With a 49.62 pr this year, Jaeger was most definitely a surprise to beat out the doper Naser.

Heh I mean the difference is Hagos is just broken tactically. He runs like a panicky amateur at this point.

Lyles start is usually horrible. Looked like he stood up and started pounding post holes again.

If everyone is doping and shoes are terrific and running surfaces keep getting faster why is the 400m hurdle and 100m meet records still standing after many years?

Flooded takeoff board for the LJ!
rain is brutal tonight

Lyles had been building in the 100, so this race was a bit of a setback, but only a minor one given the conditions.

OK sprint experts. Somebody please give me an equivalent time with no rain and no wind.
Is this close to Bolt's Brussels 9.77 in bad conditions? If I remember correctly it wasn't raining half as much for Bolt.

PEDs!

Mabe they didnt have to swim half the race(s)?

Hoppel also had a bad one, maybe 1:48, earlier in the season, before running very well to make the American team behind Brazier and Lutkenhaus, so hopefully he'll be at his best in Tokyo. I guess Hoey now knows a little better how to run one of these.

it hasn't rained every year in lausanne, has it?

Yeah it was a weird 56 though. Because she started really evenly - didn't get out too hard at all, ran a great line (again) from the break to the 200m point, but maybe she accelerated too much around that curve because I swear there was a moment up the home straight she was looking at those blue lights and visually put the breaks on a bit - and still ran a low 56.
Combined with the weather, that's how I think we ended up a second off Silesia. But if 1.55.69 is an average run for her then it's hard to see how she is even being challenged in Tokyo.
Yeah, running a mid 1:55 in those conditions is a pretty solid effort from Hodgkinson.
Unless we get some sort of complete anomaly of a performance where an athlete like Duguma, Hunter-Bell, or Moraa run a 1.5-2s second PB, or it's a very slow, tactical race, I honestly don't see how anyone challenges her in Tokyo.
I don't think anyone's run a sub 1:56 since Paris last year and Hodgkinson's just casually banging out 1:54s and 1:55s on her return.
2017 was the last time a Worlds was won in 1.55.
she literally needs to run this to win cause 1.56 is a dangerous gamble70 -
His start was just awful. With a better start, I don't think he wins, but it probably looks more like a competitive 9.9x low.

Noah will win the 100 depending on if the Jamaicans can handle the rounds.
Seville and Kishan have shown they are unable but damn a 9.8 in the pouring rain
Sheesh

Rain has been on-and-off. Temp feels good though, for the 800/5000.
IMO it will be essentially rain-free for the meet.
Bring it!! 🏃♀️
Rain free for the meet, huh...
HA.
Remind me never to ask you for the numbers for lotto.

If Hoey peaks for the DL final while the other guys are peaking for worlds he could get that win
Let´s cross our fingers for that and for Nuguse in the 1500m!
That isn´t unrealistic at all.

Still not sure how Naser peaked in April for a season where the championship is in September
I don't believe she did run that 48.6 time. Her April performance/time was done in Jamaica. I am always suspicious of Jamaican times.

Seville is just gonna Seville - the same as he did in Paris last year. He looked like he might run 9.6X in the final after floating across the line in 9.81 looking at Lyles in the semi. Did the same in '23 in Budapest.
But I agree, something feels very deja-vu'ish with Lyles at the moment heading into Tokyo.
