Unofficial Day 10 Eugene World Championships Thread

When one guy wins the decathlon 1500 by 50 meters or more, the rest of the decathlon should be voided and declare him the winner.

Sorry everyone else but if you're that slow you're not the greatest all-around

Why would that be 'making excuses'? It's just a statement of fact.

It's awesome!

Lavillinie out. Unless the relay teams do something, Mayer may be France's only medal. When has that ever happened?

He would win by about 200m

So, how many of you just watched a decathlete run a faster 1500 than your PR?

no, because then guys would sandbag and wait for the 1500. It was a gutsy effort for the Puerto Rican dude, but what he needed was more points earlier, not to win this one event

Ooof someone get Ziemak in an ice bath or the medical tent. Looks like he’s having a heat stroke

Except that he didn't win it "by 50 meters or more." Not even ten.

No it isn't...there's no evidence it hurt her performance. And what I'm saying about Americans is an even truer fact. There's always an excuse.

To be fair we kinda forced ourselves on Puerto Rico lol

USATF deleted their Tweet with the women's 4x4 lineup. Making a change?

He ran faster than Chebet did in the women's 1500 final.

Lindon Victor was in the back of the pack hobby jogging and laughing it up. Such a free spirit. Wonder if he throws rocks at Mango trees too

If he'd a won by 50m it shouldn't matter, but he didn't. German caught him.

How about doing an individual start? Revise the points system a bit to make it work but it would be far more interesting, you could see who was in the actual lead. Puerto Rican dude would be closing like mad and crowd going nuts.

The Americans should be wearing a British vest. They aren't a nation, they are a disorganised rabble.

Nah he’s just overcome with emotion getting the bronze medal.

STEINER IS ON!!!!
