Official 2015 Rome Golden Gala Diamond League Discussion Thread

Lol 9.75 (+.9) taking down Bolt's MR.

9.74 JUSTIN GATLIN. Let your running do the talking man. Personally, I think if he did the time for his crime, he deserves a second chance.

What about a third chance?

Obviously you never followed her college career. She set the NCAA 1500m record in a time equal to what she ran today in Rome. She went to the Olympics in the steeple in 2008 after her junior year.

...Yeah no doubt there was some elaborate doping system at CU.

Give it a rest man.

She's world-class, her PR's are human, she just knows how to compete.

He is not 17 and he cannot go sub-12:50. it was a perfect race today.

12:52 or so is possible. Alamirew still struggling in 13:22.

She's a white, girl-next-door type, and I like her.

The meet website shows Hassan the winner in 3:58 and Simpson second at 3:59.

HaHa. Jenny clearly hit the tape first in 3:59.13 (WL), but is now listed as second to Hassan ("3:58.68") so I guess we have to take the timing with a grain of salt. Who am I to believe, my lying eyes or the digital timing?Heather Kampf ran 4:04.50 (if you believe the timing) but finished 14th in a very fast race.

That was an insanely quick last lap for Jenny on that kind of pace. About 60.5 in a 3:59

Meet website is wrong then. Simpson won.

I had to step away and came back and they were like 20 meters from the finish. I stopped the broadcast to rewind it but looking at I thought "no way Simpson wins." When I watched it on replay she definitely one and it was a meter or so. She timed it very well.

Gatlin just crushed everyone in the 100.

If you go to the photo, you'll see that Jenny is way ahead. The timing chip is 1 second off according to the photo on the results page. Probably just a misprint and you can see that they mark the results as unofficial at this point anyway.

Men's 100m:

Pos. Atleta Naz. Anno di nascita Risultato

8. Andrew FISHER JAM 91 10.14

9. Harry ADAMS USA 89 10.24

results website is showing wrong 1500 results still

Is that a French record in the 100 ? Going forwards, that is.

Heather Kampf will be the 4th American going to World's.

1500m results listed as "official" now, but still have Jenny in 2nd. The picture obviously proves this wrong.

No, Lemaitre has the record at 9.92.

Hyvin Kiyeng with a new WL of 9:15:08 in women's steeple. Meanwhile, ex-rabbit Virginia Nyambura proves she's legit as she beats Ayalew to second.

Interesting that we haven't seen Coburn in the Steeple this year. So she'll only have two races, USAs and Worlds?

That made me laugh, Dwayne! Nice!
