i mean seriously? i know patterson and faust aren’t exactly the a-team but the USA is the best overall nation in this event. it’s not unreasonable to expect someone on the podium at each championship. today both men are out in the heats.
It's funny- when my kids were in high school they used to say that when a kid says- "everyone drinks" or "everyone takes drugs" or "everyone failed the test".
What it really means is your kid drinks, takes drugs and failed the test.
Just exactly who is "everyone"? You? Unbelievable.

Patterson ran as a fool ; didn´t see a competitor coming from behind to catch him on the line.
Faust just wasn´t better (far away from both a Q and a q).
Patterson is talented but inconsistent. I wonder how his work ethic is. His Outdoor 400m pr is still from Virginia Tech in 2021. I would've though he would be a 43 guy by now with his talent.
Faust seems like a strength runner as a 400m runner especially given his 200m pr. He doesn't have enough speed so he automatically assumes he'll lose the break and tries to come back the second. I think this time he misjudged it and struggled to pass. He might do well to try the 400mh or go up to the 800.
Having to switch lanes in a sprint is goofy, the banks make maintaining speed more annoying and the tactics involved make it more like an 800m. Outdoors is way superior, but it is a little interesting to see how people adapt for indoors, in a "hey that's a cool practice run" kinda way.

I think if Bassitt would’ve had a better USAs and made the cut for the open 400m he’d have been back in the finals like last year. He’s on the 4x4 so hopefully he proves me right and runs a good split, he’s a championship guy
