Infinite patience from Chebet. Didn't lead a step till she needed to.
We’ve changed the thread title many times. At one point, it was called: Tokyo 2025 World Athletics Championships Day 8 Live Discussion Thread - US men bomb out of 4 x 400, Jamaica men bomb out of 4 x 100
Infinite patience from Chebet. Didn't lead a step till she needed to.

Wake me for the last 40 secs of the race.
Chebet!!! FTW in 14:54. If she can out kick Faith in a race that slow, she is unbeatable. Shelby with a great run.
It will be quite the story if Battocletti ever gets DQd for testing positive for Nandrolone- the same drug that both Shelby and Batocletti’s father tested positive for.
Kipyegon can't even beat Chebet in a slow race.
jesus that kick from chebet is scary, she has to be able to run at least 3:50

US 4 and 6 after leading the whole race is ???
Houlihan and Andrews 4th and 6th. Given the quality of that field, that exceeds what I would have thought was a best-case scenario. Shelby beats Tsegay. Andrews beats Ngetich.
What was the last lap split?
Kypyegon ran poorly, spent too much energy to podition herself.
Still, Chebet last 200 is too much for her, Kypyegon might need to make it a last hard 800 to win.

Was definitely expecting more from her when she ran the 1500 in Silesia.

Chebet is the biggest DAWG of them all. Can even outkick the ultimate kicker.
Ngetich is a good runner but should stick to the roads. No medals despite those PBs. Move up to the marathon - she might be the next 2:15
Ethiopians deservedly shut out again for doing absolutely nothing during the race.
Thank god Shelby didn’t medal.

Was that a 5k race or a 3 lap race after a warm-up?

Extremely weird comment. Almost like you're hoping this happens. This comes immediately after you celebrate a winner from a country with 400+ doping busts.
Bruce McAvaney consistently butchering Battocletti's name. It's pronounced how it's spelt Bruce.
