Track meet crowds and the men’s 800m.
I was there today and the crowd was incredible. And they put together a heat of non-Diamond League 800 locals who could smoke the American men.

And the men's and women's 1500. And we'd have a good shot in the women's 800 as well. Across all the mid-d events the UK has greater top-end depth
How many medals do the Brits have recently in the men’s 800m?
When is the last time a Brit won a men’s 800 world championship? When is the last time a Brit won a women’s 800 world championship? Who won the men’s 1500 today in London?
Women’s 800?
Also women’s 1500.
Keira Knightly?
W1500m yes.
W800m no.

Never heard of Athing Mu? Undefeated against the great British hope (who bailed last second today)
Rock bands
Mu is great but she never races in the Diamond League so very hard to say who’s in the best form this year. Keely has the world lead. Hard to say what shape Athing is over the 800m due to lack of racing on the international circuit.
Should be interesting in Budapest. But yes if we’re looking at stats from a few years ago then Athing just pipped her to the post. This year who knows..
Anyway - women’s 1500m?

As many as the US. Unless you want to go back to 2019 and your guy who has been injured for the past 3 years.

You mean a mere 3 global championships ago? Soooo far back.

Again, where's that guy now? Your top guy this year (Hoppel) just lost to our 2nd fastest guy (Rowden).
You can always count on Americans to indulge in puerile flag waving and chanting.
The rest of the world thinks you are simple minded pedants.

And again, I don’t see the recent medals from British 800m men exceeding the US medals.
history and beer

Range Rovers too.
You coul also throw in Bentley anda Rolls Royce.
WHen it comes to cars, the Europeans arw serious.
ON a "seriouser" note, 8 had underrated Jemma Reekie. I thought Goule or Nakaayi would win.

While they live under US security guarantees and have economies desperate for US trade.
