USATF Outdoors Day Three

Am i the only one who thinks Paul Swangard is packin' heat? dude probably has a mondo dong

Too bad we didn't get to hear from him. Too busy interviewing the 3rd place finisher.[/quote]

For us T & F fans, we've seen Bayer come agonizingly close time and time again to make these BIG teams. I thought it was the story of the race.[/quote]

Ummmmm.....No....typical racist perspective.[/quote]

LOL. I have 5 adopted kids, 2 black. And why aren't you crying about all the air time Felix is getting? The girl has virtually no chance to even make the team yet she's been interviewed ad nauseam.

Horrid running conditions for any of the guys above 120 pounds. 91F and humid. Amazing that 150 pound Bayer was able to do so well in those nasty swampass conditions.

This. As expected, people here already started trashtalking Grace about her decision to run the 1500, but in reality the extreme weather conditions affected her much more than the others who are smaller and lighter.

Why? Taller runners tend to be heavier. All that mass generates heat, which needs dispensing. Heat is proportional to body mass, which goes as the cube of height, but heat dissipation is proportional to surface area, which goes as the square. As surface area lags behind mass, bigger runners overheat more easily and lose performance.

Muhammad, McLaughlin, Seymour get big Qs

I am not crying about anything. I just know racism when I see it.

And you feel a need to point out you adopted black kids why exactly?

So Houlihan closes a a 4:03 race in 60.6. Muir just closed a 348 race in 57. If Team USA wants a meadl, they need to get fitter.

As for the steeple, Bayer said if you make the team you've got a good shot at making the final and a medal as well to be honestly. Nothing about that last lap looked like a medal to me for team usa. I know it's hot as hell but 60.6 final lap isn't going to get you a medal in a men's steeplechase.

Conditions were extremely bad today - temperature in the 90's. No one can close in their usual closing speed under those conditions, not in a mile and definitely not in a 3k/5k/steeple. Houlihan wasn't pressured much, maybe she could have run faster.

I'm not saying anyone will beat Muir, but that today's race is a pretty useless when trying to determine the medal chances of our 1500m runners. If anything, this race showed nothing but class, to have so many fast times and PRs despite these conditions.

Benjamin vs. Warholm will be the short distance race to watch in Doha. He is just so damn good

Benjamin made that look easy.

After first round of 2nd flight of LJ, Tara Davis is sitting in 10th. She will miss the finals. Will she return the money she collected in her gofundme page?

And there it is again. I don't know, maybe the name "Tara failure" gives it away?

Legitimate criticism = Hate. Got it. Was unawares.

Felix misses individual team but makes relay pool. Probably a good thing for her to be prepared in 2020 to make 1-2 individual teams.

Wimbley wins the title.

Samba out for the year?

OMG, since she's relay-eligible, they'll still jam Allyson Felix down our throats.

Felix needs to drop a few pounds, just saying.

LOL

Anyone else very sick of the Alyson Felix talk on the NBC coverage. I'm sure the crowd was so excited about her finishing 6th. Maybe they were applauding the winner?

Racism again. Felix much lighter than Wimbley, not even close!

I mean, she This is her first racing event in 8 months and just her 3rd race.

It does deserve some attention. Plus she is the most decorated female olympian of all time

Tara Davis started a gofundme aiming to raise 5k to pay for her to go to the world championships. All year she's been nowhere close to that level of competitiveness. And if she did qualify, USATF would pay for it!

So she lied to her friends and family and has collected over 1000 dollars. She should give that money back or donate it to charity.

Felix beats two girls and she is a story. I hope she declines being in the relay pool , there will pressure to give he a spot in the prelims and maybe even the finals.
