If I’m Kessler - I run the 1500 at the Olympics with a new found confidence. I don’t think any of us expected Kessler to be 1:43.xx in the semi and back it up in the 800 final with another PB. It’s one thing to do this through 3 rounds - it is a completely different beast to run 3 1500 rounds beforehand and then produce this result.
Honest talk, how many guys have run 3:31/1:43 in T&F history. How many of them dropped a 1:43 after 6 races in 8 days?
Oh good, another qualifier with a victim complex and “haters” when almost no one actually knew who she was until 10 minutes ago
Fake fan spotted. Johnson and Russel both have large crowds of people who do NOT like them. Go look through the comments on their insta and tiktok accounts lmao
Yeah looking at the points situation it's kind of grim. To add to his issues, Jakob, Narve and Adel Mechaal are all currently not auto Q guys and are currently taking spots in the quota.
I don't see any path unless as you said, he finds a quick one later tonight...

The A-T list has to be single digits, right?
Many people can run 1:43 and 3:31. Doesn't matter.
You think he has better chances in the 1500 than the 8? I don't...
Long term yes…Short-term it’s a toss-up. The best 4-5 guys in the 800 are sensational. We’re sleeping on it a bit because the 1500 has been the more marquee event. 1:43.6 is cool but there are four 1:42.5 runners active.
Its always funny to hear track runners talk about "haters" as if this sport is big enough to have haters lmao, was she reading random youtube comments or browsing this forum?
but they told masai russel she was trash because she signed with nike.
