Bol ran the diamond league races, ran the mixed relay heat and final (fall down). And she will be running 4x400m relay on Saturday and Sunday. She deserve to run conservatively. She can go back and try to run fast in diamond league final
Kara is awful. She just says absurd things. He might be worse but she is bad.
I strongly disagree with this. I have read a lot of criticism of Kara on this site, and some of it might be warranted. I tried to follow her on IG and just couldn't. Her audience, I believe, is incredibly affluent liberal chicks who don't live in the same world as most of us. I have a lot in common with her and find her pretty out of touch. I am her age and have been an avid runner for most of my life and love the sport so much. That being said, I really like Kara the runner - the woman who has experience on the world stage and clearly has a deep passion for distance running. I think her announcing these events is good for our sport. I would much rather hear an enthusiastic, well-informed and experienced runner call these races than some of the people we were stuck with before she came along. I think she is really good at this, but she is also relatively new. As she gets more experience she will only get better. She makes a point to pronounce each runner's name right and she gets their stats right and their personal information. Not just the Americans, but all of the runners. She also does a good job of giving some insight on what runners might be thinking or feeling during the race. Few people have the personal experience to do that. I do not connect with her personally, but she does a really good job calling distance races, especially considering that she is relatively new at it.
Wonderful post.
Couldn’t agree more. People are so negative in general around here about the commenters, but I’ve never seen her say anything too bad at all. I really like her commenting.
People hate on Trey Hardee, too, but he seems fine to me. He helps me understand the field events that I otherwise might not, since I have zero experience with them.
People can just be so overwhelmingly negative on here sometimes.
People didn't like it when I said it after the semis, but it's true.
You should put your predictions in a spreadsheet we can refer to. Just highlighting the ones that pan out doesn’t make people believe your prognostication powers.
Come on man...he predicted the Covid deaths correctly.
BTW, I said after his return to form this year that heats and semis might be too much for WVN...will put it on my spreadsheet next time

Wiggo and I are friends now - I think he has a good sense of humor and extensive knowledge of the sport. I enjoy his crazy proclamations.

I've not seen a single post hating on Trey (and I spend WAY too much time on here). Kara is tolerable (barely) as is Ato & Sanya. Lewis has to go tho (insipid, regurgitated slop, interview after interview). I thought RGIII was going to be our saving grace?
Since Kirani James got disqualified, that means he got 8th. That means all he needs to do is get 4th in Paris next year and he's completed the collection of top 8 finishes in global championships. Got 1st in 2011/2012, 2nd in 2016/2022, 3rd in 2015/2021, 5th in 2019, 6th indoors in 2012, 7th in 2013 and 8th now. Now that would be a hell of a thing to rack up during a career. XD
