Jerrell Mock at 2:10 is one of the best American debuts we have had for a while. Kudos to Jake riley on a great run as well.
It's crazy though how we can have guys like Riley and Mock run 2:10 who were never great collegiate runners but never SUPER studs. Not sure why we don't have more guys running in the 2:06-2:08 range given the talent at the NCAA level.
Does anybody know who Jacob Riley is? Previous PR's?

Mo Farah is getting rocked. Worst race he's run in years
Rupp and Hasay both out. They went to Salazar couple days ago to get some meds, but sadly his doors were closed.
So, let's see. Rupp had surgery for a potentially career-ending injury. He hasn't raced since then, has struggled in training. He lost his coach in the last two weeks before Chicago. Still, he showed up, endured all of the bullshit from the Salazar ban, and ran as hard as he could until 23 miles. My respect for Rupp has increased.
Hey, Emma Bates is the first person they've shown in the last hour not wearing Nikes!
A wonderful day for Kosgei. Everything worked perfectly.

Who WERE great collegiate runners, pardon me****

Let the debate about "shoe doping" begin .....
My initial thoughts: If Kosgei can do this clean, surely Paula was just a true marathoner and she did it clean
Later thoughts: Okay, what if Paula had those shoes?
Hum, so another fail for Karoki...bit of a lost cause by now. Not as bad as Tadese but still, it looked like his race to lose.

Emma Bates looks like she's running in tennis shoes
Please excuse my not catching the reference - but what does "Off-Score" Paula mean?
Faster than Buddy Edelen's WR back in the sixties

I think 206-208 is olympian class and all but a couple athletes who've run faster are doped to the gills, but either been passed over by corrupt anti doping agencies or not been caught.

+1
Anyone want to guess who are the agents of Kosgei?
emma bates is passing many men and none of them are responding.

Its a euphemism for doping. Her scores on a drug test were at levels that weren't possible for a clean athlete, but it must have just been a one in a hundred million coincidence because Paula speaks out against doping, you get it?
