Official 2025 Lausanne Diamond League Live Discussion (2-4 pm ET) - Keely, Fisher, Blanks, Hagos G, Hoey, Hoppel, Wiley & more

Is there a way to know how many losers are watching the flotrack feed at any given time? I get the sense that they won't earn back the money the paid to buy the rights on this, both because of their price-gouging and because of the ill-will that the track community harbors towards the company now.

Are we at the point that the M800 WR is on permanent watch until the end of the season.

I've got to assume everyone is starting to round into form, and it seems like Wanyonyi and Arop are showing up for every race, and neither seem interested in a slow race.

It doesn't seem like a forgone conclusion that the record will be broken, but I'm also feeling like in each race from here till world's, there's a chance they'll be pushing each other straight through the finish and might be able to breakthrough.

The 800m B race is on in a few minutes and the field is loaded with sub 1.45 guys. It will be interesting to see how they run in the conditions - could give an indication of what to expect later.

Update: 1.45.80 off a 50.3 first lap. Not great by todays standard - maybe they just got out too fast (hopefully!)

Who's got the bootleg stream like it's a 1:00 sunday NFL game Jags vs Colts???

Wanyonyi will run 1:40.77 to smash Rudisha's world record.

I think he will run 1:41.0. The small field is great.

Flotrack IG post lists pace light times including WR pace for 800 they say.

Rain has been on-and-off. Temp feels good though, for the 800/5000.

IMO it will be essentially rain-free for the meet.

Bring it!! 🏃‍♀️

Thanks Rainman.

watching this flotrack roundtable, or whatever they call it. these 3 have absolutely no chemistry. seemingly no passion for the sport. woof

Lol

It’s raining down toward Geneva right now…

As a sprint guy, cool rain SUCKS, which is why I’m so obsessive about the weather.

I hope I’m wrong but I suspect it won’t be an all-time-fast type performance in today’s weather.

Any free stream?

On the other hand, it's good (or at least not negative) for 5000.

Yeah the 5000 is long enough to build up some heat. It’s 64 right now, and cooling slowly. I think the temp might be great for both the 8 and the 5 👍

i would think warmer is better for the 800. you're certainly not gonna overheat in 1:4x. Any competitive 800 runners care to chime in?

SAVE YOURSELF FROM FLOTRACK

Weather is bad but I reckon Hodgkinson PB's here, Hunter Bell helping her with some of the hard work.

It is STAGGERING how superior the international commentary is next to the American Flotrack bozos.
