The women's 400 was super fast but many people think we may have another Caster Semenya situation coming soon.
I understand what you are saying but how shoudl we at letsrun approach this issue. Do we mention what we are seeing or just ignore it until it officially is a story?
Any advice?
The Jakob and Filip doing some 350m reps after the meet ended.

100m Dash PR of every person who ran sub 19.60 in the 200m Dash:
09.58 (200m PR: 19.19) Usain Bolt
09.69 (200m PR: 19.26) Yohan Blake
09.69 (200m PR: 19.58) Tyson Gay
09.74 (200m PR: 19.57) Justin Gatlin
09.88 (200m PR: 19.53) Walter Dix
10.09 (200m PR: 19.32) Michael Johnson
And now:
09.86 (200m PR: 19.50) Noah Lyles
Everyone knows Johnson was capable of a legit 100m just based on ability, but he was a 400 guy with form that put his hammys at risk in the 100, so he never really got to play around with the distance even to see what dabbling in it would produce. The fact is, you don't run sub 19.6 without being able to fly over 100. Wallace Spearmon (he of 19.65 ability) even clocked a sub 10 (9.96 with NO wind).
I'm starting to believe that even if Lyles never really fixes his start, he's going to end up conquering the 100m Dash and usurp Coleman. You just don't run 19.50 without being inherently capable of a blazing 100m Dash. We've already seen a 9.86 out of him. He's probably capable of breaking 9.80 now, even with his crap start.
Insane year for US sprinters.
For a moment I thought Gebrhiwet was trying an El-G type pacing gambit, and so did Kejelcha apparently.
The prediction that the always fast closing, unprecedentedly fast closing Seyni would challenge the world record may not be a reality yet but we have now seen a two second drop and once again Seyni opened very slowly. I would agree that there may be another 46xy DSD to be reckoned with. We shall see.
Vazquez is Puerto Rican.
Filip retains the family bragging rights for yet another day, though he was boxed in quite a while down the stretch and still ran 3:30.82. If Jakob takes a bit more risk at Monaco, he will go well under 3:30. That was a fantastic race for Cheruiyot. He was out in 1:49.4, held on in a 57 to 2:46, and though he didn't have it to get the world record, closing in 42, he was still able to close his last 400 in 56 despite that insane 1:49.4. World record does not seem to be in reach, as that is 54.8/400m, or 1:49.6 for 800m, but a sub 3:27 is not out of the question and I predict he goes 3:27 at Monaco.
He's not running Monaco

We are seeing the resurgence of CLEAN sprinting in Coleman and lyles, unlike Gatlin and the Jamaicans.
This website has become a bitter, hateful place with the recent cyber bullying events which I know Rojo loves to stir up for just a few more clicks and a few more bucks. I'm sure this was not the original intent when LetsRun was created.

He must have thought he'd broken the WR too. I couldn't believe it when I saw him take off with over a lap to go. For a moment it looked like we were back in the full throttle EPO era.

Why can't U.S. guys run sub 3:30 regularly?
