2022 Zürich DL Final, Women's Events

[Diara31]

I read on twitter, that Shericka said she wants to go back to the 400m soon when she's fit enough to run all three because she still has an unfinished business with the event. She said, she believes she can run 48.3 👀. Suddenly the event is starting to pick up again with Shericka's plausible comeback, femke Bol's 49.44, Sydney's 47.91 relay split, Paulino 49.20, Sada willaims 49.75, Cofil 49.80 and Naser's comeback next year if she can manage to get back to form.

Where did you read that? And why does Allie Wilson pacemaking automatically make it a WR attempt?
1.Allie Wilson was pacemaker for Kipyegon in Monaco
2.Faith Kipyegon said after Monaco she will make one more attempt for WR this season

OMG - after a year with truly amazing World Champs, Comm Games & Euros - there can still be an unforgettable 'street meet' like this. WHAT an amazing entertaining event.

And some people say 'how can we get more fans for this sport?'

The answer is something like this.

PS - well done Nina!

First, the 5th Avenue Mile is a certified distance annual road race that attracts the best milers/1500 people every single year!
Second, this circus act is just utter stupidity/insanity, period!
Thirdly, NO, NOTHING counts from these races (except maybe DL points, which I don't give a flying fuck about!!)---no listed marks and no records of any kind!
Fourthly, if these abominations are akin to anything, try Kipchoge's two sub-2 marathon attempts!
Meaning, they could run 12:20 & 13:45, and yet you'd find it impossible to locate the results in any record book---as it must and should be!!

Somebody has a problem!!£

I'm not a particularly big fan of the street meet aspect of Zurich and especially the 5,000m races however I'm..um...slightly less emotional about the festivities than mr. k is.

I think the only runner who might be a fan is Sydney McLauglin as the track turns are very similar to what she trained on in high school : )

The guy who has run 3:31.58 and 3:31.25 INDOORS, that guy?

Hey, the announcers referenced it. Bogus or not, that "track" is all kinds of wavy and curvy. Let's hope there isn't a long term contract.

[Daniel Foster]

Happy for Kennedy's win. Sandi will be back.

Nina did well this year: 3rd at the WC, 1st at the CG and 1st at the DL Finals. She will get better.

Good point - I retract my criticism (since I've never clapped anyway, nor partook of that particular tomfoolery called, 'The Wave').

that is why I said some....

[Atticus]

Ealey after winning the shot:
<<Yeah the energy was amazing I like having the crowd right there its really cool and I like you know bringing on the claps and hearing them giving us the energy it’s really nice and I almost really forget that my foot is really hurting.>>
aside from being all in favor of making the athletes happy I'm thrilled at anything (including even —ugh! — the wave) that engages the general crowd.

Instead of worrying about the fans clapping in rhythm, some of these athletes should focus on the task that lies ahead of them. So many times, like just now in wPV, the athlete is focused on the crowd clapping and then comes up with their worst attempt of the day.

Bet they don't. Kejelcha's ankles didn't like that steep bank; heck, the track isn't even straight or level.

[Atticus]

Not if you don't want to pay for it or aren't American it isn't.

$5 a month, hell, I find that much in between my car seats every month!

[rhizobium]

peacock is much easier

Not if you don't want to pay for it or aren't American it isn't.

[Steele]

I like it . . . and so do the spectators. I bet even the runners like the 'difference' every now and then.
