With all due respect to Naser, I've read about a lot of athletes that thought they could have gone faster on a spectacular run or WR "if only"...

Max reports being THRILLED to work with Vin (again).

I think the rules of football will change (to placate the concussion concerned) before the numbers of participants gets too low.

There's too much money behind football to let it wither too much.

I'm with grasshopper on this one.


This is about FAVORITES, not "BESTS".

at least they didn't cancel the TJ and Steeple! oy!

Just think of the time Hassan would have run if she took it out straight from the start.

Now, give her a good pacer in a DL meet and she could WR

Somebody earlier today posted on my FB feed that Walsh had won with 22.90. I was pretty disappointed to find out that final result before getting home to watch on DVR.

So, I was DOUBLEY amazed at...

Because of those two mixed 4x4 rounds, I would have not been surprised if Naser had been off the podium.

Even with a silver or bronze, I would have always wondered if she would have placed higher...

Fantastic race!

Just run 5 athletes in the final, lanes 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.

There's only three medals; You don't HAVE to have 8 athletes competing for them.

OR, for hurdles, run one long non-rocking hurdle across...

Amazing competition! Finally a crowd worthy of a WC, even if it was just over by the HJ pit.

They even took off the covering of the upper seats to fit more people in.

Glad to see Kambundji medal.

Since they let 9 athletes run in the 110H, they should have let her run in the 100m final.

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT. so weird

yes, Ortega got a raw deal. looked like an easy 2nd to me. At least the Frenchman didnt get 4th again.

what a call by CookyMonsta for McLeod's screw up though!

As I read AFelixFan's post, it seems he mentions this not as a way of deciding the team, but extra justification (Besides times/talent) for NOT putting Felix on the team just because of her name.
...

Great race!!

I just wish the announcers wouldn't yell about a WR every chance they get.

Bolt's first 200 WC medal was silver, so Lyles is already one up on UB there. And we all know what Usain did the next year.

A lot can happen in a year (ten months).

Maybe now she can be the evidence for limits in the 200 also.

The commentators totally missed Chespol give up right as Chepkoech hit 2k, as Masback was rambling again.

Makes it hard to sweep when you drop out. :)

Naser's already had two hard 400's in the mixed 4x4, and got ran into.

That's gotta take something out of her in the 400 final, regardless of how good her heat/semis looked.

Yeah, I was really pulling for her at the very end there.

Hard for me to be happy for the winner after her pushing in the semi.

Too bad for Wilson. You never know when it's going to be your...

Yeah, it would have been nice to see as much of the throws as we did of the wHT.

But, I guess with no American going for a (gold) medal...

Bummer for Roberts. Hope he can learn from this and come back better.

I'm picking Ortega over McLeod

Great race! Don't care about the times!

Glad Warholm won as he's one of my favorite athletes!

Nailed it!
