There's a good chance Ramsden inadvertently sabotaged this for Kerr. Tough times.

Ok. Kerr gets to feel like what it's like to be Ingebrigtsen. Leading the whole thing from 900 meters.
Amazing run by all the top guys so soon after worlds. Kerr just playing with house money and having a great time. Biggest win of Nuguse’s career, nice consolation prize for a super good summer overall.
"Next Guy" moniker immediately stripped by The Goose
First race where Laros' inexperience really showed
Anyone know what happened after the false start of the 1500? Was it protestors?
Really pleased for George Mills, he’s had a lot of disappointments this year. PB and a strong run.

Katir sucks.
Passant will probably accuse Josh Kerr of being inconsistent.
Impressive from Kerr to go straight into the high jump competition.

good run by Mills
His father played for Man City and brother plays for Everton? Impressive

I agree with the protestors, this meet sucks so far.
Good experience for Hocker but 9th place. He really hasn’t shown he can run with the big boys at the top.
Agreed.

Fantastic run and continuing to improve. Got a great chance of making Paris next year.

Not sure if they were protesters or not, but did look like a few 'fans' jumped onto the track. Maybe Nuguse groupies?
If this is the shape everyone is in, I feel bad for anyone competing in Eugene against jakob 🤣
A little disappointed with the winning time because I wanted to show some random poster it was silly to guarantee no sub-3:30s without Jakob in the race. But what an awesome finish for Nuguse - 2nd Diamond League win of the season (in other words, he’s won both DL 1500s that Jakob hasn’t been in).
Nuguse already has 4 of the 8 fastest 1500 times in U.S. history.
Who’s the giant next to Muir 😰
Wish Kipyegon had entered this 800 on a lark.

I thought that was a pretty impressive run by Kerr.
He didn't have a lot of choice to be fair - and I doubt that he wanted to be basically in front after 750m (shout out to Ramsden for a comically bad pacing job - you couldn't run a 1.51 and get to even 950m?).
First thing is how you front run and leave the inside of lane 1 open - that's pretty basic stuff right? If he's on the rail he wins.
But bigger picture this does show that no Jakob didn't win in Budapest, but he is still a very special athlete in this event and in a style of race is simply lightyears ahead of the field - including Josh Kerr. And maybe I wouldn't have pointed this out had Kerr not been such an overly sensitive dick over the "next guy" comment with his pathetic little social media digs, but there you go. Great run by Nuguse and happy he won that.
