Agreed.

Where was Molly Seidel during the Tokyo recognition ceremony?

I also agree.
Next year she won’t have to try and get qualifier in the heat before the final.
After tonight’s races I’m not expecting anything super fast tomorrow. The runners that ran in Tokyo looked so tired.
I’m thinking the men’s race will be a lot slower than we have been talking about on these threads.
But I’m still watching.
I think we just discovered that those pacing lights can cut both ways.
You clearly have never been to or witnessed a sporting event in the US. The national anthem plays before every event.

LOL this stop-gap measure by the IAAF was bound to catch up to them eventually when the men start to actually train for these different distances.
their hands were tied. im sure they wanted it all. this couldn't have played out any better. they will get it all pretty quickly now. we all knew this would happen, but who imagined it would happen so quickly.
With the increasing number of trans athletes, I think it's time for a third category of competition. Someone is going to set a women's WR and we're going to have to live with it.

Name one trans athlete that is currently competing with elite female runners and winning.
I'll wait...

How can anyone think that's a valid point?
The vast majority of men would never be able to beat the very best female runners. That's not an argument for allowing them into women's races.

I responded to a specific comment, I'm assuming you are capable of reading it.

The IOC has allowed trans women to compete in Olympic sport since 2004. The poster claims that there is an increasing number of trans athletes (which is unsupported by facts) and seems to suggest that one of these trans athletes is going to set a WR because of it.
I am merely requesting that they name one single trans athlete that has demonstrated such an ability at any time in the last 16 years that trans athletes have been eligible to compete in track & field.
I'm still waiting.

Not to the extent they currently can.

If you include people with XY chromosomes and CAIS in the category there are plenty of examples. They're not what most people would think of as trans, but if you go down the self-id road it's impossible to make any kind of distinctions.
Surely the sport's governing body can edit a DL report and get the times right. Gave the winner the same time as Gidey.
I see the BBC TV UK is broadcasting Saturday's events on the red button at 9pm.

Glad I didn’t pay and that I went to bed. When you sense a scam you best believe it is one. The sport is fkn dead.

Yes, Brit coverage and commentating would be very welcomed. Imagine watching this on NBC and they spend the whole time talking about Felix’s journey/medal, Sha’Carri’s hurt feelings and proceed to fk up every event with commercial breaks and cutting off final laps to show the field events. Between VPN and IPTV services costing less than $10/mth why in the world would anyone ever subject themselves to NBC’s coverage or some garage band track and field service charging you $12?
Fascinating that some of you think a WR or even PBs will occur by Olympic athletes 2 weeks after the Olympics.
The concept of not being mentally sharp, being tired, and coming down from the high of the Olympics have not occurred to many of you.

Why is it not obvious to so many of you that athletes who competed in the Olympics would be tired? Why has it not occurred to so many of you that they would be mentally, emotionally and physically drained?

Des already mistakenly called Hiltz she 😰
Swangard also made a similar mistake when talking about who was next to them on the starting line. To think that in what looks like an 11 woman field and you can quickly go down the starting line and say "next to her is xxx, next to her is yyy, and then next to them is zzz" is unrealistic.
As of now no apology, and I think it should stay that way.

I'm all for people being able to identify however they choose. However, the trouble I have with referring to someone like Hiltz as "they" is that I'm having to force my brain to use a plural term for a singular person. It's not the gender that trips me up, it's the singular/plural grammatical rules that have been hard-wired into my brain since preschool.
