Official 2019 IAAF World Champs Day Seven (Thurs) Discussion Thread

Wow thats super quick.

so top 7 qualify here

Wow . . . all 3 US women advance . . . doesn't look like Simpson is slowing down one bit . . . great run & another pr for Hiltz . . .

Where did all these spectators come from? Is the Emir paying his subjects to show up? Under pain of death?

This might be one of the dumbest posts I've ever read on here? You wouldn't be surprised if he doesnt' medal? I'll bet you as much as you want. I'll bet twice as much as you that he medals.

They aren't having a horrible meet. They won a medal in the 800, they'll win one here in the 1500. Kipruto looks pretty good . HE could medal. The idea that AFricans aren't good and that doping explains their success is just so stupid. East Africans tha tmove to the US and live in the US do great like Meb.

If you move to the USA and run for Alberto, is that better than East Africa??????

+1

He made an almost identical post in reply to me the other day, but this time he's wisely chosen to ignore Hassan and Mo as examples of East African genetic superiority and is left with Meb.

As for the Ingebrigtsens and contact, here it is. Fair or Foul?

Have they DQ'd him yet? Blatant foul!

Etiopia protests without desire to exclude filip, but only to have Lemi to qualify. Jury refused protest and judged Filips fist as a race incident without further consequences. They can deliver another protest within one hour.

Watch the video again. Lemi stayed on the same line, with his feet hitting just inside the lane line with each stride. Filip moved to the inside and caused the trip.

F-Ing kept running into Lemi and hitting him with his arm.

Then when Lemi went ahead, F-Ing watched his legs, and purposely kicked his legs together.

The F-Ing should be DQ'd.

Hassan/Houlihan looked the best in heat 1. Muir in heat 2.

How did a non-obese woman make the shot put final?

is it just me or was that an obstruction of Hull in the final 100m by Winnie? She would have been top 7 otherwise I bet.

Well Craig Masback just punted on the doping talk regarding Salazar..

After telling us what happened, Leigh Diffey said, ""Craig, it's big news."

Then Craig didn't talk about it other than to say she had to make the decision. I'd rather him just be honest and say, "Yes i'ts huge knews but when I'm not broadcasting I'm a Nike employee so I'm not the best person to be talking about it."

Craig said the heat 2 women didn’t know what time they had to run to qualify on time. Really?

How hard is it to throw a javelin 50m, which some of these elite decathletes can't do? Nearly 50% worse than the world record.

Not saying I can throw 50m, but these elites who can't look like they should.
