Today, the Americans Klecker, kincaid and mcgorty were dropped like a pound of shiite coming off an horse's arsse.
The American Connor Mantz would have been with the leaders at the beginning of the last lap. He would have been outkicked by all of them, but he wouldn’t have dropped from that lead group so easily like the three Americans in the field did.
In the M100m, check out Tebogo never behind CC, not even over the first 40m😮.
He should be formidable in the 200.
Nice times, very nice. No need to see obviously fake 9.7’s. Lyles was right where I thought he would be, but I hoped Seville could muster more. I had a feeling that CC had nothing after 50.
Hats off to Lyles, he did what he needed to win. Carl Lewis 2.0👍
21 year old Ethan Katzberg from Canada pulls off the upset in the Hammer Throw with a 81.25m National Record!
Total baller. National Record in Round 5 for the win. Set 3 national records - 1 in the prelim, 2 in the final. Also bonus points for the Encino Man haircut.
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.
sucks, I was pulling for Seville. He's like the anti-lyles. Quiet and humble.
Some would say, boring. I don't begrudge people having athletes they prefer to root for, but let's not make bad guys out of athletes we don't jive with. It seems the second a T & F athlete shows a modicum of personality, bravado, swagger ( see ALL other major sports), a segment of you vilify them.
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.
He got bitten by the 3 semifinal format. I have never liked having 3 races for the final spots. Sometimes your semifinal can be loaded and this happens.

Tebogo is the future at 100 if he continues to build on that top-end speed. Love his easy action. Would like him to learn how to lean. I bet you enjoyed that the podium (and top 4 really) is all lanky not jacked guys. Even Hughes is pretty svelte. Seville is really good but he’s gotta figure out the rounds. It’s not even like he was boneheaded and didn’t cruise at the end of his rounds, but he just didn’t have the same juice in the final. Today even with a big lean and way more effort at the end he’s getting 9.88.

You think Mantz could hang with them until the last lap?! Lol
