Official 2015 Lausanne Diamond League Live Discussion Thread

Hughes wins from the inside lane. 20.13. The man who challenged Bolt earlier in NY got his Diamond League win tonight. Young lead through 150, then passed by Jobodwana while Hughes was steamrolling on the inside.

Yes, it's on Bein on Comcast/Xfinity--in the Chicago area channel 400.

Nice to be able to watch Anna Chicherova in the women's hj. Sorry, but it is.

I downloaded the pdf results and just copied and pasted. Seems to turn out alright for me.

Disappointing steeple for the US women. I wonder they the times were slow.

Weather is mid 70s. 38% humidity and 2 of the 3 ran way slower than they did at USAs.

At USAs Coburn ran 915 in a heat wave. Here she runs 920.

At USAs, Quigley ran 924. Here she ran 942.

Franekdid run faster here. She ran 940 versus 947 at USAs.

Storl PRs in the Shot Put. 22.20. Don't think he will be pressured the rest of 2015. Lot's of Americans in the results. Nothing great.

Mo Farah spotted warming up.

Wind in the 200m was listed at 0.0. I'm not convinced , although the track is fully enclosed. I'm not optimistic for fast running in the 5000m.

400m Hurdle Women are on the track

The racial makeup in the 400h was unusual. Everyone but maybe one girl was white. When is the last time that happened on the DL?

PPP goes big on the first jump. +1.4 wind 17.85 ahead of 17.35 from Taylor.

These type of results are seen every year after the Yanks first get to Europe.

Long distance flights can cause dehydration and consequent constipation, with body clock being thrown off. etc. Some people have no problem with jetlag, most do.

you guys are obsessed with race and genetics

Women's 400h hurdler winner was 28-year old Sara Petersen of Denmark. Before this year she was a 55 second woman.

She had PRd in 4 straight races before tonight.

55.23 NR PB 1 AtletiCAG Genève 6 Jun

55.13 NR PB 1 ETC-2 Stara Zagora 20 Jun

54.79 NR PB 1 Sidło Sopot 27 Jun

53.99 NR PB (3) 2 Areva Saint-Denis 4 Ju

55.01 got the win.

Women s 100m Hurdles, WOW 6/8 Americans in the race.

The armada of USA hurdlers take 6 of the 8 spots on the starting line. Stowers in lane 4, Nelvis in 5, Haper-Nelson in 6, Queen Harrison in 7, make 4 of the top 5 USA Champs finishers.

Joe has the WL and beat storl in Eugene. Storl was considerably better today, but history has shown that this will become a back and forth rivalry.

Welcome to lets run forums, son.. while the dad/grandad posts on fox news sites and mum reads the daily mail site. The kids are on here obsessing about race. Just read the other posts and you will see.I only ever click on event threads such as this. The rest are racist and accusations of doping abound. You hate someone, they dope or they are whatever ethnic slur you can conjure.

Blanket finish. Harper-Nelson 12.55 winning time. Gives a cartwhell, but needed to looked at the scoreboard to know she won. Stowers knew she was close, but disappointed after the confirmation of her 2nd.

Porter had a good start, and other than that, everyone one ran equivalent races. No lead changes, no comebacks, just 4 parallel runs.

That was a fine field, but probably not that fast a field. I would assume that judging from that race and the 200m they are not paying very much for some events so as to put their money into very high quality fields in others.

FYI thank you clerk, Rojo, and others giving live text updates.

Did they swap the men's 200m and 100m time slots?
