Official 2015 Lausanne Diamond League Live Discussion Thread

Coburn taking up the pace behind two oblivious pacemakers. One was 25m out just 200m into the race.

Flags show headwind on the back stretch. Sun is setting, in the athletes' on the back stretch as well.

Someone fire the rabbit. What a moron. Seriously. Can someone tell me how that is allowed to happen? It's not hard to have someone 100 meters into a race telling people what freaking pace tor un. They spend hundreds of thousands on these meets but not 1,000 to do the rabbits right. Why don't they pay me? Just pay my airfare and I'll stand on the infield with a watch.

Coburn is running the right pace. She was 39 for the firs 200+ to finish which is about right.

AARRGGHH!

Pacemaker goes through 1000m in 3:06, main field in 3:08. Supposed to go 3:03.

The stadium is pretty sweet. I know Nike pumps up track town USA but how is that stadium not any different than Hayward field? It looks like a better version and bigger crowd.

Anyone know the capacity of the stadium?

Not big enough. In Switzerland for the summer and Emma Coburn is from my home state, wanted to go but it was sold out. :(

clearly very windy out. I am sure that is affecting fast times.

2nd K in 3:11.

Coburn setting the pace ahead of 5 other athletes. Not pressuring the field, but content to be infront in the wind.

5:40 with 3 laps to go. They can easily still run a world leader off that. If you got 74, 74, 70 you get it.

No way. They need a huge last k.

Nyambura in the lead going into the bell. Pack of 4, Coburn forced into 3rd

Coburn still in 3rd, but if she's not in front now, she's not going to win. Ayealew made a move at 300m to go, but Nyambura got her lead back on the final curve. Coburn finishes 3rd. 9:16 for the win, last lap in 68.

Jebet in 4th fell before the final hurdle. Looked liked it hurt.

Xfinity is finally offering BeINsports so I can watch it on my tv while I type. No longer have to hook up my computer to the TV.

What's the channel number?

I don't know why the premier track series in the world has the worst live result site. I finally got it to work, temporarily at least.

Have you ever taken a transatlantic flight before? There are bound to be cobwebs. Your comments seem way too harsh.

Bartoletta wins women's long jump, running away with DL league race.

PPP, Christian Taylor, and the rest of the Tripple Jump competitors are getting ready to jump.

Men's 200m on the track. Isiah Young and Ameer Webb (2nd and 6th at USA's) take on Ashmeade, Old Man Martina and Jobodwana

Did they switch the mens 100m and 200m time slots?

My beat is on Young

Gun off.
