If you are going to talk shit like Lyles, you have to back it up. He’s two for two on being second. 

He’s two for two on advancing. Next race is the only one that matters. 

[G650 14243]

I'm kind of over his shit talking myself, but I need the US to win at least one of the 100s

[Braff Zacklin 13553]

Also, bear in mind that the 100m is not Lyles' best event. He didn't even start running it professionally until the past couple of years. Same for Bednarek. Both are 200m specialists.

I believe Noah has only lost twice in the 200m as a professional. That's almost unheard of. One of those, unfortunately, was in Tokyo 2020(21) when he was struggling mentally.

The persona he adopts, as annoying as it apparently is to some, seems to help him be his best. It's weird but it adds some extra spice to the events and I'm all for it.

For fans of form, pay attention to Letsile Tebogo of Botswana. Dude is as smooth as they come. 200m is his best event.

And of course, Kung Fu Kenny is easy to root for!

[G650 14243]

Oh shit, Jacobs is in this heat? I had no idea he was even running this 100 heat

I love Bednareks Stringer Bell vibe

Agreed. I really want him to win, but also somewhat annoyed by his comments. 
 

thankfully, he should nail the 200 irregardless of what happens in the 100.

Come on Fred

[Braff Zacklin 13553]

All of these semis are loaded. This last one is no exception. De Grasse, Hughes, Thompson, Omanyala, Kerley ... even Sani Brown is legit.

Anybody's guess as to who is going to win the 100 final in a couple of hours. It is truly there for the taking.

Come on Fred

Taylor's finest!

[G650 14243]

Fred is a fucking unit

[kingkoopa6 8347]

Thompson makin that look easy 

[G650 14243]

This final is going to be lit

[Braff Zacklin 13553]

Kerley got out strong but Thompson did not need many steps to catch him.

Best news is Bednarek (and all three Yanks) made it to the final!!

[UTexasFight 9429]

Kenny out?

Edited August 4 by UTexasFight
Nope. Nm

Final at 2:50 Central

Agreed. That's why I'm fucking sick of him. All this talk. All this show.  Just do it. 

Kerley just ran a faster 100m than Lyles ever has. 

 

[Braff Zacklin 13553]

Fuck, I am nervous for the final!

The sprints are not like the days of Bolt. Winning times aren't close to what he was throwing down. But the drama these days is off the charts.

Show me on the doll where Deion Sanders touched you.

 

 

(but yeah , I don’t like Lyles either)

[WBT 20561]

Damn, had to run a 9.93 to make the 100m final

It's not the fastest field ever since it's unlikely we're going to see any 9.6s, but it's definitely the deepest. Total fucking tossup who's going to win. Nod probably goes to the Jamaicans (Thompson or Seville) but they'll have to earn it.

[Nicole44 22059]

Look at Pheebs

[kingkoopa6 8347]

That’s bait 

[Braff Zacklin 13553]

High jumpers are human slinkies.

[perfectchaos007 6626]

I could watch Mahuchick jump over poles all day

[kingkoopa6 8347]

Whittaker is pullin a trailer. Got damn

Down to 2 in the women's high jump

[G650 14243]

This 800 heat looks a little more casual

[kingkoopa6 8347]

She a beast 

[WBT 20561]

Wow, Hodgkinson made it look easy.  Did Akins make it?

[Underdog 28581]

The pierced Brit runs smoothly. 

[Braff Zacklin 13553]

Shame Mu got bored with the event and lost the ganas. Hodgkinson stayed hungry and kept improving and is now faster than Mu ever was.

If I had a girl crush it would be her. It’s not just she is fucking super model gorgeous. She is a champion. A real Wonder Woman. I hope she wins gold. 

 

What's with the sleeping bag between jumps?

[Fudge Nuggets 19189]

Men’s 1500 between Kerr and the Noggie is going to be lit.  They fucking hate each other.

Too much smiling, Olyslagers….

Ah, I just think it came too easy for her, in a way. Maybe the recent disappointments will re-light that fire. And let's not kid ourselves--she would lose to Hodgkinson right now if she hadn't fallen at the Trials. She got waxed and finished fifth in an invitational a couple of weeks ago. She just hasn't been training/running enough.

Ingebrigtsen is another polarizing figure. He talks MAD shit ... but he mostly backs it up. I think it's a win-win for the sport but there are many who will hate you if you don't give the same, boring, insincere Bull Durham-inspired responses to interviews.

[G650 14243]

This Canadian guy Katzberg is like a pasty doppelganger of Donkey Doug fron the Good Place.

Hocker has an excellent kick. No idea how this one is going to shake out. And it's just a semi!

Maybe that’s her thing? Simone meets often with a therapist and other shit. Who cares? My point is: bring it. She is. Simone is. Who cares what you do. If you win it’s part of your stuff to get better. If you lose you are glory boating . Thats why I loved FloJo. She brought it. Bring it and no one cares. Don’t bring it you are just a glorified assclown
