Official 2016 Zürich DL Live Discussion Thread

lolol

two camera men got splashed at the water jump

Coburn now 4th and will probably catch the 3rd runner soon.

6:03, no WR, but Jebet leading with a 15 meter lead on Kiyeng, but if Kiyeng closes like she did in Eugene Jebet might loss, whoever finishes first gets the Diamond Race.

I spoke too soon. She's catching up.

Watched the W1500 ending several times. Rowbury wasn't as much of a thug in that finish as she has been in the past, but she definitely crept toward Muir. It wasn't flagrant, but I'm not sure how any of those women can be happy with Shannon after the race. Muir had to deal with contact at the finish. Simpson ate Rowbury's shoe if you watch closely. Rowbury really has Simpson to thank for that win. Rowbury was boxed in until Simpson went a little wide on the final turn.

Coburn has had a heck of a season!

Slow times in women's steeple. Looks like runners are tired after a long season.

9:07 Jebet, Kiyeng 9:10, Jebet has the WR, Olympic title, and Diamond Race, Incredible season.

Unreal season for Coburn! ESPN Body Issue, Olympic medal and placing in multiple Diamond League meets.

Rowbury pushed off Muir. There is no doubt about it. If you watch the video, you see Rowbury's right arm swing right, Muir suddenly decelerates and Rowbury suddenly accelerates across the line.

I watched the replay. Rowbury could have also gone wide as well as SImpson started to fade. Now given how tight the finish was, she might not have won but I don't think Rowbury should be thanking simpson for anything about the win. Rowbury was ahead of her the entire race.

Haven't seen the tape yet, but will do so.

However do take issue with your statement earlier in this thread that anyone who has said Row never leads Simpson needs to apologize. WTF in the past two years shadowing is exactly been Rowbury's tactic. But good for her if she lead the entire way. But if Simpson's swinging wide gave opportunity for Rowbury today, how does that indicate that Rowbury was leading at the time? (again will review the video later).

The end of this is really dicey.

Ohh man, watch the slowmo replay! Not only does Simpson lose to Rowbury and hit the track, she face plants into the bottom of Rowbury's shoe! That might have hurt.

Jenny hitting her face on a shoe was pretty priceless...

But the main reason for watching that replay is seeing Seyum walk by Kipyegon as she is on the track after the race.

My god....she should change her name to Dawit DAAAAYUMMM!!!!!

Seyaum is the one who tripped Jenny

41.36 by Jamaica great time. 43.30 for the USA, Felix has been involved in the 2015 world relays failed change over in the 4x200, the Rio heat mess up were she got saved, and now here and Zurich, wow, can she please get off the 4x100 for Women, here they just choose athletes they had so it made since, but in Rio she did not deserve to be on the relay at all.

Canada and Briton T&F TV are perfect. CBC has a single short commercial at the start (30-60 seconds) then uninterrupted, commerical-free, live. This is something you will never get in the USA.
