Damn

Pretty good list! I’d imagine only Kenya could even compare.

I was surprised (but not disappointed) to see that the DL Final in Zurich did not use the Final-3- attempt procedure that had been in effect at the earlier DL meets this year in the throws and horizontal jumps.

Pretty good list! I’d imagine only Kenya could even compare.

Kenya's wild cards:

Emmanuel Korir (M 800m)
Timothy Cheruiyot (M 1500m)
Conseslus Kipruto (M 3K St)
Helen Obiri (W 5000m)
Beatrice Chepkoech (W 3K St)
Ruth Chepngetich (W Marathon)

I don't know how Kenya selects though (US gives precedent to World Champion over DL Champion), so Kenya could also add these DL winners to the team and only select 2 at their trials:

Norah Jeruto (W 3k St)
Benjamin Kigen (W 3k St)

Tapper is beautiful to watch hurdle. She's like a little wind-up machine. Perfect.

Also, seems that Kendell Williams will get the wild card in the Heptathlon for winning the 2021 Combined Events Challenge.

Allen really finished his season well.

Man , I know Coleman is the defending world champ, but he got himself suspended this year . Kerley worked hard to get it, stepped out of his comfort zone this year and was very consistent particularly in the 100. Kerley won the race and prize money but he and Bednarek did not get rewarded for their wins in the 100/200.

21.78 Mbomba. Another WJR. Great time that adds further to the controversy surrounding her. Next year will be interesting in Eugene.

March 2020 Mboma’s PR was 25.05 and now Mboma runs 21.78. I am watching the progression in utter “disbelief”.

[scottmitchell74]

Both 1500s were fun! Cheyriot's finishing arm-drive was great.

March 2020 Mboma’s PR was 25.05 and now Mboma runs 21.78. I am watching the progression in utter “disbelief”.

Literally unbelievable

Elaine Thompson: March 2014 PB of 23.73, August 2015 ran 21.66
SAFP: March 2007 PB of 11.49, August 2008 runs 10.78
Yohan Blake: March 2010 PB of 20.60, August 2011 runs 19.26

That 25.05 time from March was literally the first and only time she ran the 200m until May this year. She very well could have been running 23/22 last year if she was running it.

I still have a gut feeling Coleman will not be back next year to defend. Sucks for Bednarek though, I agree.
