Grand Slam Track Kingston Day 3 Sunday Thread (+ live video recap show at 10 pm ET).

I'm stunned by this 5k. You have 100k = well $50k really - on the line (she's going to win 50k either way). Why would you let yourself get gapped in the first 1k (259) if you are Taye.

14:40 pace at 1800m

Lol I think Ngetich might have taken that first mile faster than the men did. Definitely a different kind of race for this 5k

American women distance running is embarrassing

True. Taye is going to win anyway.

Taye looks like she knows what she’s doing.

They’re gonna run faster than the men. What a disgrace that men’s 5k was

Women’s long distance isn’t anywhere near “only the fastest” competitors.

We have live splits on media timing site. 2:59.25, 5:51.98 at 2k.

Taye about to catch up 8:10 into it. Will she go around? or sit?

Ngetich not even running that fast. how are sub 14:50 runners not able to run their PR pace for even 2k?

Infeld gonna get lapped?

They have some fast people. Two sub-14:50, a sub-29 a sub-30 and even Tanaka of Japan has run 14:29. Yes we are missing the Olympic 5k/10k champ and Kipyegon/Hassan, etc.

Too many Jamaican snacks

You can say that again!

Looks like she'll mooch like Kincaid on Klecker--with a familiar result.

Infeld going to get $10,000 and a free 3-day vacation to Jamaica regardless.

Oh! You did!

This is a really small number of competitors for a 3k/5k. Has to be mentally tough and boring to just be racing against yourself or one other person. Hope to see it rank up a bit as more people are brought on

running on the outside of lane 1 is gonna add up…..
