Grand Slam Track Kingston Day 3 Sunday Thread (+ live video recap show at 10 pm ET).

Yeah the hurdles event groups where half the races don’t have hurdles seems sorta half baked.

That women's short hurdles 100m had a -3.4 headwind. Now it makes sense. That is a very impressive time for those conditions.

The men's 100m short hurdles was into a -2.0 as well

Why even have the doubles?

Michael Johnson slamming down a Red Stripe for the win!

After 3 days it is getting tired how they are trying to make these races sound much more exciting than they really are

Well... honestly, it's one of the few demonstrations of interest and excitement outside of the announcers ...

All true, but yet this was another reminder that the US women are a non factor in global 5000s. So strange when results at 10000 have been respectable.

I just tuned in for the first time this weekend and saw a guy win the 100m in 10.55, and celebrated like it was a lifetime achievement... what?

Are some of these races for the general public? I've seen a bunch of bigger names mentioned with GST so honestly confused.

They decided to not set them up so they could save time, because too many track “fans” are complaining about the meet taking too long.

If Wanyonyi winning the 1500 is a great example of why the double format is interesting, hurdle pros running without hurdles is a great example of why it is not.

I’ll say it again, much rather see Crouser throw the discus.

Do you even like track and field?

Look at all the downvotes lol. 😂

I'm going swimming now.

Get a grip yall. So what if these 100m times are slower than you'd like? The conditions are not ideal and so far most sprinting races have been into a headwind that's -3.0 or greater. The times are still remarkable and doubling up is what is the most impressive part here.

Wanyonyi will win easily

I disagree. I thought it was really interesting to see the women hurdlers run a flat 100 and see how much further apart they were in the flat than the hurdles race. It really does tell you a lot about the value of good hurdling technique. I don't mind the doubling aspect, I just find the pace and production lacking.

"Easy to tell apart... the white kit and the red kit"

John Anderson SHUT UP 😂

If he loses to a 1500 guy, it will be a much bigger upset than the other way around.

My guess is some are overestimating how much a 1500 is going to tire the 800 studs a day later. We’ll see.
