Official 2017 Monaco DL Discussion Thread - Oh baby what a meet

What's the point of NBC even covering the race at this point. They really ruin the sport

Watching the steeple on NBCSN & Swangard and Jim Watson are contradicting each other.

Is Evan Jager "JAGGER" as Swangard is saying or "JAY-GER" as Watson is saying?

Glad to know about the black strips under their eyes. Maybe Jager has them, but we won't know.

jay ger

Jay-ger.

So close, 8:01, with better pace making that would have been great

Jager ... 8:01 by himself. Solid run.

I'm actually fairly skeptical of that race. He looked stressed on the line, wasn't himself. I think he might only run 9.8-mid to-high at worlds... would that be good enough?

Yes, that should be good enough. Watch the video of last year's Rio 100m final.

Muir is off her indoors drugs.

Can you provide more information?

What type of drug is she taking, when did she start, where is getting the drugs from, etc., etc. Please enlighten us since you know things we don't.

THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE!

8:01 with the last few laps all alone. Gotta feel for the guy though. 2nd time SO CLOSE to breaking that 8:00 barrier. Damn.

She's got the AR by .79 sec. Nothing that the naysayers on these boards can say to diminish that. She's the best American ever, and I think she'll take down Semenya in London.

After the race Swangard (who should know better) said JAY-GER...

Oh well...they're announcing the meet from some studio in either New York, Connecticut or Colorado.

He's 28. If he doesn't do it this Summer it will never happen. He definitely is in shape now and was (the fall) poised to do it!

Jager now has top 10 american times

At least LR wont have to update their front page again

If you have some info, perhaps you should share it. Otherwise, how about you just appreciate him for what he is doing.

Jager is an absolute baller. The Kenyans will try to burn him in London but only succeed in pacing him to sub 8 and gold.
