David Oliver runs 12.93 and not one thread about it?

He is HUGE

Good run by him. I like Oliver, seems like a cool dude.

Wow that was dangerously close to both the WR and AR, is it a WL?

David Oliver is a he-man and has a great shot at the AR soon.

Well it doesn't matter, since he didn't break any record in the process. So we should be ashamed he ran so slow. This is the problem with our sport. Blah Blah Blah, Wahh Wahh Wahh etc. etc.

if he understood how to run out of the blocks and the first hurdle, he'd be setting the WR. btw, how about that hit to garbage man?

Considering he already had the WL before that, yes, it is a WL.

Because most of the clueless wonders who permeate this board are too busy complaining about the pace of the middle distance races in 100 degree weather.

We would only have gotten a thread on letsrun about this race had Barrett Nugent won (or maybe even finished in the top 2 or 3).

You mean the board likes the pale guys?

It didn't take long for the crowd that can't wipe their own asses without written instructions to say that Oliver doesn't know what he's doing.

Well done.

if you think Oliver is happy with the way he ran the first 20m and can't improve on it. You are delusional. Obviously he knows how to hurdle, but being the slowest one to the second hurdle probably hurts his performance.

Brooks Johnson is his coach and he still ran that fast! Miracle?

Ato Bolden called it...when Oliver ran 13.2 in semis even after a crummy start, and crashing through number one and had a slight headwind, he called Oliver for sub 13 later in the day...12.93 is mind blowing.

In all, there were a handful of really really good performances this year considering no WC or O Games at stake...a few world leaders and ARs...nice!

Malmo, wow, taking all to task that maybe had something to do AFTER the meet?

What a shock.I am laughing too hard.

Most tunred off the meet after the 1500, all the complainers that is.

It was a great run if not one of all time great performances.

Plus legal at least the wind way.

People are skeptical, cannot kill everyone for that.

There are a few thinsg that look different.

By the way your comment on Loxsom/Andrews? Well done.

Loxsom from your alma mater, will be a great one , already is good one.

Thanks for posting Malmo. He's a great story to those unfamiliar with his story. Denver native, pretty much unheralded for a few years out of high school.

That's the track performance of the year so far

Wonder if he will be racing Robles this year?

Is that the kid in the LSU uni? what's with that over the top arm action?

we should all root for Oliver because he wears a distance uniform, he is a big kid too. I don't think he is on steroids just big boned. A big guy like that who can jump has to have natural talent

Oliver ran cautious to the first hurdle in the finals after almost eating it in the semis on the first hurdle. He has had better starts than that. But thanks for your quick to judge assessment of one snippet in time that is meaningless.

I am sure Oliver is happy with the first 20m given the prior race that day. He will certainly improve and that is downright scary.
