Zürich DL Live Thread + Live Reaction show at 4 pm ET

Too many killer interval sessions?

Yeah, Kerr burned out by 4 weeks off and all that altitude training after Paris...

He's locked in for LA 2028. This is just a training run for him.

Agree that everyone looks pretty cooked. Jakob looked off which may be due to illness but who knows. Great run from Nuguse, he is not scared of anyone anymore.

Pre was a mile, not a 1500. Before that, when did he last lose a 1500 with a pacer?

Agree Kerr and Hocker look burnt out, but they went gold/silver and silver/gold at World indoors and the Olympics this year, so I don't ding them either since they both showed up to race. Surprised there's as much vitriol for Kerr as there is lol. I wish he'd run 1 or 2 more DLs this year, but he's had a successful year by any measure (except maybe Jakob's lol)

I called Yared to my girlfriend on the couch before the race began just because I wanted him to win. I’m stoked.

I almost never suspect doping, but the fact that Hocker got smashed at Pre classic and now in every race since the Olympic is sus. Kerrs consistency is only slightly better.

Too much posing for moody insta posts🥴🥴

Yeah and the massive question is exactly how, how in gods name are you cooked when you've run only one major circuit race this season plus your Olympic campaign.

Like Jakob I think we can cut some slack - no it wasn't a classic from him and he will be disappointed but the guy ran 7.17 for 3000m a week ago. He's also run like 17 races this season?

I just don't get Josh Kerr on so many levels.

None of them will ever push from the front even with Jakob obviously not 100%.

What a fool. Hocker obviously seems a little cooked. But he still has run his three fastest 1500s over his last three races (Oly gold and two Diamond League podiums). Safe to say he is here to stay. Definitely a Big 4 shaping up for 2025, with Laros and Kessler knocking on the door. Going to be amazing.

Its a long year.

Hocker should’ve been in third position from the start, maybe would’ve fought for the win if he was.

That ought to be a short show.

Kerr spent all year calling himself the best 1500m runner in the world, barely showed up to any races compared to the other guys, and couldn’t even win in Paris after being paced for 1400m. Then he lays an egg in Zurich after taking a month off to train. The guy is terrible for the sport and I’m glad he got smoked.

East African revolution in mid-distance running is back!!

The whole field looked like they're ready for the season to end. Maybe it was the miserable weather.

I kind of think Olli Hoare should end his season. He's nowhere near where he should be and looks like he needs a reset.
