Heats for the 4x400 mixed relay starting up

  • Author

Damn we are flying in 4x4

holy shit WR

Edited by Nicole44

USA with the WR to win their heat by about 30 meters.   

France and Belgium for 2nd and 3rd I think.  Belgium has been tough in the past in the men's 4x400 where 3 of the 4 runners were brothers.

We were in a different zip code in that heat. 
 

Ryan Crowser should be up in a bit…

Wow, there's a 45 year old Frenchwoman throwing discus in her 7th Olympics

Netherlands in the 2nd heat of the mixed 4x400 but my girl Femke Bol is sitting this one out

It's just hard to believe 4 humans just ran a mile in 3 minutes.  

GB, Netherlands, Italy take top 3

Maybe you can, and I know you jest, but there is a good percentage of people that couldn't do that.  It's amazing.  

Women's 800 heats up next.  Mmm, Keely Hodgkinson

The track and field multi-view on Peacock is great

Is that in the mobile app? Guessing no because of the screen size?

Not seeing it on my iPhone.

I'm watching the T&F international feed on Peacock.  So much better than the American tv broadcast.  It also has John Anderson who I think is a great announcer for track.

I know I’ve mentioned this before but my mom’s across the street neighbor and friend for the past decade is Tonja Buford-Bailey and she is coaching Gabby at this Olympics and a few others. She is an amazing friend and person and it’s cool my mom is friends with an Olympian. Tonja and her hubby Victor (former NFL WR) are always helping my mom with stuff bc my mom is 76 and a widow. 
 

That's my humble brag for the day. 

The 17 year old Brit Phoebe Gill takes 3rd in her heat to advance.

Nonsense. You've got at least one more Olympic humble brag left in ya. Hint: Sydney 2000.

Hodgkinson wins her heat.  Too bad Mu had the aggy moment at trials and there won't be the rematch from Tokyo.

We bitch a lot about sports coverage but Peacock’s has done a great job. . Watching the Olympics in the streaming world is the only way to go.

400 and 800 are fucking murder. Just watching them makes me feel like dying.

Is that the one that's just called "Main" or whatever? I don't see one that says International

He's alright. I prefer the Diffey, Boldon and Richards-Ross trio that NBC usually trots out. Diffey is decent at play by play, Ato and Sanya have a nice rapport, and Sanya is a Texas-Ex who is very easy on the eyes. Only knock is they're out of their depth beyond the 400m.

Yeah, that's probably it.  It's put out by the Olympics for distribution to any country that wants it.  Most of the events on Peacock are from this unless it specifically says it's a NBC, USA, E!, etc feed.

10,000M race....probably going to bet on the Kenyan winning it. 

Loaded field for the men's 10K: Barega, Cheptegui, Kiplimo, Barega ... even Grant Fisher of the U.S. is top 10 on time.

if you miss the start, no worries--it'll still be going more than 25 minutes later.

Ugandan (Cheptegei) or Ethiopian (Barega) are the odds-on favorites.

But if they run a tactical race, they might FAFO and give Grant Fisher a chance to win. He's got a devastating kick.

Looks like the Ethiopians are trying to burn out the field. All three are in front and are cranking out 65-second laps.

The 10,000M always makes me think back to a good Tommy Davidson bit about the person who comes in last in that race and how much they lamented all they had to give up for 4 years just to come in dead last.

Ekwensu Ocha!

13:23 for the first 5K. These guys are going to be 7 minutes+ faster for 10K than the fastest I've ever drug my ass through 5K.

Pace slowing down here on lap 21, but don't expect that to keep up.

Wow. The Ethiopian almost came up and won the whole thing. 

Wow, best Olympic 10K ever. All the top finishers would've broken the Olympic record.

Brilliant run from Fisher. He got caught in traffic a bit on the final backstretch, else I think he nabs silver. But still a brilliant run from Grant. He stayed on the rail, never led, and just hung near the front.
