Official 2015 IAAF Doha Diamond League Live Discussion Thread

Didn't realize (because I'm an idiot) it was going to be so hot. Wish I'd picked Gatlin or Pichardo or Perkovic as my team captain on my fantasy league instead of Farah. Probably going to have a tough time getting the 7:27 MR.

HA - so not only do all the Nike athletes and all the Adidas athletes have matching uniforms, but the two companies' singlets look close to identical in color.

How can they plan these things so poorly? There's no hope of being able to tell who is who.

By the way, that high jumper, Airine Palsyte. Yowsa.

Oooofff jumping 18+ and losing. Epic.

Great every African is dressed the same by Nike in the 3k.

18.06 m = 59'-3"

that's far. very far

If Gatlin gets his own thread then Pichardo should have 2 of his own threads. 18.06 is ridiculous.[/quote]

yea, and all the black guys have the same heads so its even worse!

You be cracking me up, Mr. Rojo. I like your style.

The 800m tonight is proof that Americans are overly worried about. Mo Aman ran 1:47. If an American did that there would be several threads debating theories on What Went Wrong.

Do you guys seriously watch an event like this? Meb Farah, ok, big name (SKINNY guy though) but other than that virtually all NO NAME Kenyan runners.

Enjoy.

I've got (yet another) grinder[\b] afternoon date. Wish me luck.

It's not so hot, this is the same weather three guys ran 12:51 here a couple years ago. It's about the dew point, baby!

MO AMAN IS DONE!hahaha

Mo slowing the field..? Typical.

HOw dumb are these guys. Even if they win. How do they let Farah have the lead in every race which is always slow with 800 to go. At least make him work for it.

...RIP Farah's career
