Official 2019 World XC Live Discussion Thread

Talk about a buzz kill. How can I tell if Kelsey is moving up? Will they at least publish her splits afterwards?

Does anoyone know of a local timing site?

USA will will get wiped on these hill, expect a dismal result for them.

Current results are pretty dim right now through about halfway.

The US women are getting absolutely dusted early on including Freirichs :(

Running conservative for the team race. just like college teams at NCAA. lots are going to die on this course today.

Strong finish could be a key to getting Bronze.

Frerichs in 71st.

Chepkoech gone, odd...

It's going to be a bloodbath like we saw at Tokyo marathon, but they still are pretty far back.

In your dreams mate!

US scoring 4 after lap 1. 49, 50, 68, 74

US scoring 4 after lap 2. 42, 45, 54, 55.

Weldon told me he didn't think you could go out too slow. US is clearly trying to move up.

Marielle Hall leading the US women in... 42nd place and 1:06 back after 2 laps. Freirichs is in 71st place 1:23 back. So much for a team mdeal :(

I cannot find Kelsey Bruce. Maybe she just isn't officially listed?

Awesome, I missed Rojo's post! Kelsey is in the race, just not listed in the live results it sounds like.

Isn’t it embarrassing that the European 1500/5000 champion opted to race the U-20 instead of the senior race??

Surprising so early!

They seem to only be listing team competitors.

On another note, I think USA is running wisely

I'm getting pissed i can't find her splits. I think the entry fee was like $150. If i pay $150 for a road race, you can bet your ass I'm expecting to see my splits. Oh well. I'm not criticizing these people too much. But it sure would make this a LOT more intresting.

I wanted to see if she'd get a Team USA scalp.

As for Matt Crowe, I'm much more worried about him. He said when I was doing my interview with him something about getting in to a nice rhtym. I said, "I sure hope you aren't a rhythm runner as there will be no rhythm on that." He said, "Some have described me as rhythm runner."

So basically it would be like putting my brother on that course.

42, 51, 52, 53 through lap 3

IAAF should be embarrassed for continuing this "U20" farce. Just as the Lord has axed the 5/10k nonsense, this should be next.

Scrap any "junior" champs, ban the Italian coaches, come down HARD on the drug users and pushers.

Until then, the embarrassing results of today will simply repeat.

Salt.....bruh ?

Don't worry, Western civilisation is slowly being shown for the farce it is. It will disappear.

Not when he’s actually under 20, unlike some of his competitors

No idea what this is even supposed to mean. Did you have a problem when 23-year-old Bekele ran the Junior race?

Here are the lap 3 splits.

Team USA after 3 laps. 42, 51, 52, 53.

Jonathan told me that Kelsey is 1 minute behind Frerichs whcih would mean she's about 90th.
