This is a hurdles event again BTW. If you recall there was something sketchy with the start in the 110M hurdles final.
Definitely an issue with the timing mechanism. There's no way that everyone in a race PBs setting NRs and a WR. That is highly improbable if not impossible.
Exactly! People are shocked because they have not been following this event and I blame the lack of coverage on the 100mH. I called the semis will see a WR, Keni’s 12.20 was on borrowed time since last season. I thought it was going to be broken by Jasmine or Keni herself in the semis and Keni ran a 12.27!. This 12.12 is going to get broken before Budapest lol, with about 10 women with a shot at wining gold. This event is the best and most exciting so far right now in T&F
It’s so competitive that even the four US women that competed also had a shot at gold.

There’s nothing strange about a WR race in a short sprint pulling everybody to run their best times. The runners have eyes and can see someone pulling away they all ran the race of their life to catch her. Also, it’s a very deep field with brutal qualifications and all the heats had to be ran like a final. Keni ran 12.27! She hasn’t been sub 12.30 in a while. You can also time the video of the race yourself and see the time is legit.
She's improved her PB by almost 0.4s over the space of 2 days.
Give me a f*cking break.
This alone is a giant red flag.
But Sidney obliterated the field and smashed the WR… no one’s speculating that result. Shut up! What are you the Anti Doping agency. Let THEM do their job.
During Sunday's afternoon session the wind was gusting and throwing off the marks of long jumpers and pole vaulters. Often when the wind is gusting behind hurdlers it impacts the race by (1) pushing hurdlers into the hurdles resulting in crashes and (2) incredibly fast times for those that run clean races. Both of the those occurred. Hence the reason to question the wind readings. Where were the readings taken? Did anyone accidentally interfere with the equipment? Many of us remember that years ago a jumper stood in front of the equipment and screwed up the wind readings for a race. It would be nice to put all these questions/doubts to bed and acknowledge Amusan's performance as an outstanding gold medal win!

The wind reading argument is ridiculous. It is not hard to run a wind meter. This was one of the most technologically advanced meets we've ever seen. They are literally live-streaming meters per second in races, and showing us the most advanced splits ever. Other meets there have had 10m splits on the 100m, 50m splits on the 200m, and hurdle splits for every hurdle. There are probably 2 officials for every job, even some of the automated ones. It was a particularly fast race, and there are outlier races like this at global championships all the time.
Nothing sketchy about it. When somebody is running a WR pace, most athletes unconciously open up untapped potential. Only when the race is finished do they realized how fast all of them ran
Really? So how come Femke Bol didn't run a sub 52? How come the other competitors in Sydney's race didn't run sub 53?

Dude, 1. you can’t compare a short and fast sprint to a lap round the stadium.
2. Quality of the field, there’s only 1 other woman that can hang with Sydney, a fit Dalilah and they pushed each other to improve their PBs and break WRs. Dalilah didn’t start running fast times until Syd. Sydney is miles apart from the rest of the field. The 100mH has about 10 women that can win the event any race day with matching talent, there’s little separating these women, put those women together they will push each other to incredible times.
Letsrun has found verything is sketchy but the men's 1500. I wonder why? Hmm.
Even being black doesn't protect you from the racism card if you dare question a black athlete's performance. Looks like it's spreading from LetsRun to Twitter.
Same... I don't know about that 19.3 now either. I wouldn't have questioned it if the Allen thing didn't happen and now this.
What is even a plausible connection between a hypothesized bug in the starting block sensor and one that causes the total run time to be underreported?
According to wind/altitude calculator I looked at, Amusan's 12.12 given .9 mps wind and Eugene elevation was worth 12.19 with no wind. Her 12.06 with 2.5 mps wind was worth 12.23 with no wind.
