Genuinely fascinating insight into Kerr pulling out of Millrose. He clearly desperately wanted to compete. Definitely the best episode yet and really interesting to hear him and Mackie planning their race tactics before the illness:

Yeah, good video! They mentioned he had a hip injury that it seems was bad enough to be brought up in terms of a real risk to sideline him after. The race tactics part was interesting though they didn't have a good handle on Yared's plan which was to push after the rabbit dropped no matter what. Still a full-strength Kerr and his plan to make a move in the last 2 laps would've been tough to beat. History tells us he could've made the pass and we don't know if Yared could've come right back at him in the last 100.

I heard an (unsubstantiated) rumor that the real reason for Kerr being "sick" is that he was out the night before batting it up pretty hard with Ray Flynn, Marcus O'Sullivan, and Eamonn Coghlan, and woke up with a king-sized hangover.
Not a Josh Kerr fan but I'm very close with a Brooks NYC rep. The person told me that Josh Kerr has Norovirus the day of the race. This checks out with the fact that Norovirus has swept through NYC like a storm.
I don't believe Josh Kerr but I'd believe my friend.

Okay but my insider told me that Josh Kerr was healthy and just wanted to dodge competition and this checks out since he didn't line up to race. I don't believe you just like you shouldn't believe me (except mine is also plausible).

He has raced Millrose every year. Why would he dodge this year?

I was just posting anonymously on a message board for fun. But also, if anything from the video was real, the hip injury is believable and maybe he wasn't fit enough. Dodging is from a fear of losing or fear of living up to a certain hype. If my hip were jank, the last place I'd want to be is on the biggest stage in the world on a 200m indoor banked track with the expectation of world record shape.

He was hurt. They keep talking about his hip. The sickness also likely real. it was the right call not to race

If he was truly sick, why is he in a room with a Toddler? As a dad, I would never let my kid around someone with the flu / Novarius

That was before he was mentally broken by Hocker in the last 50 meters of the Olympics.
