Donavan Brazier goes home devastated - Brazier is out of the world championships

Good lord all these stumbles and gaffes are an embarrassment.

There really is no excuse for stepping out the lane in an 800. Embarrassing level of preparation

I dont doubt the kid's athleticism but I dont think he is the world medal type. Could see him light the track on fire in time trials, however.

I'm sure in a couple of weeks the demented Brazier-is-god crowd will be back in full force with nauseating hyperbole preaching to the world of his impending takeover.

Preach on losers.

It would be one thing if he was pushed on interfered with, but this was just lack of focus. I hope he figures out how to deal with these types of high pressure race situations in the future.

Brazier does this over striding thing in some of his poorer races. Rather than fast and quick the stride pattern appears long and slow. He also hunches over instead of running tall. Doesn’t look fluid at all.

Donny will be back for the great outdoors...

You said that last year. You will say it the next. Keep it up. Keep the faith.

This upsets me so... Brazier has been lighting it up. Shame.

Who would have thought a month ago that Brazier and Murphy would not make the final but Windle would?

And look at this: in distance events, the groups represented in the final:

BTC-2

NOP-1 (non-U.S., Hassan)

Beasts-2

Guess I never realized how hard it was to stay in your lane or on the track. These guys making dumb mistakes should have a clause in their contracts that makes them lose out on pay or something. Chelimo and now Brazier....just a pathetic lack of focus...sad.

He's 20, they will likely say it every year until he actually does (which if you don't think he can you are a fool).

Yup, I haven't gotten used to Kejelcha being NOP yet...

so far the champs have been a let down with so many D Qs . why dq a whole heat (400) just rule out time qs from that heat . Banks seem extra step .

Or he'll be like Earl Jones and not get much faster. The difference being that Jones actually set the record and won a medal.
