Chelimo is so much more fun and interesting than any other distant runner.
Chelimo seems to spend a lot of energy F---ing with other runners in ways that don't quite get a DQ. I'm surprised he hasn't whipped out a cell phone and done a livestream during the race yet.
That would be epic! He should do it soon before Knighton does it in a 200.

Yeah, at the very least, if Erryon wins the final, he will hold up an invisible phone for a selfie BEFORE the finish.

When are they going to ban Mboma. This sh!t is ridiculous. 22.67 to 21.81 in a month.
When are they going to do something about it? When the record is at 20.70?
There are procedured to be followed. It took many years in Semenya's case and this might be a different situation. We don't know. Only that something must be very unusual.
Something unusual is an understatement. What 17 year old female do you know that can run 48.5 in the 400M? Heck, in all of the event how many women ran faster than 48.6? That should have been the wake up call. Mu who everyone claim is a certifiable prodigy is over a second slower in the 400M than Mboma. Only 3 Olympic women athletes have ever run faster than Mboma in the 400M. One doped, the other Miller-Uibo and Marie Jose-Perec. (I am discounting that doped WR). This screams something needs to be done.

Mboma just receiving the final late teen-to- early 20s testosterone boost. They’ll (avoiding pronouns here so as not to the offend people with such dirty things like biological facts..) be even better in the next year or so. Could even be at the level of a decent NCAA male sprinter by then. The women in any of Mboma’s races then won’t stand a chance.
Right now the WR of 21.34 is untouchable. What happens when Mboma runs 20.8 at Worlds next year? What happen to the record then?
Something has already been done, otherwise Mboma and Maslingi would have entered the 400m. I am no expert here, just saying that it took a while in the Semenya precedent and as you probably know that ban holds only for 400-mile, not for shorter or longer. I completely agree that all DSD athletes have to be addressed in all events but the Semenya affair shows that it is not so easy to just ban someone.
