Official 2018 Rome Golden Gala DL Discussion Thread - Will Emma Coburn rule the steeple in 2018?

Conseslus in 8:08.41. Went back to his showboating ways. Kigen clipped the last barrier and landed badly.

This was too soon after Pre. I think these two can go much faster.

Where’s El Bakali? Hope he isn’t injured.

or glowing.

Stadium seats about 80,000 so even a great turnout looks crappy

I won't even say it. We have to PAY for that NBC garbage?

And some still wonder ...

Comical amount of doping and age cheating in that men's 1500. Not even worth watching.

Emma first clean finisher in the steeple.

Visser = love.

Whenever I’m down, such bitter posts always cheer me up. I so enjoy seeing you lot stew.

I don't know about his current relations with Nike, but he's currently training in Ethiopia.

it was a disappointing race though. We will see after Bislett and Monaco whether they are slowing down.

I know she’s a doper but Ruth Jebet was the only one driving those fast times. Even at the worlds where she was run out, it was because of her.

That's kind of how it works. Someone provides a service, and then you pay for it. Think you're entitled to it for free?

Is it time to put Tuka ine category of most obvious dopers of all time?

Came out of nowhere to drop from 1:46 down to 1:42 in 2015. Medals at worlds that year.

Then never comes even close ever again

Man, no kidding. Throw kiplagat, souileman, and Birech into that same bin. Notice that after two dismal years, the Aden athletes are having a resurgence again:

Haroun 44.37

Souileman 3:34

Bummer, Youtube streamer had to shut it down (said his server was running hot?). Some play by play of M Steeple?

Weird. Steeple was on my live feed on nbcsn app.

What do you think? No Shanghai...no Eugene (Nike athlete)...no Rome. Something seems amiss. Remember, he's Moroccan with a sudden breakthrough last year.

lol all your Italian-coached E. African buddies are loaded and you know it. Hell, in the NEXT post you made after this one you reference Kenyan doping.

You are rooting for a bunch of cheaters, dawg.

What in the world happened to Gesa Krause? It seems like Manangoi, she has lost her confidence. This race seems to be a large step backwards for someone that won a DL race less than 10 months previous. I am unaware of any injuries or interruption in her training. Anyone?

The incident has yet to be confirmed by the IAAF or the AIU, and she has not be penalized. So we can't say that she is a doper.
