Official 2018 Monaco Diamond League Discussion Thread

you guys realize that Jakob went from 3:36.06 to 3:31.18 in a single race?

Damn. Youth is amazing.

Simply stunning for a 17yo to come 3rd in a stacked DL 1500 and run 3:31. Makes Webb's run look pedestrian.

Two brothers from Norway are the top clean 1500 athletes in the world. Astonishing.

Centro got boned. Does he have any phone calls to make now? lol

You know this how?

Centro's best run since Rio. He's got a shot at the AR this summer if he keeps progressing.

People seem to have a lot of insider info on who's doping around here. From my observations, it seems like white athletes are the only clean runners out there. I can't even imagine how a thought like that gains traction in a place like this.

55.31 ( I'm starting to wonder if Bram som should countinue pacing, he's not that good at it)

1:51.71

Can Som retire from pacemaking? I have never seen him hit the requested pace...

55

1:51 (56)

2:33 (42 300 .. 56 -400 pace)

3:28 (55)

Seems pretty solid to me. Damn near perfect actually.

Are Norway dudes getting popped for EPO left and right?

These brothers have sketchy Italian coaches and agents?

No?

Shut it down, soyboy.

LMAO they ingebrigtsens are just as suspicious as any good Kenyan

Can someone from LRC wheel lane 1 of that track? I'm guessing 398

Solid first race back for Colleen Quigley - 9:20.99. I know she has been banged up for a while.

in the right race, I agree

Jakob is our future.

M.A.G.A

Seeing how good BTC athletes are running currently will we see Jager go sub 8 in the men's steeple?

Something wrong with the clock today?

It has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with the financial/administrativeresources, reputations, and governing bodies of the home countries of the athletes.

Kenyan runs unreal Steeple WR and called dirty.

White kid runs unreal 1500 (would make him the 7th fastest AMERICAN EVER at 1500 for prospective) at age 17 and we say "youth is amazing"
