Official 2016 Monaco Diamond League Live Discussion Thread

Ludlow is just about a second off the American record. Too bad she's not going to the Olympics, because she'd have three male pacers, if they go for it, plus Sum in all likelihood. Being just behind Sum is truly world class for a female, as Sum had been dominating everyone else until the CAS decision.

Hit the last hurdle and fell.

Thanks, had to go to a meeting and missed the race. Was he running well prior to that?

Not his best race

He didn't really look good all race to me. He was behind a few runners before he fell, he hit several hurdles, and he seemed to be running very far to the right, almost on top of the person in the lane next to him. Maybe that somewhat bothered him.

Thanks! Multiple non troll responses on Letsrun, who would have thunk it?

Does Caster have a higher testosterone count than Justin Gatlin.....

He appeared to be accidentally choking on a chain/pendant/crucifix thingy. What bad luck! I guess it just wasn't in god's plan today....

Solid run for Bayer, 8:17. He said he thought 8:15 shape or better, so he may not be happy, but promising for the future.

That's a big change from the Olympic Trials, where his finishing shuffle looked worse than most marathon finishers.

This goes to show you that on any given day things can go terribly wrong.

Anybody know how tall McLeod is? Can't find his height listed anywhere. Actually looks shorter than Colin Jackson.That cross-in-the-mouth thing has got to go.

2 misses now

Tamberi missed his third attempt at 2.41 and somehow managed to screw up a tendon in his left ankle. Looked like his shoe might have exploded. Got stretchered off.

Total ABC Wide World of Sports moment: PRs to set an Italian NR and then effs himself off the Rio podium.

Barshim looking like he still has back problems. Kynard should have been jumping here. Bondu the man to beat.
