Honestly makes sense that the 1500m runners performed well. A lot easier to rely on your strength this early in the season, no way the 800 runners are anywhere close to sharp yet.
Hiltz getting 1st was huge. If Hiltz had gotten 2nd place, I would've said Hull was in the driver's seat being only 2 points back, but 6 points back is quite substantial. Literally the only way to make up 6 points is by Hull winning.
The distance races will not survive in this format if it’s all Africans coming over to farm Venture Capital dollars. No one cares about the top three here, and viewership will reflect that.
Sounds racist. Fast is fast, why aren't they supposed to get a shot at the $? Are you suggesting they ban the Africans so the slower Americans can draw a bigger crowd?
Agreed.
Why should they make it the special white games? Do some runners only like athletes who look like them.
The women's 800 was a GREAT race, largely due to the presence of Wetelji leading out and then running Hiltz to the line.
Good Lord. Yes, this crowd is awful but you people are being incredibly negative. Give some grace to sort out the production and filler time. Y’all b*tch about tracks lack of popularity and as soon as someone tries to pioneer something to new to address these complaints y’all are the still the biggest complainers.
