They beat everything to death. They will forever be remembered however for the years they creamed over Marion Jones.
Also a bit word of mouth but I think one of the discus throwers was a dancer at one point in time…

Individual stories are what engages a viewer who doesn't know who these people are.

Allyson Felix has a child, if you hadn't heard.
I've also heard that Ellie Purrier St. Pierre lives on a farm, I think they only briefly referenced it though.
She also got up very early to milk cows. That had to have made her tough.

Wow, Shae Anderson makes the final.
Lost in Mu's 48.8 split excitement was a 49.9 split by Shae.
You wouldn't know it by watching NBC. She doesn't exist.

YES I turned off the sound and those commercials blah blah social blah
Good point the average fan will remember the story and not the name, so when the olympics come around they will be oh that is the … person, they are great!
Valarie Allman's throws tonight:
69.45 - #4 US
69.92 - #3 US
66.36 - #19 US
68.65 - #6 US
68.46 - #7 US
Foul
She also threw #2 US yesterday.
Coming into the meet, she had 3 of the top-9 all-time. She now has 7 of the top-9 all-time.
Second and fourth place do not have the standard.

Once Shae Anderson gets the hurdles figured out, she could be seriously good in the 400H. I think she has more potential in the 400H than Anna Cockrell.

Yes. I got in a long, ridiculous discussion about 400 speed and the hurdles and I'm not going there again. I think Shae can make the relay pool now, maybe more?

Agree with the comment that Simpson was working. Looked strained on the backstretch and not covering moves as easily as in years past.
Purrier, Osika, and Maclean or Johnson. Hiltz also looked the best they've looked all year (see, it's not that hard).
Hope she sees this bro

I'm just happy they have so much coverage. Between the two channels basically every race is covered.

Are they still allowed to “chase the standard” before Tokyo?

Not anymore this time, if people don't have the standard they'll take the top 3 with it

Yeah, I have had the whole thing on mute. Intolerable.
Godwin is built like a brick sht house. How does he make it a full lap?
RIP LaShawn Merritt. Legend but his time is over unless USATF pulls some sketchy trick to put him on a relay or the mixed relay
Looks like NC A&T put two guys into the 400m final.
Now, Norman had the tougher semi but I think Cherry is looking better. The way Ross closed was impressive too. The top 6 I figured for the pool have all made it.
WTF! Hobbs back in?
