Jakob outkicked Katir in the 1500m at World's, so I doubt he was too worried. He doesn't have the kind of gear shift that Coe had, the sudden dramatic jolt to the pace, but he ran about 53.7 for the last lap and about 25.7-25.8 for the last 200m, which is excellent. What separates him is really how easy he runs 58-60 for the preceding two to three laps in these. He gradually cuts the pace down, much like El Guerrouj in 2004 where every 100m was slightly faster than the previous one.

It's amazong how bad Europe is at sprints. Someof these guys would be luck to make the NCAA final.
It took 10.18 into a headwind to make the NCAA final but the final guy Boling has a sub-10 pb.
Maybe most of the talent is playing soccer.

German lady just won the 100 m in 10.99, in front of the Swiss athlete, same time. The favorite, Neita, GB, was relegated to third place. The German finished like a steam train after being well down on the switch on the Britain at the 50 m mark.

I was going to say it’s better for the women but that womens 100 was…something. Kambunji did the Justin Gatlin special completely coughing it up. Asher Smith just stopped running due to injury. And the time was barely under 11.

Grant Fisher would've medal in that 5K, maybe even gold.

It's been a great night for Germany, with the decathlon and women's 100 (and very nearly in the women's discus)

What an incredible upset! Imagine taking an unexpected gold on home turf! Listen to the home audience exploding over this! This is how an athletics crowd should sound like! The German getting a nasty cut in her final leap for gold and had to be stiched up straight after finishing.

A tough year? How so? A Silver and Gold at the WCs is what any other elite runner dreams of.

Not even injury for Asher Smith, she cramped up in both calves. That's exactly what happened in the relay in Eugene. That's really amateur stuff. She's a street better than anyone in Europe, she should never lose a race in this sort of company.
In general, European sprinting is extremely poor

Not necessarily.........Kambundji and Neita are rumored to be two of the biggest dopers out there. Dina Asher-Smith would have also checked the gorgeous and clean boxes, unfortunately she pulled up injured.

Ingebrgitsen make it look easy 38.93 is what i had for his last 300!!!
PS. Have these announcers watching the same sport that I've been watching the last few months? They thought Ingebrigtsen's results in Eugene somehow made him vulnerable in this 5000 at Euros? He won the damn 5000 world title in Eugene. Yes, there is always doubt until the last 100 when he pulled away and crushed Katir. But it's just like Kipchoge until mile 25 in a marathon.
Do they not realize there's a big difference in leading a 1500 and leading a 5000?
When he front runs a 1500, he's the #2 guy in the world at that. In a tactical 5000, he's not losing as it bascialy turns into a 1500.
Actually, it looks like 39.8 for the last 300m. 53.8 last 400m.

Thanks for the clarification…that feels like a situation that should not be continually repeating.

You were praising the German for being gorgeous and clean. Your type is well known.

Great for Neita to podium at Commonwealth and Europeans but it’s weird how she runs super fast in semis and let’s up in the finals. Should have been a Double Gold this summer instead of Double Bronze
