Official Thread: World Juniors Starts August 27th, Cameron Myers Doubling, Awesome M/W 800s

Medina eisa when she was side to side with Taye and chebet at Riga 5km road they looked like they are the same age group. Hell Eisa when racing at Adidas adizero when she was racing Fotyten tesfay (26 years old) you coulndt tell Tesfay is older than Eisa

Eisa has a babyface, small bodied and highly talented but i dont think she is U20 she is at least 22

Very surprised to see at Lima World U20 champs the same ethiopians who at african U20 championships last year wouldnt prove they were U20 and werent allowed to compete and some stripped of medals

African championships are stricter than worlds i see

She got advice from Grant Fisher, who is also a Michigan/Canada dual national.

But can he teach Rachel Forsyth how to win an Olympic medal? That would be something.

2/2 is 100% but coalvett is too dumb to even do basic math , too hung up on Kenyans who don’t even care that he exists but live rent free 🆓 in his head.

Gorriaron and the Japanese phenom look good in Semi1, running 2:03-flat side by side at the finish.

Not seeing it the same as you. Taye looks older to me. Agree to disagree I guess.

Moraa and Hollingsworth cruise their heats. Wonder how the coach of the Moraa’s Alex Sang prepares them for the start-stop frontrun tactics that are so effective.

Yeah Taye actually looks older. But Eisa looks same age as chebet and when i saw her running against Tesfay she still looked same age as her. Eisa has a deceptive look. When she is among teenagers she looks soo young. But among the big girls she also looks the same age as them. Thats the reason i doubt she is that young. The deceptive look gives her an edge

I couldnt find the full video but the parts where you see Eisa she doesnt look that waay younger than the rest in the same race

Lol. Disingenuous to the core, you are. Yeah, it’s just because they “look different”. The Jamaicans look like kids because they are. The SA entrants look like kids because they are kids, same with black entrants from the USA. Meanwhile, the bulk of the Africans look old because they ARE old. These are same peoples who were caught cheating in soccer. Implement the MRI testing as soccer has. Then we’ll see some things change quickly. You’re as big a cowardly fraud as the age cheats. We get it.

Peyton Craig with the odd side-to-side head thing gets through to the final as does the first of the Kenyans. Watcke in a good spot to time-qualify with a 1:47.6

The General of Ethiopia and the Qatari coached by Charlie Grice get through in H2 and Watcke in on time. Japanese phenom and Koech hold off Jonas of GBR who ran a pretty weaksauce race unfortunately closing like a freight train but letting them get away just enough (.02). Tough one, but he’ll learn from it.

Norwegian wins the 3K beating out Kipkoech of Kenya. Jakob may have company soon, sure the 5K had the stronger field, but that’s still a helluva accomplishment.

Bright future for this 18-year-old:

This is all that’s needed to be known, cherry 🍒 picked event.

Ok, let's bite here. Gout Gout says he is 16. How old does he look to you and how old do you think he is?

Gout Gout and Peyton Craig look old, but so what I guess.

If you've seen Gout being interviewed, you'll see how young he still is. He hasn't started growing into his body yet at all. I remember a 100m earlier in the year where he barely had a drive phase. It was like he didn't have core strength and just popped straight up

As you can see Fjeld Halvorsen have had a nice progression the last four years. But nothing more than that. At 1500 3:48-3:44-3:40-3:38. Last year 7:47 at 3000, this year so far 7:51. In the 1500 finale he will have quite a challenge. The other Norwegian Moe Berg, nine months younger: 3:47- 3:45 - 3:37 is capable of running sub 3:36 now and might be a challenger for both Myers and Fayisa in the finale.

Oh, we’re all sure you bite. And you’re another disingenuous true believer. Try harder. You can’t argue with the guy so you cherry pick.

Pretty on brand for the USA U20 4x100 team fail to make a single baton pass in qualifying. Seems like those guys are ready for the Olympics!
