Don't know about anyone else, but after the excitement of Eugene, Birmingham, Munich, and Monaco, this meet felt really boring. I'm glad the crowd were into it but the performances were all middle of the road. There's not a single thing I'll remember about this meet in a few weeks

But he has the indoor WR?

Niyonsaba is destroying women’s athletics. I didn’t enjoy that. Monson deserves all the glory.
Funny that my post got deleted for saying it was a bummer that a dude was in the race. Was there a money payout for 1st/2nd? How much did Monson lose by not having a Y chromosome? That's a real tally people ought to watch for, as well, not just the glory.

Large domination from El Bakkali in Lausanne. Some were asking him for a WR in his facebook page. I still maintain that he is a 3:30 miler in shape right now.
He train exclusively athletics in Iran and nothing else.
A brotherhood joked on me yesterday when I invoked the name of El Bakkali (corrupt federation, Ahizoun a thieve and surrounded by blood suckers ... etc).
Non Mister we are controlling one of the best distances in tracks and field.
Congrat El Bakkakli.

Where is the "intrigue" in 2.24?
Brits now use "intriguing" to mean "dogsh*t?"

I suppose it got deleted because there's a difference between pointing out biological reality ('Niyonsaba has internal testes') and being cruel to someone who was incorrectly recorded as female at birth through no fault of their own ('there's a dude in the race!').
However, the race was a farce and Coe needs to address this ASAP. These athletes were banned from 400 to the mile in the hope that the problem would go away. Evidently, it hasn't. The difference in body shape alone is clear as day whilst watching, even if you ignore the ridiculous turn of speed at the end of the race that left world class women in the dust.

Per Norwegian media Jakob had agreed with organisers that the light was set to 3:28, but realised it was not during the race. (It was set to 3:30).

You genuinely believe Niyonsaba is unaware she is perpetrating a fraud and has been doing so for the majority of her life? That she is innocent in this "farce"?
Sympathy for the Sociopath.
It's the new SJW Creed.

Obviously Niyonsaba now knows the truth but, in my opinion, there is a world of difference between Niyonsaba and say, Lia Thomas or Laurel Hubbard. But as I've pointed out, that recognition doesn't stretch to acceptance of any of these athletes in women's sport which I believe should be protected for biological females.

That's British English. We have a thousand ways to tell you you're rubbish without actually saying it. Contrast with the Dutch who will happily bury you in the most direct terms possible

Dead last.
She and the other American should not have been entered in that race. DL is not appropriate for their level.

Liar! During the world championships, you posted the following comment: “Amusan shut up the doubters twice. And just like that, less than year after she broke through, Camacho-Quinn is already yesterday's lady.”
As a Puerto Rican, I will never forget this hateful and disrespectful comment, and I will remind you of it every single time Camacho-Quinn defeats Amusan.
If Camacho-Quinn, who’s as plastic a Pietro Rican as you can get, breaks Amusan’s WR, then I’ll eat my hat and post it on YouTube while apologising in Spanish.
How dare you insult my people. Despicable. You carry a lot of hatred in your heart, probably because Jakob keeps destroying your country’s best 1500 runners.

Jakob, love him or hate him, you've got to love him!!
Stewy respects him:
"We have seen that Jakob is in a class by himself this year. What he was able to do tonight was pretty crazy, considering how early he took the lead and controlled the race. Sometimes you just have to say someone is too good, and today he was too good for the whole field."80 -
Embraces (hugs) you (:
