OFFICIAL MILLROSE DICUSSION THREAD

Like Mo Farah, she has an extraordinary ability to control a race. I look forward to seeing her against Brenda Martinez, to say nothing about Dibaba.

That was just an exhibition. I think she is the best 1500 runner in the US at age 17, kind of like Jim Ryun in 1965.

4:32.15 actually

bretty gud

Whoa! 2:20/2:11 splits! She is certainly under 4:30 shape in a fast race!

I have no idea why you would spot lagat the lead with less than 400m to go.

If it was me, I'd do what Bekele did and El Gurrouj did--wind it up at 600m. You can't wait for 200m. Guys like Cam are not milers, and they were probably looking to test themselves against Bernard. If I was Bumby, though, I think after this effort I'd like my chances next week in 3000.

OK

Yeah, if I were a multi world champion and multi world record holder I may try to do that too.

I didn't notice anyone like that in the field going against Lagat.

For those in the field, you don't want to lead and have Lagat sitting on you.

Tactics are overrated when someone can flat out run you.

WEBB WEBB WEBB!

WILL MF LEER!!

Cains form, arm carriage, thorax carriage do look better than a year ago.

Head up, not hunched, no hunched shoulders, still kicks the left arm a little bit, but man has she improved.

Shows what can happen when good coaches get to work with athletes early. Really impressed with not only her result, but her form.

I didn't think she could improve her form so much in one year.

I guess that makes sense as a lot of us improved our form in late high school as our bodies matured and we got more work at it.

You cannot tell good form just by looking at it.

The guy will be 40 y.o. In less than 10 months. That's crazy...

Ajee Wilson wins it!

+1 .. looked super, super comfortable. Nice run.

Who is the idiot thats announcing with Tim.

Horrible , with so many good people available how did they get a boob like that paired with Tim.

That was awesome. I never would have expected Leer to become a 3:52 miler. Dude just keeps steadily improving.

Bryan Clay

Ice Land High schooler

4 Hindriksdottir, Anita IR Sports Club 2:02.66

New Canadian record in the men's mile also. Interesting contrast for the 2 Michigan roomates (Brannen and Webb)

I only watched the last 30 min but what was wrong with it (besides the American 1k record thing)? I thought he did an excellent job during New Balance Indoors.

Really happy for the dude, he's paid his dues and you can tell he's very focused and serious about getting to the top...nice to see a good guy get a big career win.

Uceny almost went down.

A new CR for Lawi also, correct?
