Sha’carri wearing a bra for the first time this year. Tired of bouncing silicone?
I really think you SCR/Lyles haters need to stop indicting yourselves. How loudly do you want to say “I find any personality in a human a personal affront!”
if they aren’t hurting others just enjoy it you dumbos
Why do people keep making this argument? Arrogance/ego does not equal "personality". Are you seriously claiming exuberant and outgoing people like Tamari-Davis or Tamberi don't have a personality?

Yeah, SAFP, Holloway, Rojas, etc. all clearly have character without being obnoxious.

This times about a million. I will never understand why some people equate acting like a complete imbecile with 'having personality'. There are plenty of athletes out there who are cool, interesting, and super engaging, who seem like awesome people to boot. Being an a**hole is just being an a**hole, it's not 'personality'. I have to believe the people who love this crap are just as bad themselves.
Announcers talked more about Fisher at the start of the race than any other US member. Mentioned Fisher even before McGorty. A fit Fisher will medal in Paris, but only if he can close in 52-53. Time will tell. He is the great hope, but I'm starting to think Nur is the new hope.

It really comes down to the personality archetypes of Jungian Psychology. Look it up. some are jesters, some motherly, some heroic. I believe Noah has had some dark times. It's nice to see that he has sauntered through them.
I'd also have to think Lyles antics make him way more money?
If he didn't put on the show people wouldn't talk about him 1/2 as much.
In sports, I personally love a guy who puts insane amounts of pressure on himself and backs it up. It's a true level of confidence it takes to do that over and over that 99% of humans don't have.
I think I'm going to ask for a refund from Peacock, get a vpn, and watch the bbc coverage. This coverage was shameful. We got to see maybe 10 minutes of a 30 minute event?
There are pirate streams in English on YouTube tend to get blocked and taken down after a while, but compared to USAs, there seems to be a higher volume of them, so new ones keep popping up and you can surf to another one. Search for an appropriate, broad term, and filter for live.
I found a Spanish language version of the live feed also on YouTube that I hesitate to mention because was never blocked or taken down (and is still up even now), and I intend to go with them as long as they keep doing it. They also have the full morning feed too, but not yesterday's. Maybe it is half legit because of where the channel is based. No commercials, so I saw all of the 10K except when the feed went to other events briefly. For non-live viewing, NBC Sports on YouTube has most of the interesting stuff within an hour or so.
Looking ahead to tomorrow - how on earth do Ta Lou, Richardson, and Jackson all end up in the same prelim??
If that's true they'd better change that by tomorrow.
LOL spoken like someone who has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. The semi assignments are not made randomly by some dude in a backroom, they are following a specific formula outlined in the world athletics championship rules (relevant section copied below).
Ranking and Composition of Heats, as follows: For the first round, the athletes shall be ranked with the seeding determined from the relevant list of valid performances achieved during the predetermined period. After the first round: a. for events of 100m to 400m inclusive, and relays up to and including 4 × 400m, seeding shall be based upon placings and times of each previous round. For this purpose, athletes shall be ranked as follows: Fastest heat winner 2nd fastest heat winner 3rd fastest heat winner, etc. Fastest 2nd place 2nd fastest 2nd place 3rd fastest 2nd place, etc. (Concluding with) Fastest time qualifier 2nd fastest time qualifier 3rd fastest time qualifier, etc.
b. for other events, the original performance lists shall continue to be used for seeding, modified only by improvements in performances achieved during the earlier round(s). In each case the athletes shall then be placed in heats in the order of seeding in a zigzag distribution, e.g. three heats will consist of the following seedings: A 1 6 7 12 13 18 19 24 B 2 5 8 11 14 17 20 23 C 3 4 9 10 15 16 21 22
In this case heat 2 is following the pattern of group A there. Sha'carri was the fastest heat winner so she gets spot 1, jackson and ta lou were the 6th and 7th fastest heat winners respectively, so they get spots 6 and 7. There is no grand conspiracy on the part of world athletics, they are just following their own guidelines for a change.
