World Indoor Championships Day 3 Discussion Thread + Live Reaction Show at 4 pm ET

He just didn't have it the last 700m. Made a strong effort off the last turn though. That was a well-positioned race for Spencer, tough for Pihlstrom.

Nader was in a great position at the bell, just didn't have it when it mattered.

Yep. I have to feel for Nader, his tactics weren’t the best and he ran so much extra distance. This guy Garcia ran an incredible race and beat the best 1500m runner in the world. Great race.

Green was making too many moves getting to the front then getting spit out to the back.

What were you expecting from him? A medal would have been a big surprise.

Thx. Could be close if Anna is in great shape. But she wouldnt be in 3rd at this point if she was peaked. Dokter should be within 4 seconds I imagine, what with an indoor gold on the line.

I know it would be a long shot. That is my slim “but what if” hope. I hope Addy does go in planning to challenge and not be intimidated by Keely. That is the only way US women are going to have any chance on the world stage. There are finally some going to world events that want more than just to be there.

4 Euros beat the NCAA champion. THis should end the talk here that NCAA > Euro champs.

I’m only following the live results, but there’s no mistaking this: the story of that race is Garcia boldly doing what nobody thought he was capable of.

Last 800: 1:48.28. From 1000 to 1400 he split 52.88. Just burned everyone.

Poor tactics from so many guys in the 1500. Did the Swede try to go inside Nader 2 times or 3 times, to get pushed back each time? As one example of many.

Garcia could not be more annoying. If you'd rather be riding bikes go do it little boy.

The moto Garcia wins 🏍

Garcia’s intros and celebrations are so bizarre, but I kind of love them. He really controlled that race, he deserved that win

That last lap the US could have used Hocker’s kick. Just saying.

The curse of having won a previous global title at 1500 continues .

It’s really jarring seeing so many people from Jakob’s final last year doing so well. I thought those finals were weak like everyone was preaching..

Pretty impressive Garcia took it out and was able to hold off the field. Green did a good job of trying to keep himself in good position, but probably had to surge too many times to be able to have a final gear at the end. Pretty decent result though, he will only improve from here.

I think Hunter-Bell will win, but this prediction is also very possible. Love that there is not a clear favorite!

An 800m guy allowed to run from the front in a ~3:40 type race is a recipe for disaster. Huge blunder by Nader to not put in a few 29pts early.
