Unofficial Day 7 Eugene World Championships Thread

Not saying he can't, but it's a lot of work.

How do we convince him to run the 400? How hard would it be to crowdsource $500k and offer that as a prize?

For the first time this year, I got deeply absorbed into NCAA and went as far as adopting the Gators as my team even though I'm not a fan of the state of Florida (some truly awful people). I been part of their Discord for a while now and can't understand how the sport is bigger in the US. There are some truly passionate fans there.

But I can't believe how uninformed and delusional they are. They truly expected Steiner to win. Against the Jamaicans!

Steiner hasn't got a sprint physique, looks almost weak, but still quick

I feel like you should (and maybe do?) get your pick of whatever lane you want, by order of semi time or however they want to rank it.

Lyles was always picking lane 7 for a while there, so I think that he’d agree with me that 7 is better than 3, maybe better than 4, too. Sh*t I’d take 8 over 3

likely because they follow the sport via an NBC-like lens which focuses on the American athletes to the exclusion of all else. When you compare the American-centric coverage to the World Feed, for example, the difference is striking. Only in the latter do you get a real sense of who is favored, who ran well, what the likely outcome of the race will be, etc

Luis Grijalva, come on, you ran great! But hey you grew up in Fairfield, CA and went to high school Armijo High.

Absolutely spot on!!!

Wind calculator says 19.20 for +2.0

Too bad physique doesn’t care about ncaa records

There's also people who think McLaughlin can run 47.6 and Mu can run 1:53.2 .

What can I say? Many people are overly optimistic.

Womens 800m heats are extremely even…no loaded heat like the Bol/Korir/Kinyamal one.
Big Qs set up for Moraa/Wilson, Rogers/Keely and Mu/Welteji. Spoilers would be Reekie/Alemu (H1), Goule/Hailu (H2), Nakaayi/Bello (H3)

Frickin love Grijalva

I think she’s better in the 400.

And he can’t run for the US because our immigration system is F-d. He’s as American as any of us, but he does seem proud to represent Guatemala.

What you are seeing is that she has womanly curves instead of roidshoulders and no hips. Nonetheless plenty of muscle and strength in all the right places. More like Evelyn Ashford than FLoJo '88 if you get my drift.....

I don't know if Steiner is better in the 200 or the 400. But I do know that the US women 400 runners aren't very good, so Steiner could probably win next year's USA's 400 if she wanted to.

Lol Gault tried to goad Shericka Jackson into saying Flo Jos record is doped. Shericka was wtf man

You mean it isn't? WTF.

Oh my god how is it possible to be harping on this. You act like you are the smartest one in the room that had uncovered such a big conspiracy, but in reality you are just the loser at a party harping on about "THE SIGNS ARE THERE!!!" while everyone is having fun and getting land. He didn't even indicate that he thought otherwise vut that didn't stop you matching over, busting open the door and screaming "ANYONE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE LORD AND SAVIOUR DOPING???!". Shoo away, shooo. You are not so smart as you think you are and the rest of the world is not so naive as you think we are. Its just that "you really dont know she was doping? hurr hurr ;) ;)" is such a low quality post and so tiresome after you have made it for the 1000th time.

It would have been interesting if it came from someone who pulled any weight but you hold less weight than a pair of spikes from Nike in this discussion. When you don’t bring anything new to what everyone is already thinking just don't bother. "Do you really think the day wont turn to night??". No we did think that its just noone else have the combination of low IQ and smugness to think its unique or exciting to say it.

Shoo! Tornment someone else! Shoooo.
