August 9, 20241 yr been busy all day and just finished watching the evening recast of everything... sooo...the USA is pretty good at this track and field stuff lol. damn.
August 9, 20241 yr Gotta say, personality wise the US team is pretty damn cool. Yeah, some ego and assholiness, but for the most part nope.
August 9, 20241 yr Lyles is such a drama queen. Those after the race antics were completely manufactured. He obviously could have walked off the track, so stupid. Now he’s going around doing interviews with his black mask on so everyone can see him. Here’s a tip, if you are truly sick then stay the fuck in your room away from everyone.

August 9, 20241 yr 9 hours ago, Braff Zacklin said: Men's Triple Jump final. Salif Mane was the only American to advance from qualification, tying for third with Burkina Faso's Hugues Fabrice Zango. Cuban-born Spaniard Jordan Diaz and Portugal's Pedro Pichardo looked sharpest in qualifying. Guy I'm keeping my eye on in the triple jump is the young man from Jamaica, Jaydon Hibbert. He's the NCAA all-time record holder, world U-20 record holder (set when he was in high school). He was 5th in qualifying round, but his season's best has been up there with some of the favorites. Like I said, no expectations for him to win; but a slight outside shot at a medal.
August 9, 20241 yr Anti doping is so fucking broken https://www.wada-ama.org/en/news/wada-statement-reuters-story-exposing-usada-scheme-contravention-world-anti-doping-code

August 9, 20241 yr Morning events spoilers Spoiler Anna Hall fell from third to fifth in the women's heptathlon. She didn't jump particularly well and got passed up by a couple of competitors and gapped by the leaders. She should make up some ground in the final event--the 800m, as she's in a class of her own in this event. Still, 127 points to third is a lot of ground to cover. All three Americans advanced to the 100m Hurdles finals. Johnson and Stark won their semifinals and Russell finished second in hers behind "Puerto Rico's" Camacho-Quinn. Bryce Hoppel was the lone Team USA member to make it out of the 800m semifinals. He finished second to reigning world champ Emmanuel Wanyonyi of Kenya. Including 16-year-old Quincy Wilson in the 4x400m relay heat very nearly cost the US. Kid gave it his best but cranked out an opening lap of 47+, which left the US in seventh place. Norwood, Deadmon and Bailey bailed him out and covered enough ground to finish third. Expect a lot of that lineup to change over for the final. In the women's event, the US won their semifinal by 3 seconds. This already strong unit will get even stronger when Sydney joins the party. Fellow hurdler Shamier Little ran the fastest leg for the US.

August 9, 20241 yr I don't really appreciate that some of these teams appear to be trying to out smoke show the US. This aggression will not stand man!

August 9, 20241 yr If I found myself moving that fast and looked sideways, I would immediately eat shit or veer into another lane.
