Reekie wasted Keely's shot at gold, sitting on the inside rail the whole time, clearly never had a chance to be in the kick for a medal. If Keely had run the rail behind Mu like Reekie did, she would have had a clear path to the inside rail pass we knew would be there because Mu loves the outside of lane 1. Could have made it very close with Moraa.
lol at these Keely droolers. No one made Keely run on the outside. Reekie ran smart, Keely didn’t.
He says it's frustrating to be in a position where you have to run a better race than the others (tactically) in order to win, instead of just running on strength alone. Nevertheless, he's satisfied with winning and running a perfect race tactically.
😂 it must be demoralizing to have to run a good tactical race to win worlds
what was the plan? what you do obviously is lay down a 22high in 200m and 49 mid in the 400 in gradually improving races and two weeks out, come to your peak. and with natural improvememt in aerobic ability, you have the 154 or even 153.
if she stuck to the rail she would have silver. but she was only the 3rd best in the field in any case.
if mu was sick or injured, well that would make sense. and admirable, this is usually the case with undereperforming,
however, if she is healthy, she needs to refocus and regroup and ditch here current environment completely.
very interested to see how mu comes off this. i think that undefeated streak was a gigantic gorilla on her back and she was terrified of losing. Hopefully this takes that edge off. She could be better than ever if that's the case.
Agreed that would do her good in the long run (no pun intended) and hopefully that would reignite her passion for racing.
A lot of ppl mentioned it before worlds but I truly don’t think she is happy in her current situation. I get her wanting to get out of that college setting and be an adult but she’s 21? She looked more bubbly, more personable, overall happier. I don’t think she got worse from a running standpoint, I think her mentals are just bad from the lack of racing and probably her training group that it screwed her mind up. I also don’t think Kersee can coach anywhere past 200 runners with Felix being an exception but
I said Moraa was favourite. How she can surge so often is a mystery to me, she's freakishly good. Feel a bit sorry for Keely, she's becoming another Girma
Keely unfortunately could not get to Reekies inside position behind the top 2 until late. Might’ve been a different story had she not been having to surge/go wide as often as she did. By Moraa standards, pretty straightforward race. She didn’t fight for the lead and followed Mu’s even pace without having to yo-yo.
Almost certain Athing and Brandon broke up. Looked like she was going through it emotionally this entire season. Barely seen her smile and this may be why. hope she doesn’t beat herself up too much about bronze
Makes sense. Looks like BM scrubbed her off his IG.
what a bunch of wheeeening people in here. Jakob just said on norwegian tv he was proud of winning this, while not feeling well the last four days. And it is a fantastic accomplicement to win here, in this heat, while not being 100%. That says everything about how great an athlete he is. Whatever body language he does, you find some suspicious mean interpretation from it. I dont care. Norway is proud of one of the worlds best ever runners

Did you see the move Moraa made at around 300? She just steamed past Reekie and Keely, and almost took Mu

On the NBC broadcast he said his win was “bittersweet” because he isn’t feeling well.
