Official 2025 World Indoors Day 2 Discussion Thread (+live reaction show at 9:40 am ET)

I'll put this thread on homepage.

Women's 800 semis at 12:05 am (15 minutes from now), Men's 800 semis at 12:30am. Then 3000 final is Saturday morning the US. Women at 7:15 eastern, men 7:35

It was fun seeing Liang almost hold off Swoboda in heat 5 of the 60. Tied her PB, good to see the Chinese athletes showing up some.

Is Akins hurt? What was she doing?

No way this commentator is arguing that Maloney should be pushed through because she got clipped.

no bell for the final lap?

I've seen elementary school meets run better than this... what a joke

Bloodbath of an 800

She has been so bad this championship.

Tripped, lost a couple seconds, got back up and closed the gap on laps 2-3

Why was Tobias running in slowmo?

Hoey's upper body form just falls apart at the end of races but it doesn't seem to impede him whatsoever.

Hoey looked calm and composed again.

He looked so spastic at one point with those arms. I never thought anything of the doping claims but him hardly out of breath and the ugandan dude dying on the ground in comparison...

Hope he goes just under 1:43 in final. 1:42:95

To be fair, the Ugandan dude's PB I think was listed at 1:46. I would expect a 1:43 guy to look pretty easy dispatching a guy three seconds slower.

miller's giant package was bouncing around like crazy -- he needs a jockstrap

Akins seemed ti get tripped from behind before hitting the track, any chance she gets put through?

Unfortunately she didn't get advanced:

Start lists are up for the final and she's not on them:

What does the length of her hair have to do with how you move about your daily life?

Curious.
