Is this USA's first gold? What's happening fellas? Losing in sprints to India and Indonesia now?
We don't even have the 'junior' distinction here, or U20 as they call it now. You're either high school, collegiate, or pro. The HS and NCAA seasons are over and world juniors are unimportant here. The early days of the event weren't even streamed in the USA.
Delia Sclabas had a good meet. First legit runner to cross the line in the 1500, also a medal in the 8. One to watch.
Men's 800 was a cheating farce as per usual.
Any dudes wearing wedding rings this time?

Sclabas is a triathlete!!!!
Shades of Verzbikas, except without the sketchy age questions.
This young lady is legit. One of the most impressive athletes of the meet, alongside the unstoppable Tanaka.
This is the Ethiopian who won the steeplechase. How the heck is this guy Under 20?

KENYA!!!! We are CHAMPIONS for the fourth time. You haters can eat a BIG one.
If the U.S. played by E. African rules they woulda sent Clayton Murphy and Isaiah Harris to this meet lol. Kenya's victories mean nothing.
Haha, the bitterness of you haters/racists always claiming age cheating. You will cry till death. Clayton Murphy is an average runner, He won in a slower time than our under 20 winner Lekuta and Ngeno in that fake world cup. Maybe if USA born Brianna Williams and Armand Duplantis would have ran for u guys u would easily topped the group. In addition to your usual baton dropping relay teams. LOL

14:27 at the bell. Lobun - whom I believe the Kenyan who fell - just gave up with 300 to go. SHe's not going to medal. I thought she was just going to stop running.
Taye and Chebet - Kenyva vs Ethiopia - battle over the final 100. Very good battle. Kenyan was slightly ahead the whole way but the Ethiopian didn't give up. Kenya gold. Chebet.
