Official Day 4 Worlds Discussion Thread - Men's Steeple Final, Women's 1500 final and more (7 pm ET instant reaction show)

Sha’carri’s win was fun, but as a middle distance fan I think today’s slate is worlds better than yesterday’s. W1500 has the potential to be historic and personally I’ve never been as excited for a steeplechase. Plus we’ll learn a lot from the 800 heats and all 3 Americans will have to show up if they want to advance.

Should be a fun night. Also women's discus and men's HJ finals.

Who you got in the steeple? I think Girma is going to do it.

W1500 Preview: Faith Kipyegon Will Win, But Who Medals Behind Her?

LetsRun.com

There is no bigger lock at Worlds than Faith Kipyegon in the 1500, but the battle for 2nd and 3rd should be fierce. Could an American medal for the first time since 2017?

Anyone with more knowledge of the scheduling understand why the men are given an extra day of rest between the semis and final of the 1500? Seems weird. Either have them all on the same days, or if you want the finals to be spread out on different days then stagger all the rounds similar to the 800 schedule.

I'm currently watching the medal ceremony and Sha'Carri is still insufferable and unlikable. Imagine getting snappy because a foreign announcer mispronounced your name. 🙄 Time and place ffs.

Kenny Rooks will shock the world by leaving the overconfident duo of Girma and Bakkali in the dust

Speaking of insufferable, what's up with the LRC homepage?

If she had a normal name this wouldn’t be an issue

The Faith Kiypegon show rollwed on tonight at the National Athletics Stadium as the greatest women’s 1500 runner in history won her third world title in dominant fashion, running 3:52.11 giving her the 2023 trifecta as she’d already earlier this year set world records in the 1500 (3:49.11) and mile (4:07.64).

The Netherlands’ Hassan, who defeated Kipyegoon at Worlds in 2019 when Kipyegon was coming back from maternity break, took the silver in 3:53.23, while Kenya’s Nelly Chipchirchir earned her first global medal at the age of 20 in 3:54.43.

Keni is looking great in the rounds!

Kendra Harrison runs 12.24 in the heats. Insane

Keni Harrison just ran 12.24 in the HEATS

The WR is going again this year in the women's 100mh

Please ignore. WA told us to embargo the recap until they show it on tv to everyone later.

All three US 100mh ladies to the semifinals without incident! Keni Harrison seems to forget she was just running the heats & drops a 12.21. Her PR of 12.20 is in danger...
