No he's not - he's not even remotely in race shape and he didn't care. Someone try and tell me he didn't mail that in? Weldon - you out there? He ran 1.50.7 - he didn't become a national HS level kid overnight - either he came into this meet not race fit and/or didn't care about the result.
I mean even Wanyoni didn't give it his all because he knew he had the money locked up - he didn't fight Arop at all there - he was looking around with 50 to go making sure he had his numbers right.
I don't see this "pinnacle of competition" at all? Or am I missing something?
This is why the doubles are so f***ing stupid. Grant is doing the same thing!! So stupid
This is the most cowardly race I've ever seen from Fisher. Pathetic really. I hope to goD Teare outkicks him or Kwemoi but it proves weldon's point. what we saw the other day was a prelim, was half the race. So Fisher is playign this very smart. Why kill yourself for no reason in hot weather?

Fisher doesn’t care about the win. Saving his legs for the real championship but also probably already knows in his head what place he needs to win the 100k:
This is an issue I'm noticing with the league. There needs to be more event groups if it wants to attract more athletes. There are 1500m guys that don't want to race the 800m and vice versa. There needs to be a 400/800 group, a 1500m/3000m group, etc...
There needs to be no groups. Just have a 100, 110 hurdles, 200, 400, 400 hurdles, 800, 1500, 3k
Make it a two hour program, no dead time, invite big fields for the distance races, lots of prize money.

Gebriwhet could still win 100k if fisher misplaces himself....This is the absolutely the right tactic from the ethiopians.
This is such BS. The announcer explains how the point system is supposed to increase the "competitive" aspect of track and field, and then how Grant Fisher is calculating that he only needs to finish 3rd in the 3k in order to "win". Doesn't that seem contradictory?
Kerr will get better. But I 100% believe we have already seen the best he has to offer. He's about to go on the trip that Wightman's been on since 2022.
Agreed. It's premature to write him off completely because of a bad weekend. But other than potato Tim, he's the elder statesman among the best 1500 runners in the world. It's more likely than not that his stellar run from summer 2023 to summer 2024 was his peak.

You're alone on this opinion bro, the doubles are great an interesting. As someone else said, it's cool to see athletes run off-events
