In other news, Lyles gets smoked in the 60m but nobody will care about the theatrics and trash talk he said beforehand. I know it's for the sport but he was beaten soundly here.
My take is that Hocker is near the top of the pyramid, but this is a chink in the armor that shows that he just isn't Jakob level when it comes to being a dual threat.
Jakob is the greatest of this era, adn there's still quite a gap for somebody to take that from him.
What’s the last global championship 1500m “dual threat” Jakob won?
Seems like they both have the armor chunk that championship 1500m races bring.
well, Jakob won the double at Euros and worlds last year. And he is ALWAYS in the mix for both. As for Hocker, well he couldn't finish top 3 in BOTH for his own country.
Down voting an observation is so soft. Didn't say anything about disagreeing with her pronouns. Just stated I what I heard: Butler makes a move and "they" take the lead.
almost anybody trying to use THEY THEY THEY in conservation has their natural flow of thought throttled and stumbles over and misses other important things to talk about. it's one more unnecessary thing for the brain to juggle. Obama famously limited his suit pairings in order to conserve mental energy. Small things make a difference.
Anybody demanding a THEY is a narcissist. And the hate towards Nikki would be cut down by 99% if she didn't push that stupidity.
She makes the comment that "it's not that deep." well, whether you're called a he or she is actually the thing that's "not that deep." so why care about it?
Ohhh FFS!!! you people and your idiotic culture war crap. Respect people and what they want to be called. And mind your darn business.
Kara voucher called every individual who took the lead in the womens 1500 a "they". So now everyone must abide by 1 individuals pronouns

I wish we saw moves likes this when Jakob was running the indoor 1500m in championship style races. Literally all his competitors did was watch Jakob’s back and nobody wanted to make a move to pass him.

who won? I hope Anthony did
I'm so not sure id categorize hyping up a race against a training partner as trash talk.

i don't get involved in culture wars. this is about a group of people pushing their beliefs on others. most people will live and let live. they want more than that. I don't play pretend. If I actually wanted to talk to her myself, Id call her they. but I don't. so I wont.

Euros lololol.
And at World’s/Olympics, Jakob?
Really? Jakob actually made the final for the WC the year after his Olympic win so there is that, and he was undefeated in European competition. Hocker seems to be like Jakob but even worse as now his trajectory is from 3rd to 5th nationally and not even making the final at the WC.

Last year, Jakob took the lead in both the European and World Indoor championship sat around 700m and NEVER let anyone take the lead back from him. He actually got attacked at World Indoors last year by a polish runner and Jakob fought hard to keep the lead. That's the difference between Cole and Jakob.

Lyles is thorougly unlikeable and a complete moron. Hopefully he has a good money manager.

Euros lololol.
And at World’s/Olympics, Jakob?
Im gonna talk about Euros after what just happened to Hocker at USAs. Jakob had to beat a world time leader and a world champion in europe, last year. I know it's not nathan green and vince ciatti, but it was an okay field.
Jakob has dual medaled on a world stage. Let me know when hocker does the same.

Hocker could have done that. he went to the front and ran 30/31. A 29 probably would have held them at bay, and he could have had his easy Jakob style race. And we'd all get to see just how "easy" it is.
Can we please stop pretending that an indoor race in March is reflective of race results of athletes at peak fitness?
Right, it's not like he said beforehand that his goal was the world championships, now he has zero chance at it given that Nuguse and Ciattei both have the standard and finished ahead of him. Stop with the excuses. He is NOT the best 1500m runner in the world.
Your right. He’s the reigning Olympic Gold Medalist. Shut the f*ck up. You are an idiot. Racing is racing. Not holding some privileged position.

Are you just ignorant? Pretending to be or just willfully ignorant?
