Zurich Results

ouch to webb? he was one second behind first place you dick.

Xavier Carter runs 19.92........coming back!

And Webb? Isn't it further proof that he peaked to soon and didn't "just have a bad day(or week)" at the the WCs?

dude seriously, he got spanked...nothing in the last 200 whatsoever...

Lagat wins 7:38

Teg 7th 7:54

Lagat unstoppable at this time but I predict he won't end his season on high notes quite like world Chanmps or victory at Zurich. He has to lose to give his competition a little juice to keep them going.

he lost like all but two of his outdoor races leading up to Osaka, so I think there should be plenty of juices flowing!

The 1500 winner went only 3:38???

This wasn't a championship race, so what was the excuse for the gutless pace? Too hot? Too cold? Too rainy? What??

no rabbits of course. i think this style racing would be good for webb - more practice for the big races that count.

no pacemakers.

Imagine jetlag was probably a factor too--not easy on the body going fro Osaka to Zurich.

I'm definitely not surprised Baala won. He was probably the hungriest of anyone after a DQ...

3:38 and 7:38 FOR THE MEN, AND 4:06 FOR THE WOMEN. ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET EXCITED ABOUT THIS?

EARTH TO ZURICH, COME IN PLEASE.....

ANYBODY HOME????

BRING BACK THE RABBITS!!!!

What are you talking about? It's westbound travel....very easy. No jetlag. It's going the other direction that gets you jetlag.

Mayeroff, that's way over the head of these Letsrun World travelers.

Exactly. Couldn't agree more. Zurich used to be "the" meet of the year, every year. Now it's just another, ordinary meet: nothing special. And that's too bad.

Any major Timezone change can mess with your internal clock.

HEY MAYEROFF

3:38 and 7:38 sure do seem good to me..

atleast alot better then several DNF's in a marathon

They're "good," of course. The point is that Zurich has always been "fabulous," not merely "good." Every single top meet in the world is "good." Zurich used to be the best of the best. Now it's just another meet.

Yeah.......dick.

Honestly, how do these athletes compete a week after going through rounds at Worlds?

Doesn't seem like a great nor smart way to recover.
