Paris 2024 Olympics Thread - 11th August (pg 430)

[MCFC1993]

Going to be some final.

I think Ingebrigtsen has to try and run the legs off of Kerr, hopefully Kerr is ready for anything.

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

Kerr comes across as a bloke that could be easy to dislike. I'm not sure, to be honest. It's a fine line between cockiness/arrogance, and supreme confidence in your own ability.

Didn’t do Noah Lyles any harm the other night!

Didn’t do Noah Lyles any harm the other night!

Very true.

 

[Gaz76]

Are the Kenyans tucking kerr?

 

[SebastianBlue]

Are the Kenyans tucking kerr?

Yep.

 

[jimharri]

The Norwegian fella putting a marker down early.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Ingebrigtsen has completely thrown off everyone else with the insane pace.

 

[bluesmith]

Wow.

 

[yankblue]

Well that was unexpected

 

[BringBackSwales]

Well well

 

[Gaz76]

Oops forgot there were others in the race

 

[MCFC1993]

Wow, American nicked it.

Kerr was brilliant.

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

Wow what a race. Didn’t see them pesky Yanks creeping up

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Half glad that neither won that. They both seem like dicks to me.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Ingebrigtsen has completely thrown off everyone else with the insane pace.

And himself at the end!

 

[SebastianBlue]

Congrats Hocker, insane race and an OR.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Silver or bronze?

 

[jimharri]

Damn, I thought he had it 150m out.

 

[stan bowles]

Reminded me of Dave Wottle in 1972. Hocker came from nowhere.

 

[MCFC1993]

Kerr broke the national record and got silver, can't really fault him.
