Almost certain Athing and Brandon broke up. Looked like she was going through it emotionally this entire season. Barely seen her smile and this may be why. hope she doesn’t beat herself up too much about bronze

They used to be in photos together all the time and commenting on each other’s races on IG all the way up until USATF. sometime after that they stopped following each other on IG and both of them deleted all the photos of the two of them together. Interesting and sad timing. I hope Mu gets the hell out of LA, goes back to her college coach Milton Mallard and makes a fresh start.

I love to see all the grumpy Americans here.

Jakob won again.

While he is winning, you are bitching.

You should make America great again instead

The Jamaican runner ran a 49.97 anchor (if we convert their 1200m time to their finishing time) and with a ~10 metre lead over the Netherlands that roughly translate to a split between 48.6s and 48.8s for Femke

I've been saying for months that there is no way Athing Mu agrees to run the 1500 in the 2024 Olympics.

If she is barely motivated enough to run the 800 which is her main event, what makes anyone think that Athing Mu is motivated enough to run the 1500 against the best 1500 runners in the world?

But it sounds like she thought she was gonna be on a much-needed vacation and then found out last minute she had to go to work afterall

How many people would feel any differently if they thought they were gonna be lounging on a beach instead of working?

What was Klaver's split on the 2nd leg? She made up a ton of ground on her Jamaican counterpart too, even if Bolton didn't mention it until halfway through the next leg.

I asked 4 months back if i should went to the championship alone. And everyone on letsrun told me i should. Heck I went alone and the championship was every worth the penny. Accommodation, food, tickets were cheap. The stadium was loud. A lot of drama to witness.
Going to miss the running. Until next time.

good call. wish i would have done this. sounds like it was in a location that is easy and affordable to travel, which isn't necessarily the norm for these things.

I genuinely thought Nur had a medal shot in that 5000. He looked awful. Overall, it was a disastrous champs for US distance running. No medals for the second champs running in anything from the 1500 upwards. Considering the money going into most of those athletes, sponsors should be asking serious questions
