Rutherford "flukes" becoming World, European, Commonwealth and Olympic champion.
Or is it, like Mo, he's just the best competitor on the day?

She could probably win the 400 by the looks of it.
That was the most transparently dodgy race I've seen since the London men's 1500. Maybe even the Beijing Olympic men's 1500.
God these championships have been horrible to watch.
Then don't watch it. I'm having a great time enjoying the performances and races

Tuka is about to bring some credibility to the session
Before this 800 starts ill go out on a limb and say Rudy will take it in 1:43 with a very fast first 400.

well, you just broke that branch and now you've fallen on your face
Rudisha watching some Mo Farah races before his final. What a great sprint from 250 out. Did he have another gear with 100 to go or was everyone else "slowing down more?"
What was he thinking?! Why not go battle Rudi from the front? Stayed back and was not a factor in the final 300.
wHAT a brilliant tactical race by rudisha. He took tuka out of his strategy of running an even split.
I timed Tuka's 200s from the stands. All unoffiical.
25.75
28.60
27.07
24.60
Imagine closing an 800 in 24.6 and only placing 3rd!!
Anyone get the FAT for 600? How fast did Rudisha close?
The 600 was 1:21.xx. So closed in a ~24
I was glad to see Jenny muscle out of a box aggressively, but she paid for it by losing her shoe.
No idea what happened to Rowbury.
24.36 for the last 200m
Well, that was a joyless 800 meter final. Rudisha reverts to form after sneaking off for some mysterious "speed workouts." Everyone looked miserable when it was over. A miserable race to watch. The dude so obviously got chemical help after his recent troubles.
For the love of all things holy, SOMEONE needs to set up some testing facilities in Kenya.
I actually feel dirty just watching that the last 40 minutes. So many dopers.
Sad that the U.S is getting crushed here. They mistimed their cycles this time around. I'm sure they will get the labs running well for Rio!
Holy F****ing Sh**. Employee 1.1 just broke 15:00 for 5000 for the 1st time at age 36.
