Some really dire events and results ; USA high school levels ; who should get sacked?
The US womens' 1500m national championships has literally just been won in 4.03. The US has a population of nearly 4 times that of the UK. Seriously?

Not very good; but you checked out the men’s long jump and Jav in UK ; for instance ?
Weather is holding up at the moment, but showers still due to break out around the time of the 800m final. Hopefully it holds off and Max makes sure it's a fast one!
Laura Muir goes home devastated!
Laura Muir absolutely buried herself from 600 to 200 to go and then got out strengthed.
Love to see it
These champs have been pretty low grade overall, and Muir losing in a kick just make it that bit more depressing. Only Zharnel Hughes has saved it running 10.03 in a biblical rainstorm and 19.77 (+2.3 wind). British men's sprinting may not be a total embarrassment this year
Brave run from Burgin, but looks like that him finished for the season again....
Oof, Burgin hammers the opening 400 in 49 and dies 5 metres from home. Came third but has a nasty shoulder injury from the fall over the line. Kamikaze running
I hope his shoulder injury isn't as bad as it looks and he hasn't damaged anything else, because he's surely got a great chance of getting the standard in the next couple of weeks.
Amazing run really when he is so much less race fit than the others.
Athletes often say "I left it all out there" but Burgen's performance defines what that really means

Lol not brave, downright idiotic.

yes, I wouldn't put a medal round Zhanel's neck just yet but at least he is now in the conversation.
Cheeky run from Gourley lol
George Mills will be kicking himself for letting him through.
That 800 was tough to watch. Burgin has got to learn to slow a bit in the middle 400. 27.02-28.40 with a fall is tough.
People think I’m a Kerr hater I know but that was a rough outing. Perhaps he’s purely training through, but his speed right now is suboptimal.
EDIT: After some promising moments in the 800 recently is anyone gonna make the semis from the UK? I still like Pattison, so perhaps he breaks out.
Also a Flagstaff -Under Armour Dark Sky sweep in the 1500s? People used to rag on Stephen Haas but hes on a good run currently.
