That was kinda quick 800 m.

Better take advantage before the testosterone blockers become mandated. Is it any shock that intersex athletes win the race EVERY TIME?

Lipsey!!! What a year for her so far. This result gives me a good feeling about her training partner's (Ajee) chances of breaking up the "big" 3.

No. And it gets harder to watch every time because you have to feel for the real women racers.

I love how it was put in place for two years so the IAAF could gather evidence that elevated testesterone in women is performance enhancing. I hope when they do have that meeting that the IAAF just shows a montage of all the races of the big three winning again and again and again.

How fast will Van Niekerk be? I say 43.6

van Niekerk is in ok shape.

Just caught the end of the 5000m...(my dude muktar is in great form) but on the homestretch there was somebody rolling around grasping their legs in pain. Can somebody who saw the full race explain?

This would've been more impressive if you had made your prediction before the race.

44.00-10 looking easy, but if he takes off like he wants to embarrass people then yeah i see a 43.6-7

This result does not give me a good feeling about the doping status of Ajee and Charlene.

They're both world beaters coming off lackluster Olympic years.

well wtf? is someone going to post the results or what?

She was already tying up but in the last 25 meters she purposefully eased up when she saw she was way off. It could have been a 4:15 flat

She is running hard until the finish, what are you talking? Could have been 4:16.07

Find them yourself. They're live.

WVN 43.63 and coasted the final 7m. It looked as easy as Kerley's 44.09 SEC prelim.

43.62 MR and he easied up, the should have been a 43.5x. It looked so easy. Makwala died horribly, still ran 44.08. Thebe Pbed in 44.02.

I feel that WVN will run 19.4 and 42.8 in london, we could also see multible men under 44, since Thebe and Makwala are close.

well i guessed correct....if he took off hard, or did he look relaxed like it was a stroll in the park? cause if he dropped a 43.6 as a comfortable stroll you can sit back and watch him run 42.8high at worlds

you know there was a live free stream on utube?

Comfortable stroll. He was 2nd when they hit the home straight.

Last 5 laps of Lausanne

1:01.29 -- 1:02.47 -- 1:02.41 -- 1:02.04 -- 55.14 = 5:03.35 = 12:55 winning time

Last 5 laps of Rio

65 - 65 - 63.4 - 59.8 - 52.8 --- 5:06 total time = 13:03 winning time

Likely still not enough to beat Farah -- 52.8 even against a faster overall time and faster previous 4 laps is worlds better than a 55.1 close from Edris. Mo will win again.

Unfortunately I believe you're correct. Mo will run around 12:50 in London - IF he needs to..

Who was the guy rolling around on the home straightaway?
