Have to feel for Jeremiah Azu, who quite literally ran 2 of his best 60m races this evening (6.45-6.46), only to finish 4th. 6.46 and no mdeal is diabolical.
Well done to JA for securing a title on his global debut though - man is legit and waiting for a wind legal 9.7/9.8 now.
He ran 9.75 in +2.1. That is probably a 9.76 in +2.0.
But Peacock says the broadcast starts at 1:30 Eastern?
Apparently we don't get to see the first W1500 heats. Crazy!
Peacock has a thing about screwing the women’s races. At the US indoor they had massive commercial breaks during the women’s 3K while the men’s was shown uninterrupted. If they have to make a cut, it will always be the women. I think their coverage sucks so bad anyway, but it is blatantly sexist.
It is infuriating that they cut the 1500m heat with an American runner and decided to open with heat 2 that had no American runner. Then they launch into a recap of the morning which is available to watch on replay. They chose not to show afternoon races in order to show morning coverage a second time!!! WTF!
Bromell, I thought better of you. You should have left some in the tank and run 6.47 in the semi instead. A bit of a rookie mistake. You would have most likely still gotten silver...

His reaction time was 0.02 slower in the final which is a good chunk of his time difference i believe.

Doesn't surprise me. You can't keep pumping those starts out over and over. That was also Baker's downfall.
Happy to see Lagat not move to the next round. Pihlstrom looks good, but I'd still put my money on Nader. Little guy has some wheels. Shocker from Garcia...where has THAT been for 2 years? Had not picked him to advance over Farken.
Garcia is kinda a tactical monster indoors, I feel like that’s somewhat consistent. He’ll struggle a lot more if it goes under 3:36. Not sure if will though.
True, but it looked like Cooper ran really smart. It appeared like he tried to pass him after 400, but Bloudek sped up and I think that Cooper realized there was no need to expend the energy. I don't think I've ever seen a high schooler make running a 1:46 in the 800 look so easy.
How many high schoolers have you seen running a 1:46 800m making it look difficult?
