Where the hell has he pulled that from!?
Flat course?
He's beat Naguse though, so some performance.

Couldn't believe that when I saw it.

There's a bit of a rematch at the Zurich Diamond league meeting tomorrow evening. The first 4 from the men's 1500M at the Olympics are all due to race each other again over the same distance. So Kerr, Ingebrigtsen, Hocker and Nuguise. The 6th and 7th from the Olympics are also turning up. Should be a cracking race.

Not much talk of atheists in here.

Might be talking out of my arse but I don't think Hocker will get close to repeating that performance.

Common sense prevails. Might seem like I have an agenda against Sydney, I don't, I just think a world class athlete should be competing more.

However, allowing her to compete in the diamond league finals having not met the criteria would have been a pisstake to the athletes that have competed all season and might have actually led to a boycott. Not to mention the other world class athletes that would then do the same thing in future seasons.

Horrendous story.

Mu got a wildcard last season because it was in Eugene, beat Keely and took the money, absolutely disgraceful. Can't remember if SML got one as well?

Well said. Tbh, I’m pretty staggered she’s bothered flying back over to Europe at all …

Ingebrigtsen has already smashed him since, think only Kerr can beat him in a very fast race with pacemakers personally.

Yes, he certainly seemed to “peak well” didn’t he?
