Official 2019 Brussels DL Discussion Thread - Bye, bye to the 5k, Ajee goes for the 800 title, and much more

Hassan is the best 800-10000 runner in the world. She's like Webb at his peak, except arguably better. Then again, she didn't have to deal with desperate Appalachian poverty.

You could extend her range to the 1/2 marathon, no?

How will Charlie do in Doha?

Don't be mean.

Who is in charge of these meets? Why in the hell are we ending with a non-DL 400 hurdles?

I don't get it.

Coached by JS Hassan had broken the world record at 5000m!

I want to see her run the World half champs next year. Especially if she's planning on doing the 5k/10k double in Tokyo (Farah did this in 2016).

Official El Guerrouj WR Splits:

54.3, 1:50.7, 2:18.8 (1000), 2:32.5 (1100); the last 400 was 53.5. That, I believe, is FAST.

54.3-56.4-41.8-53.5

800-1100 was in 41.8, which is 55.7 pace.

In following races, he was often faster at 1100m than during his WR, but he never broke it again.

So if 54.3 is perfect for a 3:26 flat, a 53.7 for a race scheduled to be run in 3:30 on a wet track is too fast. El Guerrouj slowed down during lap 2+3 but only marginally.

Why even run the women's 800? We all know what's going to happen. Wilson to the front. Wilson FTW. Boring.

They put in an invitation event while rigging for the prize seremony.

You could write a very simple program to calculate the guaranteed winner of a women's 800m race.

IF (Caster Semenya in Race = TRUE)

THEN Caster Semenya Wins

ELSE

Ajee Wilson Wins.

Is it just not possible for you to post without lying?

He is incapable of refraining from lying. He is a laughingstock with no credibility and no morals.

As another lie points out.. That's a lie.

Birgen 3:31:45 in Paris 2 weeks ago.

I thought Birgen ran 3:31.45 at the Paris DL on Aug 24th?

Actual 1500 pacesetter splits 53 high, 1:51 mid, 2:21. Goal splits were a fantasy.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen is a terrible racer, leaves himself too much work to do at the end. Sign of laziness/fear. Could have beat Tim more than once this year.

Hassan and especially Konztanze are straight-up anorexic. Normal human bodies in that state shut themselves down and refuse to even run a sub-20 5000. NOP chemical-metabolic manipulation must be outed.

Kenya devastated in steeple. End of an era? Wale should be DQ for blatant obstruction though. El B had him dead to rights.

And you're not a laughing stock Observski when you reply to your anonymous post within 3 minutes? Do you honestly not think it's obvious?

O.K., I forgot about Birgen (3:31.45 - and he's 31 years old) but that's a mistake not a lie.

Or Jakob doesn't have Tim's speed so he just can't open that hard, rather run himself into the race.

Yeah, anorexic because you say so. Dimwit.

You're actually correct about the steeple statement. First time Kenya hasn't won the Diamond Leauge in steeples. In fact they haven't won a single diamond league event this year. (Obviously first time too),

So yeah, end of an era and that's good because same old same old gets boring.

I am not:

1) Russian

2) "casual observer"

nor

3) "another lie"

More lies. More Coevett embarrassment. No credibility.
