    re: snowflakes

    I know I act and talk differently from the rest of LRC or mankind or otherwise but trolling is really another dimension not compatible with my type of benevolence, wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Trolling also tends to carry innuendo and provocation none of which is part of my natural being. I truly wanna have a very refined and delicate conversation with people and impart my skills and knowledge to them.

    If more people can act, think, speak, be like me in terms of frequency, energy and vibration, perhaps just maybe sin could be in this world averted or otherwise.

    How in the world can anyone say, "based of outdoors 2023 and indoors 2024, I think Nuguse beats Kerr." Have you been watching the same races I have? Kerr DESTROYED Yared at world outdoors. Kerr DESTROYED Yared at world indoors.

    And how can someone also say, "Nuguse has a much higher ceiling than Kerr." Kerr's ceiling is twice best in the world - which can only be matched.

    Regardless, I think the buzz for this race is great for the sport. Noah Lyles and Michael Johnson are both excited for it.

    It's a non championship race, with pacers. Essentially it will be a time trial.

    Nuguse has a 3:43:97 Mile PB ...

    In these conditions, even in PEAK SHAPE, Kerr finishes 2 seconds behind. Nuguse is absolutely UNTOUCHABLE by Kerr.

    Kerr is better at 800.

    Kerr is better at 2 miles.

    Kerr beat Nuguse at their last 1500.

    There is zero chance Kerr is being broken by anyone in this race.

    Who will win?

    But Agnes, Richards is a runner. You have to choose a stalker.

    I can choose anyone I like, and I choose Ben Richards."

    At least one of those statements is objectively false.

    Can Nuguse at least win a senior race first before the yanks start talking about him like the second coming of Christ?

    Yank here. I actually think Nuguse has been unfairly disrespected since World Indoors, with everyone deciding he lacks the fire or killer instinct to win. Like ok, he’s won NCAA titles, USA titles, Diamond League races, a global silver medal and challenged Jakob at the end of a 3:43 mile but for some reason he lacks that magical essence needed to win a major gold medal (because he’s failed in his first two opportunities)…it doesn’t actually hold water for me.

    As for his high ceiling/talent level, the man has already run 3:43.97. Can’t really argue with that.

    And what we’re talking about here, the Bowerman Mile, is a Diamond League race. Nuguse was won 2 DL races (2 for 5), while Kerr has won 0 DL races (0 for 6).

    If Nuguse win this race he will have eternal respect.

    re: Old Passant

    Nuguse gets a hard time, but objectively he’s a pretty passive racer when push comes to shove. Look back at the ‘21 US Trials where he let Hocker split him and another runner to go catch Centro. Last year he lets Waskom get by. At both Worlds he lost position without much resistance. He’ll have to potentially bring a little more physicality in the future. You saw Kerr manhandling Barega, the Italians in a way that would make Makhloufi proud. Nuguse is going to have to bring a little bit of that if he’s going to be competing for space with Kerr. He doesn’t have the shiftiness of Wightman or Hocker let’s say to do it with surges and inside moves.

    What about Centro? He should be there also.

    I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Kerr isn't even top-3 in this race. His first sce outdoors last year he finished 9th behind all of the OAC. I don't think it matters that much for Kerr if he doesn't place well, though I'm sure he'll want to. In each of the last four championship years, he's ran his fastest race of the year in the final of the global champs. He peaks at the right time. Of the three big hitters, I think Kerr would be the least bothered by a disappointing performance

    He has a whole other layer of pressure on himself now.. he's expected to win, so anything else will be disappointing.

    Kerr and Jakob will play games with each other and Nuguse will capitalize on it.

    I think thev running world has about a 90% chance of getting what they want, assuming there's a Jakob, Yared, Josh start -- which maybe gets even odds.

    We just got a press release from TrackTown USA announcing the three headliners for the Bowerman Mile at the 2024 Pre Classic on May 25: Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Josh Kerr, and Yared Nuguse.

    It will be Ingebrigtsen's first race of 2024 and his first race against Josh Kerr since he was upset in the 2023 World Championship final.

    Who you got???

    Jakob, Kerr, Naguse (or, Jakob, Naguse, Kerr)
