If Tim Cheruiyot missed the Diamond League finals because of a sore throat, we would have m!ndnumb and Coefart up in arms.

Can you imagine?
A 17 year old who ran 3:31 then did the double at a senior Area champs... skips the diamond league final?
If Jakob was Kenyan the thread would be 200 posts long with conspiracy theories ranging from age cheating to doping to bribes about this sore throat.
Here are some Norwegians watching Jakob win a different kind of gold.
Perhaps they knew what channel it was on. The TV over here was an unmitigated disaster - sometimes on NBC, sometimes on USA, sometimes you had to go to Peacock. Complete cluster.ONE CHANNEL FOR THE ATHLETICS, another one for the swimming etc
I don't know what the numbers are but when Bolt ran the 100m finals in 2012, it was estimated that over 90% of Jamaicans were watching TV. Probably the only people not watching were first responders in the middle of a response and the elderly with dementia. A high school track meet 'Champs Saturday' for all intents and purposes is a national holiday in Jamaica. Japanese ekidens are super popular, specially the Hakone Ekiden which is a 2 day event and is watched by 50 million people each day. That's over half the Japanese population tuning out to watch a race and it's carried live on TV for 6 hours each day. I don't have to tell you how popular running is in East African countries. Btw, track and field in the 2nd most popular sport in the world; it is somewhat of an enigma that track and field is ranked so low in the nation with the world's greatest track athletes.
