Offal Day 6 Worlds Discussion Thread (Men's 5000m heats, M/W 200m semifinals, Women's 100m hurdles finals)

It's been so weird watching the Kenyans be so unsuccessful in the mens distance events. These drug busts have done a number on their depth huh

Was Nordas tired or did he miscount? 😄

Yes but that slow-mo replay showed him get clipped and just brutally faceplanted, really out of nowhere, like the sniper meme

Nur is gonna be a problem in the years to come.

He's still young and is already confident enough to front-run

Goucher was like WTF is this guy doing

That heat was missing Cheptegei too…everyone brought it

have the commentators ever pronounced luis's last name correctly

LIKELY DOPING

Big one for me that jumped out from that first heat - Kemboi and Kipkorir absolutely destroyed. What the f--- is going on there? Kipkorir especially should be cantering home in a race like that?

They weren't even close - they both were beaten by Ben Flanagan, Mike Foppen, Jon Heymans? Huh?

If McGorty does manage to advance, he'll actually do it with more room to spare than either Nur or Chelimo did.

Paul Chelimo

Have you heard of the AIU?

She's better than he is but not allowed to talk in the final stretch. He kept getting Nordas and Laros mixed up in the 1500.

Luis Grivalia

Lmfao this guatamelan guy holding everyone back. Someone needs to pull a latvian girl and go for this

Kara is awful. She just says absurd things. He might be worse but she is bad.

why is some guy running in full length tights?

McGorty is a buff, handsome man. Nothing sexual or gay in what I'm saying...he has an impressive presence.
