Official Grand Slam Track Day 2 Thread + Live 1500 show at 7:45 ET & post-race show at 8:45 pm ET

Are they not going to talk at all about what is going on in Jones' life with Xavier Worthy?

well they announced yesterday that HS students would get free admission today and Sunday.

MJ "our meet is a failure getting people in the seats go give away free seats, beg people to come in"

There's no prestige to this yet. So what else is there? All the tennis slams crow about the money for all 2 weeks. Especially the US Open.

No, but I'm sure she said, "f this, no way I'm running a 1500 I don't need to."

Ok. I’m posting this without seeing any comments. Just want to pose my comments fresh .

It seems to me the doubling format is no special sauce. 1) they don’t have any way to show you quickly who won the “slam” with graphics etc

2) each race is half as important because of the format not more important. in the women’s 1500 I did pay a little more attention to see if Hiltz finished 3rd or 4th but that actually didn’t matter.

3) the women’s hurdles just finished. I’m now supposed to care who might be better at 100 than the actual race they all focus on?

if they want to do event groups fine. give $50k for each event wins maybe give a $25k bonus for the overall winner if they want.

Yeah, I they happening to be flipping around the CW on a Saturday afternoon....

Track and field is immune from touching anything controversial. Every comment has to be complete admiration. No criticism is allowed

I thought they said dehydration

The silent sections are the commercial breaks. Some of the broadcasts have commercials there. on Peacock they are showing the video feed.

better than seeing the Peacock P.

Fire all these grand slam interns. No sound for intros.

of course hiltz is a bigot? huh? have you missed her public comments on trump/politics etc? she's a deranged, judgmental bigot. and so are you by the sound of it

Jakob is not even close to being a top 3 star in the sport.

Sydney

Athing is still more popular

Lyles

Duplantis

Grant Holloway

Shacarri

Rai

Gabby Thomas

Probably a few more

Right - but what do you mean she's a non-factor? Oh, in the financial stakes? Isn't this league all about the best of the best and the prestige of racing and crossing the line first?

If she has just dropped out because she isn't in the money the entire integrity of your event starts coming into question. I said this on a thread maybe 2-3 weeks ago that athletes either mailing it in or not giving full effort when they were out of the $$$ was going to be a terrible optic especially with small fields and Wejo basically suggested that was crazy.

Well here we are in our first second-leg of an MD/LD group and we had someone just not even bother starting and another in Goule-Toppin just jog it in probably quite happy with the minimum prize $$$ because the difference between that and a place or two higher just wasn't worth it.

Once again, the entire concept needs a year 2 rethink/rework.

The all important shots of her Nike shoes

I don't really care about her comments on Trump. I disagree but who cares, at least 30% of the country has chronic TDS.

I do care that she advocates for men in women's sports. And falsely acts as if she is a personally victim of the ban on men in women's sports.

Agree. That is one thing Athlos got right.

100m runners entering the track tonight.

Contrast that with the 800m introductions for Athlos:

Sure, I'm the same sort of bigot too. I would have wanted nothing to do with those who supported Hitler in Germany, or Stalin in the Soviet Union, or Putin in Russia...

Matt Centros goofy a$$ fits perfectly in this d-level sporting event

Jess Hull came out of nowhere to run 3:50 at 27 years old last year and win the Olympic silver after doing absolutely her whole career….and now she’s back to doing nothing. Let’s see what she’ll do this year. Love her personality but I just can’t get over her freakish progression.
