We’ve changed the thread title many times. At one point, it was called: Tokyo 2025 World Athletics Championships Day 8 Live Discussion Thread - US men bomb out of 4 x 400, Jamaica men bomb out of 4 x 100
Chebet!!! FTW in 14:54. If she can out kick Faith in a race that slow, she is unbeatable. Shelby with a great run.
It will be quite the story if Battocletti ever gets DQd for testing positive for Nandrolone- the same drug that both Shelby and Batocletti’s father tested positive for.
Was that a 5k race or a 3 lap race after a warm-up?
I don't remember you making such comments about Beamish, drongo.

That would leave quite a sour taste, seing Shelby end up with a medal.
Extremely impressive run by Houlihan to lead 80% of the race and still beat powerhouses like Tsegay and Ngetich. She may very well be in sub 14:20 shape which is what she said. 4th is about as good as she was going to finish today.

Extremely weird comment. Almost like you're hoping this happens. This comes immediately after you celebrate a winner from a country with 400+ doping busts.
rojo got a point though:
Kenya - Kenya - doped father/absurd progression - doper - Ethiopia - NOP coach - Kenya
Kypyegon ran poorly, spent too much energy to podition herself.
Still, Chebet last 200 is too much for her, Kypyegon might need to make it a last hard 800 to win.
Yeah, I don’t see how she could have won here, but she did way too much. A ton of running in lane 2/3, and why would you lead out the 10000 wr holder in a slow race?

None of them can be trusted to be clean. What would be fun would be to see Houlihan incur a second violation - like Gatlin did.

What is this comment even? Are you implying that she's dirty? She's been super consistent and talented her entire career, even winning Euro XC U20 as a 17 year old.
people read too much into Chebet's 3:54. the 1500 is VERY specific. She had neither the training or experience in it. She can put it together to Challenge Faith's times if she sets her mind to it.

Who knows if she’s clean, but if you choose to be coached by a doper you invite criticism and suspicion.
