    Nobody has Jakob's number. Jakob is 18 and still nowhere near his peak. Souleiman is 26 (officially) and ran his pbs four years ago. He just pipped Jakob and as the previous poster said, Jakob already has a win over him.

    Jakob is still improving a lot. This point last season his 1500 pb was 3:36 and his Mile 3:53. This season he's already solo ran a faster 1500 indoors (Stockholm was a slow race but he ran very well) and bettered his mile time by a second. In last year's Prefontaine Classic he ran a second slower and was over 3 seconds behind the winner Tim. This year he was not only a second faster, but within a second of the same winner Tim.

    I predict sub 3:30 at Monaco and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he takes Gold in the 1500 in Doha. He's getting closer and closer to Tim and he's a better championship runner than him.

    3/3 this season.

    Also Aden's poster boy after makhloufi left the group. Rumor is that Aden is still coaching him.

    Regarding the guy who booed semenya (I laughed when I heard him boo), does anyone think he posts on Letsrun? Even more so, does anyone think he was the fellow who posted the thread encouraging people to protest semenya at this meet?

    The site should post an invitation for the Semenya booer to do an interview, anonymously if he chooses.

    Don't know if this has been noted before, but the commentator 'accidentally' says - 'not really driving hard yet is he...she'. Hahahaha. (29 seconds into the video). Surprised he hasn't gotten into trouble for that.

    Oh this makes me laugh - someone who is "kept up with the sprint scene" - brother the only thing I'd guess that you really know is that the World Championships are in October. Kudos.

    If you think that Tori Bowie's performances aren't of some concern you are completely clueless. She ran 11.22 with a 0.7 tail in Boston 2 weeks ago and today she ran 11.30 with a 0.3 tail. Dude, we are talking about an athlete with a 10.78PR who is extremely decorated. My expectation of that kind of talent, even with a late World Champs (applause for you) is that she is at least competitive and probably hovering around the 11.0X watermark at this point in the season.

    I mean we hear the same "building towards October" from guys like Coleman (who have also had injury issues in the recent past) and yeah, he's probably capable of running 9.7 low by worlds - he's running 0.1-0.15 off that right now - that's exactly where he should be. Same for Lyles, same for DeGrasse, et al.

    We aren't talking an 800m race here - to be competing over 100m almost half a full second off your PR? If you think that having concern at that is a nonsense conclusion you have no idea what you are talking about.

    Tori's head and heart isn't in it right now for a variety of reasons - and that's what the concern is. Unfortunately a few extra weeks of "prep" for Doha isn't going to change this for the good.

    Hey nimrod, since when does early season struggles automatically dictate/equate to an awful performance at Worlds?! There have been plenty of athletes that have struggled early season then gone on and performed exceptionally at worlds. There are also athletes who perform spectacular early season and even most of season then by worlds there peaked out and toast. Its all about timing it right. Being concerned may be somewhat reasonable but if you factor in the very late start of worlds (worlds have never been held this late in a year) and the fact she already has a bye to the championships she can have as fucked up as a build she wants and just needs to be in peak form in October.

    Hey bruh whats happening - how did it work out for Tori in Doha then?

    Nimrod doesn't even half describe you my man.
