Now he’s run 143 and signing up to race the second fastest man in history. Do you think he’s ready for that level? What has changed? What are your expectations for the race and how has he looked in the last month?[/b][b]Also I know you told me with your NAU teams you don’t talk about the NCAA’s XC title. With Brazier, what are you focused on? Do you talk to him about USA’s? The US team is super hard to make. What are you guys focusing on a daily basis?[/b][b]Best of luck.[/b]Here was his reply.[b]Coach Smith: [/b][i]Hey Robert-[/i][i]Brazier has continued to look strong without any setbacks since his first competitions. I think the most significant change is now there are plenty of eyes on him, his return to the sport is no longer under the radar. He’s known the spotlight his whole career, this doesn’t seem to affect him.[/i][i]London DL is only his 3rd race back, so focus is on continuing to be patient with relearning this game, remembering how this feels, problem solving out there. This one is fast and a crowded field, I expect him to have to navigate instincts and emotions on the fly, which is crucial for USA meet. Success for him is just getting another one down![/i][i]Yeah, good last question, I think language is important in coaching around a championship. I have not talked to him about making the US team and I probably won’t. But what we will be laser focused on is executing in each of his rounds, including the final round. This event, this year, will reward mindsets and you will see that soon.[/i][i]Hope that helps![/i]

I'm watching the BBC broadcast. What are they showing on regular DL broadcast.
I'm not liking the BBC shots. They keep showing these random Brits in the crowd. I know there aer 60,000 of them but they aren't doing anything so it makes the meet look boring. Interview Wanyonyi or the British 800 guy. Do something but show bored fans in the stands for the last 5 minutes.
The atmosphere despite 60k fans is worse than a smaller stadium in eruope - no?

I was thinking the same thing, from a meet organizer point of view, 60‘000 people sellout is a huge success but as an experience, and maybe its just the weather, the crowd is dead. Compare that to Hayward and I know where I‘d rather be.

Holy cow, Georgia Griffith with a 30 second PR? Am I seeing that right? Her most recent 5000 PR was from this year too, in April!!!

British accents on the global feed.

Ah OK. That's a relief then.

Slow 5000. Would have been nice to have Hassan in this race.
Back in the day, a 14:31 would have been SPEEDING. How far things have come. It's still so fast in my mind - but maybe that's just because US women haven't been true global contenders in the event in a... very long time.

Very true. Times have changed literally and figuratively, especially in this event.
