and Jasmine Jones like to round into form and not show their cards early. Bol is still susceptible to underestimating them in the Tokyo final. But Dalilah Muhammad and Savannah Sutherland run hard every time. Bol has not attempted to go out fast all season. She may decide she doesn't need to do that this season, with Sydney elsewhere.
Bol said yesterday that it's disappointing Sydney has chosen 400 flat this year. It's still hilarious that Shannon Sharpe was remarkably ignorant enough to believe that Femke Bol would claim Sydney is ducking her. Classic case of applying American male peer pressure frailty and pretending the same attaches everywhere.

Have to agree with the poor form and arms swinging. Not sure if this is considered jealousy. That’s a weird interpretation. And what does this have to do with the team? Sounds like a dude calling a spade a spade.

A dude? An old lady? Surely it’s a Tuohy or Wiley troll like the one sole OAC supporter constantly claims. 😂

Hurta-Klecker’s form seems to be just fine for Faith Kipyegon, whose opinion would be much more relevant on the matter.
