Looked like Herah stumbled out of the blocks there which cost her
Didn't see it.
Someone just sent me the vid of race. ETH was left in the blocks. Shelly had about a 3 meter lead at the 50m mark and Elaine closed but ran out of real estate. Shelly ran a perfect race.

Am I the only one questioning those misses by Mondo? The one before I’m like that’s weird it looks like he tapped it off. That last one looked like A-Rod slapping the glove of Arroyo back in 2004. That was not a natural movement at all. I’ll have to see replay
You can gamble on T & F these days.
darn, +1.7 wind and cool. what an opportunity.

Jakob easily in 7:33 but the time is disappointing.
Aregawi came back like a racing car. McSweyn can't finish as always.
Barega is in a bad shape, that's the confirmation after his disappointing loss in Eugene.
He probably has not trained since his win at the Olympics.
Conditions were way too windy, but still pretty much nobody besides Aregawi, Jakob and McSweyn and Balew was near their best.
I’m typing this devistated because With No Form at All could only manage 7:40 today.
This race just shows how great Komen’s 7:20 is.
Shelly's run was flawless, sheesh. Wasn't expecting that but I agree that the rivalry will push Elaine to break the record.
Bol SO strong the last 50 meters. 53.05 fast.

10:60 for Fraser-Pryce !!!!!!!
+1.7m/s
Thompson missed her biggest opportunity !!!
I disagree. The fact that Shelly is in 10.60 form means that Elaine has the push she may need to get her under 10.49. Elaine 10.64 ONLY....... he he he
Some people would say that the push does not work well on 100m as you need maximum relaxation and not to be under pressure.

Good point. I actually use that argument as a counter to those who say "well, he/she ran a PB in the semi finals just wait until the finals."
MOST athletes run their PBs in relaxed environments like say in the prelims of a race or in a smaller meets. When the "bigger" races happen, MOST athletes tighten up and struggle. Bolt was the opposite. I think both ETH and SAFP have shown they are different too, I think those two ladies will push each other to positive results.
These girls are triple jumping very far too night.
Give them all European bases they looked horrible, sheesh.
The average person can only adjust their internal clock by an incremental amount of 60 to 90 minutes a day, so no wonder many of today's contestants were running on vapours. There's a 16 hour time difference between Tokyo and Eugene where many of these athletes competed just days ago. There's another 8 hours between Eugene and Continental Europe which has to have had a very significant impact on performance. Whoever schedules these meets, get with the program. This is impossible.

My interrogation would be, how someone react when your main rival take a better start? Are you able to ignore it and stay relaxed or are you going to try to overrun to catch him/her?
Bolt was so much above the field that he had no pressure until late his career.
Same with Norway and Jakob, except remove the word potential in front of superstar. Where was the other Jacob today?
Between McDermott in the HJ and Rojas in the TJ, I'm becoming more of a women's 'field' fan.

"From nowhere, with no form at all"
Now this was a big anti-climax. Not gonna ngl.
Can Brown represent Canada in lieu of DeGrasse and break up the triumvirate of Bednarek, Kerley & Gardner?
Bednarek = GOAT tailwind runner!
