Official 2014 Lausanne DL Discussion Thread

I taped the meet, so will be avoiding LR until I can watch the meet tonight.

My guess is Centro will go 3:30-3:31.

While you are waiting for Lausanne to start, you can read our Paris previews where American records could fall in the men's 5k, women's steeple and 1500.

Somehow I skimmed over this when I started a thread. You can certainly delete mine.

Hell of a 400 to start things off.

What a start! 43.74 for James. Merritt 2nd.

43.92 for Merritt.

Kirani James went out fast and stayed fast - 43.74 to win. Merritt in 2nd - 43.92 for his season's best

The BrosJo would never do something like that. What about the sport?

KIRANI JAMES 43.73 WHHHHHHAAAAATTTTTT

Diamond League twitter reports: "That's only the second time outside of a championships that 2 men have broken 44 in the same race and the fastest time anywhere since 2007!"

Very cool. If that was the 2nd time, then the 1st time must have been at Pre when they both ran 43.97?

The ladies have not gone with the pacer in the 3000m. They are starting to move now, about 1800m into the race.

3:05 - 3:01 for the first 2k. Yikes.

Damn, even Universal Sports takes commercials during the 3000.

No wonder @JoeBattaglia75 just tweeted:

"This is what is wrong with distance races in T&F. Inevitably, 3/4 conversation is about the pacemakers. Get them the eff out of there!"

And the first time that happened outside a championship was about a month ago - James over Merritt by a nipple at Pre.

Dibaba fanboys... Hello?

Nothing against her but you were so wrong.
