TBH the wavelight should be more controversial than the spikes. But to be honest it's a world record attempt, of course they should have literally perfect pacing. In regular races they should stick to actual pacers IMO
For reals. The wave don't lie:
AP TIMES
1 1:00.70
2 1:01.70
3 1:00.64
4 1:00.41
5 1:01.25
6 1:00.91
7 1:00.03
8 1:00.10
9 1:00.18
10 1:00.33
11 59.97
12 59.64
Incredible pacing.
That 1000m from Kipyegon is insane. 2:29. IOC probably feels real squimish now
The announcers didn't seem to know how close she was to breaking the WR.
more identify nike athletes lining up for the chase...

I guess they don't do their research on the live results website ahead of time...

All right y'all convinced me, spikes don't make the runner and this WR is legit.
Bekele's will always be impressive, going from 3k out, but Cheppy is the new WRRRRRR!!!!!
Nope, they're pogo shoes. Definite advantage. Poing, poing...

well, obvious the wavelight helps. I'm surprised this was just allowed into races with no discussion. Definitely takes out the human error of pacing that used to always occur
yeah the laser pacing is pretty bs, but cheptegei still prob. would've broke it. Like they were ahead of the laser half the time

I wasn't able to find the telecast in time for the 800m, but they showed the finish and Hoppel looked so easy, smiling and it almost seemed as if he was not wanting to upstage Brazier; he looked that good. NCAA champs in the 800m so often run 1:45 or high 1:44. Only a few get down to the low 1:44s. He'd already done that last year, but what he's done now is what even the best NCAA champs almost never do. Symmonds, a D3 champ, was stuck in the mid to high 1:43s for years until 2012. Hoppel dropped a second from his pr here. He looks very much sub 1:43 capable the way he looked here. A bright future for the U.S. in the 800m.

Does it? Seemed to be significant human error in the men's 1500m pacing.

Considering how the virus is more under control in Europe than in the USA right now, kind of a silly decision at this point IMHO

That's I always deem it a mistake on Mo's part not giving the 5k or 10k's WR a go. He once had it in him, but he just never tried.
