      • Veronica Campbell-Brown, a veteran, completely runs out of her lane and finishes the last 100m in the incorrect lane.

        Wtf.

        Late again.
        On behalf of LetsRun.com, let me apologize. I'm sorry that we didn't get the Official day 4 thread up when the 200 prelims started.

        It happened because our staff stayed up until 3:30 am writing recaps of the races for you - that we give to you free of charge. I'll notify everyone from now on to stop the extensive onsite coverage.

        FYI, you are allowed to start threads yourself.

        In the 200, the drama only occurred after I started this thread. VCB is out of the 200!!

      • Did you see Campbell-Brown slide from lane 6 to 7? That may have cost her the 0.03 she needed.

        She'd be out even if her time was fast enough.

      • Here's an idea, rojo. Instead of getting all pissy, why not start the thread after you finish your late night "recap"?

        They didn't teach me that in the Ivy League. Book smarts only, not practical smarts or spelling.

        STeeple first heat is going very slow. It's a hot day.

        Heat 1
        D’Hoedt had 5 meters on the pack in 2:48.22 as Hillary Bor was in 5th. Just before 2k, Uganda’s Benjamin Kiplagat has injected some pace (5:42.82) with Bor in third.

        Remember, it's just top 3 and next 6 and this heat is slow as hell.
