Are you ready for some Saturday morning T&F (7-9 am ET) - Official 2018 Shanghai DL Discussion Thread

OMFG, imagine being neck to neck about to possibly win a diamondleague title, then you foot slips out from under you because of the slippery track.

Please take the camera off the guy that just destroyed his ankle in the long jump. Thank you.

Yea, I can understand why they kept that shot but it was very tough to watch. Hope dude's OK

Prescott ruins the Chinese party. Gatlin's age has finally caught up.

lol, Bingtian Su gets told he didn't actually win during the post-race interview. Huge upset from Prescod but with this weather it really doesn't mean much.

Well, that was some fun Saturday morning track and field, I hope they have more Diamond League meets on Saturday so I can actually watch them.

The race was fixed in favor of the Chinese. This is how you pay homage to the Host City. Why do you think Coleman was absent?

he has 10:05 earlier this year. Probably his true level the past decade.

Welcome to the big show, Drew Windle. Dude got roasted.

A little better result for Clayton Murphy. 1:45.97 for 6th.

He sure did, but it looked like he might have tried to work on running midpack early. Clearly it didn't work out.

But I'm more interested in finding out why he was wearing shades.

As for Murphy, the time was better but that race was depressing for me. To see two big American talents get just destroyed.

I can imagine wearing the shades, warming up, sort of forgetting they're on, going out there, and thinking I don't want to put them down or drop them because I like them.

So push them up on your head and run. I've done that.

He is Massai like Rudisha...much taller than most Kenyans.

Stanley Waithaka actually looks 18! A Kenyan FIRST!

Any reports on the Yuhao Shi injury? I hope it is not severe and he recovers fully and swiftly
