1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:07,160 Komawa and welcome to Sidious Mag live from Tokyo. 2 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:13,160 It is day four of the 2025 World Athletics Championships. 3 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,680 Chris Chavez and Eric Jenkins here. 4 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,880 What's that? It's Day 4. 5 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,160 Yeah, what's what was Komawa. Komawa means good evening. 6 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:23,760 Oh, good evening. Oh nice. 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,440 Yeah, I I don't know how to say good morning, but the only 8 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,720 reason I know that is because the show terrace house like when 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,040 the the one I was. Yeah, Terrace House. 10 00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:38,120 Back on Terrace House. When the commentators on that 11 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:42,040 open the show, they they say komawa and they like bow and 12 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,880 yeah, I know. So then like that's how every 13 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,640 episode opens And so I I figured I'd bring it to the poster 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,560 shows. I like it. 15 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,720 We'll start doing it. Yeah, you forgot the bow. 16 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,040 But I guess it's disrespect to me but. 17 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,240 Sorry, Eric. OK, All right. 18 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,960 Another great day of action at the National Stadium. 19 00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:08,720 We had a nice full morning of interviews that you can listen 20 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,480 to on the CDs Mac podcast feed. We had Julia Pater Paternine 21 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,200 here in studio. We had Jess McClain, Susannah 22 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,520 Susannah Sullivan, Cushane Thompson. 23 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,040 Anderson managed to get a 15 minute interview with Cushane. 24 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,680 So we're really getting rocking and rolling with athletes, 25 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,560 athlete interviews after they're done competing. 26 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,920 Clayton Young slated to record with us tomorrow. 27 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:42,240 So yeah, I know a lot of none of this would be would be possible 28 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,280 without the support of ASICS. So Many thanks to ASICS for 29 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,160 being the presenting sponsor of all of CS Max coverage 30 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,840 throughout the World Championships. 31 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,360 Everything from the little things, you know, getting 10 32 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,240 people out here for us, you know, the resources that we're 33 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,720 able to do for graphics and all that kind of stuff. 34 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,880 The update on the CD smack schedule graphic, it's it's up 35 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,280 to 850,000 views. So I think by tomorrow night it 36 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,760 should hit 1 million views of and that's number of people 37 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,440 checking it constantly and stuff. 38 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,840 So yeah, no, we're excited. We have a group run in three 39 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,240 days. OK, three days, the 9th, the 40 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,680 19th, right? Yeah, yeah. 41 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,920 So you got out for a run this morning wearing your Mega Blast. 42 00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:31,600 I think it is that that you've got you got a pair of of those. 43 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,280 There they are. Yeah, we got me and Mac it out 44 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,640 for a run today. And I would like to say because 45 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,920 I've been who wouldn't say necessarily like talking a lot 46 00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:45,920 of shit, but I've just been we've been talking a lot about 47 00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:49,920 how the races are have been slower than than I would think 48 00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:51,440 they would be and super. Blast. 49 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,880 I'm sorry, Super. Blast. 50 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,480 Super Blast. Mega so me and Matt got out for 51 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,400 the run and immediately you're like This is why the times have 52 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,240 been slow. It is it's brutal out there and 53 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,600 it's like we've run in some, some hot conditions, but it is, 54 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,920 it's it's stifling, it's overwhelming. 55 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,520 So I'd, I would, I guess, apologize to everybody who I 56 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,760 said was saying they're running slow and your tactics are 57 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,640 horrible. It's yeah, it's hot. 58 00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:28,560 So I think, but me and Mac did also go at the worst time of the 59 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,840 day, you know, like 2 going to plan it worse. 60 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:43,680 But if, if it if the group run conditions are similar to today, 61 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,040 you have some dead bodies out there in, in the Yo Yogi Park. 62 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,400 So let's let's plan accordingly, yeah? 63 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,920 I mean, we kind of were thinking that this trend of the slow 64 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,280 tactical races would continue on even into some of the finals. 65 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,600 But I think today with the women's 1500, that was the first 66 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,680 indicator is like, OK, maybe this takes some getting used to 67 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,920 for people and. It also takes a faith. 68 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,320 Kippy a gun. Yes, that. 69 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,600 Too. It's the world record holder, 70 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:20,040 triple Olympic champion and now quadruple time world champion. 71 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:27,560 So it it this race kind of went according to plan, right where 72 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:32,520 everyone deferred to faith to set the tone and the pace up in 73 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,840 the front. Jess Hall attached herself to 74 00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:43,280 Faith, and even though it wasn't a 350 race, this is where things 75 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:47,200 got a little bit interesting is that once Faith did start to go 76 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:52,640 in the final lap, Jess was having the same symptoms, it 77 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,440 felt like of what happened in the Diamond League final where 78 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,760 she tied up in the final 100 meters and you could see it, you 79 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:06,840 know, with 12110 to go. Jess was starting to lose pace 80 00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:12,080 there and the whole entire time there as the race unfolded, it 81 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,640 looked to me like there was a little bit of like a Kenyan team 82 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,240 tactics that was that was taking place there where maybe the 83 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,240 instructions to a super young athlete like Dorcas Ewoi was 84 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,600 where it was just like, stick with either Faith or with Nelly 85 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,200 and we'll get you to the promised land. 86 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,840 That's what happened in the semi final. 87 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,320 And that's partly I think the reason why like Faith turned 88 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,520 around and was so happy to see that Dorcas had made it through. 89 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:43,080 And Dorcas has like the biggest breakthrough of her career. 4 90 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:51,080 second PB to finish second. And then from there it was Jess 91 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:57,480 Hall who tied up but held on just barely less than a second 92 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,120 away from Natalie Chipchurcher, potentially pipping her at the 93 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,560 finish line once again. But so your podium is Faith 94 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,640 keeping on Dorkaziwa and Jess Hall. 95 00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:12,040 The the IT it was chess's wheels falling off that kind of made it 96 00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:14,680 entertaining in the not entertaining, but dramatic in 97 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,240 the final 100 meters. I mean, I thought this was, it's 98 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:22,280 like, yes, this wasn't a this wasn't a 350 race, but I kind of 99 00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:26,160 think it was more entertaining than a 350 then then a 350 race. 100 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,440 It was it was a 352 race with a 207 mid ish 1st 800. 101 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,960 It's like this is the kind of squeeze that when we were 102 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,840 thinking about like an athlete like Jakob, like how does Jakob? 103 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,440 How would he have won a 1500? And besides, he's taken all out 104 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,520 1500? Like it's this type of effort, 105 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,120 this type of race tactic and strategy that would get someone 106 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,720 like that there. It's, and Jess, if you're 107 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,560 watching that, I'm watching that last 50 and I'm like, Oh my God, 108 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,360 is it was kind of, it'd be heartbreaking for her to have 109 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,640 missed out on a medal after the race she had because she was so 110 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,280 aggressive and really stuck her nose in there. 111 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,400 And not just there was a point where Jess was. 112 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,600 She covered every single move. All of them. 113 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,640 All of the moves and was right on faith Kip Jaegon for the 114 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,520 entire race up until about right around like 200 meters to go 115 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,240 face started to shake Jess and then yes, Jess's wheels started 116 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,120 to come off, but you got to apply. 117 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,600 I I loved watching watching her race. 118 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,160 I thought it was it was fantastic. 119 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:42,840 And it's because these races have been slow and this the 120 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:49,600 conditions are very bad and which just shows you how AA352 121 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,040 in the in this type of situation. 122 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,480 It's a it's super hard out there. 123 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,960 I'm sure I don't know what the athletes were saying like in the 124 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:03,160 in the mix zone afterwards, but I'm I'm sure that you know, 352 125 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,680 like that is is worth something a whole lot more. 126 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,680 Yeah, so the splits as I read them off like here's how it went 127 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,360 down 64 for for the first lap, then they hit the 800 and two O 128 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:19,200 7, three O 8 and then 352. Yeah, OK. 129 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,960 So they are through in three O 8. 130 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:27,080 Yeah, I mean. Face kick is is. 131 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,640 No one can match it right now in the 1500. 132 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,600 Yeah, Oh, oh, I mean face putting her, her making a name 133 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,280 for herself as being arguably one of the best, you know, track 134 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,600 and field distance runners. Hey, the argument that we had in 135 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,039 the morning show where it's like greatest track and field athlete 136 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:45,320 of of all time, throw faith in there. 137 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,040 Yeah, we'll bring it up tomorrow. 138 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:53,280 I'm sure Mitch will have some makes you have a hot take, but 139 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,840 I'll bring it to him and I'll see what he says. 140 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,640 I thought this, this was a race that lived up. 141 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,920 It lived up to the hype, Nikki. Finishing fifth. 142 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,120 Finishing fifth put themselves in the race as best they could. 143 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:16,880 It's just the the field is deep and faith is it would take a it 144 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,120 would take a fall or it would take something, it would take 145 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:24,200 maybe a DQ to to, to get faith out out of her element and to 146 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,440 prevent her from winning. She could have just went in 147 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,520 there and run 350 or under and and made it. 148 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,280 But she's she's clearly on a different level than the rest of 149 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,240 the athletes and is thinking, I'm sure about these next days 150 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,280 and the the 5K later her showdown with Beatrice Chabet 151 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,360 and it's like, how, OK, how do I get in there? 152 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,200 I'm not going to run all, I'm not going to run every. 153 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,720 I'm not going to go gun to tape hard, but I'm going to almost go 154 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,080 gun to tape hard and and save a little bit. 155 00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,280 I thought it was a super fun race and nothing more you could 156 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,960 do. What was also interesting was 157 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,160 because obviously, you know, I was watching Nikki pretty 158 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,960 closely just to, you know, hope that they were in contention for 159 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,440 for metal all throughout and that front pack of Faith, 160 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,560 Dorcas, Jess and Nelly. They were pretty tight up in the 161 00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:22,120 front. A little bit of a gap formed. 162 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,120 But even before that throw, any Hilu from Ethiopia kind of 163 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,080 sensed that it was was happening and went super wide out into to 164 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,920 what it looked like lane 3 almost to try and, you know, 165 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,080 cover the move and close the gap. 166 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,880 And Nikki did the right thing by just like attaching themselves 167 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,840 to Hilu to cover that move and got rewarded. 168 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:53,800 I mean, it would have taken so much to overtake 4th place even 169 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,160 in the last 200 meters of that race. 170 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:03,240 And so Nikki was 7th at the Paris Olympics last year. 171 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,920 So now 5th here big it it's it's an improvement and that's a 172 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,360 that's a good sign of of where things can go from here of the 173 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,480 1500 is in the world ultimate championships. 174 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:21,920 So this will do wonders for Nikki's world ranking if they 175 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,080 want to try and pursue that next year. 176 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,520 But what a season overall. I mean, from from the from 177 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,280 indoors to to now and it's still not even over. 178 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,760 Nikki's running Athos in in New York, another month of training 179 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:43,440 ahead. So yeah, All in all, strong run, 180 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,640 impressive. And it's so hard to be I I don't 181 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,000 think you could be upset with 5th when you see how the race 182 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,400 unfolded. And then at the same time 183 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,440 looking at the names and seeing like, oh, these, these are all 184 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,200 time talents. For sure. 185 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,400 Also I'm like thinking back on that race, there were a lot of 186 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:10,760 gaps and it wasn't like there was lots of pack running and 187 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,400 Nikki got out kicked. Nikki would have had to have 188 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,280 done and they were doing a lot of work. 189 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:23,720 And it's so tough to bridge gaps like that against competitors of 190 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:29,040 this quality. So I'm sure Nicki's a bit upset 191 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:35,160 because they're a competitor. And if you look at the field and 192 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,240 you look at how Nicki's looked throughout this year, you would 193 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,280 say this could be the year, right? 194 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,040 But the way that the race played out, it's it's it's just how it 195 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,560 goes sometimes. And yeah, I'm sure that Nicki's 196 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,680 just a little bit upset, but. It's progress. 197 00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:58,720 It's how it goes, yeah. It's just, it's just the name of 198 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,880 the game. Yeah, and it also like the 199 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,280 healthy mindset side of things is that even all throughout the 200 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:14,200 past, I would say month or so post USA and post, you know, 201 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,960 victory at the Diamond League, it was it was a lot of it is the 202 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,600 pundits and and the analysts like obviously throwing Nikki 203 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,600 into the metal conversation where even when I did the 204 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:30,240 podcast with them, like it was more I it's not trying to 205 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,840 prodder or pry for like the juicy quote of like, yeah, I'm 206 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,000 after a medal at the World Championships. 207 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,160 That goes without saying. But just trying to poke at in in 208 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,920 here just a little bit more of just how confident someone might 209 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,920 be. And Nikki doesn't give you that 210 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:52,000 when it's more about like kind of the Mike Smith's school of 211 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,920 thought, the Zen school of thought of like the out focusing 212 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,040 on the process and not the outcome. 213 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,560 For some reason I've attributed that to to Mike Smith. 214 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,720 Yeah, like he created stoicism in Zen. 215 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,280 But no, I mean, so it's like that's what you get that that's 216 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,520 what you get when you ask them about just sort of like goals 217 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,280 for the World Championships and all that kind of stuff. 218 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:21,600 But I'm sure back in, I think immediately after Paris, you 219 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,080 would have potentially have said like, OK, next year you'll be 220 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,480 fifth. You take that? 221 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,480 For sure. But and it's just the, it's not 222 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:34,920 like we were placing these unrealistic expectations on 223 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,920 Nikki. No, no, no. 224 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,160 The yeah, it's, it's a good thing because. 225 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,840 He's won a Diamond League, right? 226 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,320 Looking better than ever. Big improvements from last year 227 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,920 when they finished seven right? It wasn't out of the realm of 228 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,160 possibility. It's just that the 1500 is such 229 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,720 a stacked event. Mm hmm. 230 00:14:54,920 --> 00:15:00,000 And you are running against arguably the greatest of all 231 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,880 time. And when you're in that, it's 232 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:09,680 we've we've talked about it a lot where there is when you've 233 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:15,480 got athletes like Faith and Jess who are 352 or like, I mean face 234 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,720 sub 3:50 to Jess being 350, that's a gap. 235 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,200 And it's just tough to close that gap when you've Nikki is 236 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:31,120 355 5 seconds, 5 plus seconds in the 1500. 237 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,720 It's just a it's a big gap. And so Nikki, if they stay 238 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,080 consistent, keep putting themselves in the mix, racing 239 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,360 like this, eventually it these type of breakthroughs will come. 240 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,320 It's about staying consistent and and, and enjoying racing, 241 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,960 enjoying the process but. It's coming. 242 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,000 It's coming. Exactly. 243 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,200 It's coming. If we kind of, we'll get to a a 244 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:03,240 report card in a SEC. More, more report card. 245 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,000 Unlike every final, I'm like there's going to be a report 246 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,480 card. But the aside from faith big 247 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,120 breakthrough in this one is Dorcas Ewo and I kind of want to 248 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,720 mention it a little bit more because I think it deserves a 249 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,280 bit more attention. Not a household name. 250 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,640 Has not raced. Raced 1 Diamond League this year 251 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,920 finishing third in Rabat running 359 and then from there I think 252 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:35,880 paste paste the 5K at the Pre classic, was third at the Kenyan 253 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,720 championships. Trains with the Puma league 254 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:46,200 group and coach Alistair Craig. Last year I think there were 255 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,880 signs that Dorkas could put together a season like this and 256 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,880 think had a really good show. A couple really strong mile 257 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:59,880 races last year and then this time around flew under the radar 258 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,760 all throughout the season. Comes here and this is the 259 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,640 progression at the World Championships was four O 4 in 260 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,480 the first round, 4 flat in the 70s and then 354 today. 261 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:15,079 If you go back to 2024 at the start of that year, Dorcas's 262 00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:22,079 1500 meter PB was 411. Like it's it's been I think that 263 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:25,599 since joining Puma Elite is now down to 354. 264 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:31,320 Very impressive. Super impressive ran. 265 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,960 Yeah, it was. This was, this was a absolutely 266 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:39,360 fantastic race out of Dorcas. I guess was it was in the NCAA 267 00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:43,920 two years ago, now I see it. But Dorcas is 28, was 26 in the 268 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:51,480 NCA, really 5th place in the 800, was her best showing at the 269 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:57,120 2023 NCAA Championships, didn't didn't run the 1500 and now two 270 00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:00,520 years later is the World Championship silver medalist in 271 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,960 this event. She's she's 26. 272 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,760 In the bit of a Casey Clinger situation, huh? 273 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,600 Must have been, I guess like so just like, yeah, many times 274 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,840 these athletes coming from Kenya are typically older. 275 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,520 And then in addition to that, yeah, just COVID. 276 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,760 There's been a few situations where in this championship, I'm 277 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,800 thinking about the marathon, Julia, the marathoner, these and 278 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,600 even like Suzanna Sullivan, like these athletes who are in the 279 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,840 NCAA and they may not have had this, you know, stellar NCAA 280 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,400 championship, you know these titles, but they they stick in 281 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:49,200 it and years after graduating are shining on the on the world 282 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,480 stage. It's, it's a, it's a very cool, 283 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,160 very cool thing to see. Hey, you find your event in a 284 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,600 way like Dorkus I I mostly thought of as a 800m runner over 285 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,480 the last two years. And then this is the first year 286 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,920 I think where we start to just see those 1500 shafts. 287 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,560 So I mean there's no doubt that that background in the 800 has 288 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,080 propelled them to success on the 1500 meter stage like that. 289 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,120 That type of speed is is crucial to have. 290 00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:20,880 And now, now she's a, you know, bronze medalist. 291 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,440 Yeah. And then, yeah, Nelly, Chip 292 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,160 Tricher, this has been a big year for her. 293 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,640 All right. Yeah, I guess like it's 14 294 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,040 people we don't need. To do we can't give him a full 295 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,440 report card. Sinclair bad day. 296 00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:39,040 Yeah. I mean, third place, yeah. 297 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,600 Was up toward the front I think in that first lap and then 298 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,360 probably just got uncomfortable. It gets to you sometimes. 299 00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,600 It is tough. I mean, I'm looking at you 2nd 300 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,000 to last and four flat. It's just this and. 301 00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:54,600 That's this event. That's this event, right? 302 00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:02,760 And again, like Sinclair has had a great year, but I mean, God, 303 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,840 it's it is Sinclair is someone that, yes, should be finishing a 304 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:12,280 bit a bit higher, right, Like, and, and if you run this race 305 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,320 back about you run this race 10 times. 306 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,520 You're going to have maybe you don't have maybe the the top, 307 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,360 you know, two or three doesn't change all that much, but the 308 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,280 the the rest of the field is going to play out differently. 309 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,480 A lot of times I'm she's definitely going to be 310 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,280 disappointed, but for flat these conditions. 311 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,520 Yeah. I mean, it's, it's, it's not 312 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:41,720 like, so I mean, I, I, I. Just went back and I looked over 313 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,240 the last couple of years, like 4, 4 flat doesn't get anything 314 00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:48,960 higher than 8th at these championships now. 315 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,720 So, yeah, I mean, if if you're off even in the slightest and 316 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,400 those first two rounds, maybe you, you come into this race 317 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,320 with the expectation that, oh, but it's not going to be that 318 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,240 fast. And I'm hoping it's a little bit 319 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,680 tactical. There's so many ways you could 320 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,320 get thrown off. I wonder what? 321 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,280 The player didn't stop in the mix zone, so we don't know 322 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,440 actually. Well, not stopping in the mix 323 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,040 zone is usually a telltale sign of being pretty upset. 324 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:20,480 Yeah. But I mean, I wonder what these 325 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,600 acts like. Did they think this is how the 326 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,720 race would play out? Did they think that it's going 327 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:30,240 to be a bit of and and two O 7 is not a pedestrian 1st 800 328 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,040 right, but it isn't faith Kipyegon hitting the front from 329 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,840 the gun and pressing right away. So I just wonder what they 330 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,200 thought the race because everyone's looking to faith, 331 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,400 right, And so it's but I just wonder if they thought that it 332 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:51,000 would be honest from the gun, honestly, because this squeeze 333 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,320 is harder in my opinion. The squeeze running it like this 334 00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:00,040 with a slower 1st 800 and then winding it up to I mean, they 335 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,280 want it's just I think that's harder in my opinion, than just 336 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,720 a flat out 350 effort from the gun. 337 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,120 The the pace change in these conditions, it's brutal. 338 00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:15,240 So I just wonder what what their their thought process, what the 339 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,840 athletes thought was going to happen and if the race played 340 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,640 out the way that they imagined it'd be. 341 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,080 Back your thoughts on this one. I hope that this is working. 342 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,520 I think that it is. I don't want to say that that 343 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,880 went exactly how we thought it was going to go, but that was 344 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,960 certainly probably like the the best. 345 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,440 I don't know the highest odds of how that race would play out. 346 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:43,120 I, I, I think Faith didn't want to just run a 62 off the bat 347 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,040 because she is still thinking of that 5K. 348 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,000 And I do think that, yeah, like the way that she ran, I agree 349 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,440 with Eric. Like I think that that probably 350 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,920 actually is harder to run for the entire field. 351 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:03,160 I think it's a little different up up front if she were to run 352 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,320 350, like that's difficult for for people trying to go with 353 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,560 her, but it certainly drags the field along and that squeeze 354 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,880 sucks. I thought Nikki ran really well, 355 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:19,880 like committed to the move when they needed to with 4:50 to go, 356 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,000 400 to go. There was like the Oh shit, I 357 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,080 might not finish this race, but you have to commit. 358 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,920 You have to you have to bridge that gap, Nikki bridge that gap, 359 00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:29,680 but at the front end of that field like they were, they 360 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,640 started to squeezing and and faith was rolling at that point. 361 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,600 I loved watching Jess protector space there. 362 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:43,760 Dorcas was like trying to cut in on on Jess and Jess like just 363 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,560 flat out put her arm out was like, no, this is my faith like, 364 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,040 and that was that was pretty cool. 365 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,120 It was like, you know, Jess sent it for second places. 366 00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:55,560 Jess sent it to for to win gold and and you you have to commend 367 00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:00,040 that. I'm trying to think what and and 368 00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:06,520 like cool seeing Gabby Stafford like just. 369 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,000 Back at the stage. Back in I'm, I'm trying to think 370 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,600 like, you know, all the women that are kind of like back there 371 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,840 in, I don't know, 7th through 13th whatnot. 372 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,080 It's just. Kasmirska. 373 00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:21,600 That's a all dates NCAA 15 record. 374 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,040 Also, like incredible season from her right, just has been 375 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,520 going all year long, yeah. Think about how long this season 376 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,960 has been, especially for an NCAA athlete. 377 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,600 You got to think that like through the the prelims and semi 378 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,680 finals, I'm guessing for half of this field they were like 379 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,240 shocked at how hard running 4 flat in four O 2 was. 380 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,600 And for athletes that aren't that don't have 350 PBS, running 381 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,960 four O 2 against faith in a semi final is going to is going to do 382 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,680 some damage to you. So by the time you get to the 383 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,720 final, you're kind of you're kind of shocked. 384 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,360 We're we're seeing it from from everybody out here. 385 00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:59,880 They're running slow. This is by far the fastest. 386 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,840 Distance race so far Middle. Distance race that we've seen 387 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:08,480 and yeah, that's it. I mean there's, there's no you 388 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,160 think about like the when you step off the track and when 389 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,960 you're disappointed in yourself, it's not, it's you're never 390 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,440 disappointed in yourself when you actually go for it. 391 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,760 You, you're disappointed in yourself when you step off and 392 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,360 you think, man, I didn't make I wasn't brave enough, right? 393 00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:27,120 I, I didn't make this move and I didn't cover it because I 394 00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:31,000 thought that I wasn't, I just because I just what I just was 395 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,320 scared, right. When you're I'm thinking about 396 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:38,760 an athlete like Nikki and it's like, I, I tried and that's 397 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:44,360 genuinely, it sounds cheesy, but actually it, it's not because 398 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,360 look, I, I, I, I was in the right places at the right time 399 00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:50,840 and I just didn't have it on this day. 400 00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:54,120 But if you walk off knowing you at least did what you could 401 00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:57,200 have, it's a whole different feeling when you walk off and 402 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,760 you're like, man, like I didn't, I didn't. 403 00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:04,120 I wasn't in the right places and I kind of just ran a bit scared 404 00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:06,600 out there. Like those are when you are 405 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,200 regretful. It's not the other. 406 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,880 It's really not the other times. Yeah, Mac, now you're on camera. 407 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,200 Or not. Mac is wearing a robe. 408 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,760 I'm. Scared I don't know what your 409 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,920 camera frame looks like so. I'm yeah, turning it around. 410 00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:21,560 Yeah, yeah. Fair enough. 411 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,280 Max Comfy. Yeah, yeah, really quick. 412 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,120 Yeah. All right, all right you know 413 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:38,360 I'm just glad with this women's 1500 that like to this day, I 414 00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:42,560 still think that the worst 1500 at a world championship was the 415 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:47,840 2022 Oh, I thought I thought her feed stopped Mac nearly dropped 416 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,960 his laptop that's. The other one, we're good. 417 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,000 It was the 2022 World Championships 1 where it was 418 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,840 just Faith QPA gone, Laura Muir and I, I believe it was like, 419 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,400 I'm misremembering now, but it was just strung out from the 420 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,040 gun. It was good off the guy and the 421 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,960 medals were decided 400 meters in like today. 422 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,800 You mean like it was a bad race because it was just kind of 423 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,080 boring? Very boring yeah, yeah, I mean 424 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,440 from the gun it's like there there's top three massive gap. 425 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,720 I was like OK yeah. And and today there's with Faith 426 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,920 on the track, there's always the potential for that to happen. 427 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,520 And I'm glad that she let let it be a little closer for everyone 428 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:29,920 else. Yeah, I know. 429 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,200 I mean, I I love this race. I I kind of think these type of 430 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:38,280 races are the most exciting. I like and everybody's 431 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,880 different. Everybody's got their races. 432 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:45,680 A lot of people like to see the fast races from the gun, but I 433 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,880 kind of think that the, the faster is, I mean, this is still 434 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:56,240 very, very fast race, but I like to see some tactics being being 435 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,520 displayed a bit more. I, I mean, I mean, I'm someone 436 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,520 who doesn't even mind the sit and kick, you know, bunched up 437 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,960 at the, at the, at the bell lab. I think that's exciting. 438 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:12,200 But the, the squeeze, it's, I think it was, it's a pleasure to 439 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,800 watch and couldn't really have asked for anything more than 440 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:21,960 this than this 1500 meter final. So that was the women's 1500 441 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:26,120 meter Final 4 Pete for For Faith, who knows how many she'll 442 00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:28,280 end her career with. How old is faith? 443 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,400 Faith is 31. Yeah, 31. 444 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,160 So it's like she's got a year, I mean, with then with the way 445 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,440 she's looking, right, It's. Yeah, she's got a birthday 446 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,680 coming up, October 1st, I believe. 447 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,280 Well, happy early birthday, Faith Kipyegon. 448 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,400 There we go. All right, let's let's move on 449 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:57,360 to the other performance that I think was massive today, blown 450 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,680 up on social media right now. But the odd part is that it's 451 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,640 not a final. It's the women's 400 semi finals 452 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,080 particularly. It was like one of the middle 453 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:15,160 heats too blended up. Now it was heat 3, third and 454 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:20,520 final heat of this of the semis, Sydney McLaughlin, Loveroni just 455 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:27,520 absolutely sent it, but then hit the brakes too and ran 4829. 456 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,040 So she has no concerns whatsoever about how hot it is. 457 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,840 The sprinters love when it's nice and warm and I guess when 458 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,920 you step out onto that track today and you're Sydney, you're 459 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,840 like this, this will do. Like this is better than 460 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,640 anything that she's had so far this season and she goes out and 461 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,280 just blast it. But even in the final. 462 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,920 I mean, she didn't 10 meters, but the the craziness, she 463 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,840 didn't blast it right. Like she shut it down. 464 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,960 I couldn't she broke the American record by half, half of 465 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,160 a second home like and she she did shut it down. 466 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,960 That's why it was. I mean, are we gonna, are we 467 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,040 talking about a world record type of thing? 468 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:12,240 And and the the final. I think that that's the we're 469 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,160 we're officially on world, world record. 470 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,000 Watch. Right, Yeah, yeah, I think like 471 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000 yeah, we are on world record. Watch. 472 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,160 It's fun to at least hype. Maria Cox Koch and. 473 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,880 I hate saying that. Yeah, I mean. 474 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,640 Now we are no, no, we actually are this. 475 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:32,080 Is also just enough of a warning shot to really, I think, scare 476 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,480 the likes of Marlady Paulino and and Sally Nasser, where it's 477 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,120 like Sydney came into this as a little bit, not in an like a 478 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,840 total unknown, but a little bit of a wild card where it's like, 479 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,280 yes, we know she's super good and talented, but she doesn't 480 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,080 have the fast mark this year in particular, you know, relay 481 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,840 splits, splits don't count for anything. 482 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,400 And so it's like we're just basing this off of her 483 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,240 potential. And then today Sydney laid it 484 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,040 out and was like, here's what I got. 485 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,520 And that's not everything. And I just want to say, here we 486 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:08,360 go. All right, this is. 487 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,840 Nice room. I'm pretty comfy right now. 488 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,560 I think that her performance today is going to have crazy 489 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,680 implications on that final and how the other women run their 490 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,400 races. I think that she just that's a 491 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,360 shot call and like I've been talking over the last few weeks, 492 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,320 NASA, both NASAR and Paulino have such distinctive race 493 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,960 styles and, and they they run their own individual races so 494 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,120 consistently. NASAR going out like a bat out 495 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,720 of hell, Paulino generally saving herself for the final 496 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,520 hundred. I think it's really going to 497 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,200 affect how they run their own races. 498 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:50,400 And if he watched Nasser run, she runs the same way every 499 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,200 single time. But now that she knows that 500 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:59,120 Sydney has that in her legs this season, it's hard to not think 501 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,640 that Nasser's just going to blast that 1st 200. 502 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,360 And it's just going to be one of those things. 503 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,280 If it does, does Salah Nasser have it in her legs this time to 504 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,600 hold on, or is she going to fade and we're going to see Sydney 505 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,840 catcher? And I think if Paulino looked 506 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,400 any different than what she did today, it'd be like, oh, yeah, 507 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,280 Paulino. Obviously she will be a factor 508 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,120 in it. But she didn't look good today. 509 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,560 She walked across the finish. What happened with that, with 510 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,000 that last lap? So it it was like it, she might 511 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,040 have thought that the blue line no, no was the finish line. 512 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,800 She she, she's not like. A bit of a BU indoor situation, 513 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,160 wasn't sure about the finish line. 514 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:39,520 Huh. Someone. 515 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,320 Asked her. Has a tough time with Elaine 516 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,960 sometimes, but I don't, I don't, I don't think Paulino. 517 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,280 That wasn't the mistake. I think that she was. 518 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,000 I think she thought she had talked to automatically, like by 519 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,160 far and was like, all right, I'm going to walk across the line 520 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,760 and like jog across the line. But she she stopped. 521 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,880 She like actually stopped just before the line and was, was 522 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,240 damn near ended up third place. Yeah. 523 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,320 In her heat. That was crazy. 524 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:06,840 That was crazy. It was weird. 525 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,720 I mean, and especially with someone who's so experienced and 526 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,840 such a veteran like her, it did. It was one of those things that 527 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,800 was just odd. Odd. 528 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,800 Also, I would just say the one thing like if an athlete does 529 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,280 that and they mess up and they're like, man, that was 530 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:21,840 really stupid. But they weren't trying that 531 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,960 hard. Like they just like walk off or 532 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,800 jog off. And they, and she did like we 533 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,560 have a foot. I'll, I'll throw out the photo 534 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,000 in a second where she's kind of laughing at herself, but like 535 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,440 she went straight down to the ground and like. 536 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,880 Yeah, you're right. That's something they don't 537 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,440 necessarily show on broadcast. And I think it's something that 538 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,280 like if you're in the stadium, you can actually like see how 539 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,000 the athletes are reacting as they as they cross the finish 540 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,160 line. And I think that that's a huge 541 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,720 tell. That's the only thing I'm 542 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,400 looking at is like, what does someone look like? 543 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,760 I want to see. I want to see you run right out 544 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,400 of the tunnel. No stopping, no laying down on 545 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,800 the ground like. Yeah, it looked fine but but. 546 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,240 Yes, it looked great. She walked off, congratulated 547 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:57,960 everyone. She. 548 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,160 Even stopped in the mix then too. 549 00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:02,280 That that see, like it's little things like that. 550 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,000 I'm like, all right, she's breaking the the world record. 551 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,520 If she's stopping in the mix zone after a semi. 552 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,360 I love that. Yeah. 553 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,880 But also just like, I guess from a press and like USATF 554 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,360 standpoint, like you just broke the American record, like you're 555 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,040 going to speak to the press. I mean, not really. 556 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,840 Like, if you're her, they ain't telling her. 557 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,120 They ain't telling her. Yeah, she doesn't care about 558 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,199 like she's never been about speaking at. 559 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:30,040 Least for 130 seconds. Just issue a statement. 560 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,360 Well, it's like she's like, I could, I'll talk to them after. 561 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,639 Well, actually, she hates talking to the press. 562 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:41,199 Well, the the the thing was is that I guess she did promise and 563 00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:43,520 and she makes good on her promise because she after the 564 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,840 first round, she they came by said tomorrow after the second 565 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,199 round. So maybe this is all this whole 566 00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:49,159 thing is. Like, yeah, I will. 567 00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:53,760 And they go do promise. And she's like, yeah, sure, I 568 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:59,360 promise. Yeah, I mean, all all the heavy 569 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,760 hitters I think made it through here. 570 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:06,960 Not too, too many surprises. Natty B ended up getting that 571 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:12,280 win in the in the heat. In the first heat, Henry had, 572 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,040 Henry had Jaeger from Norway. She won the Diamond League in 573 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,880 Oslo earlier this year. That's a big sneaky threat to 574 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,640 eliminate in this round because she was almost the one who 575 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,440 almost hawked down Paulino. Today, she can sniff out a win 576 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:34,400 and so now she's gone. Then in the second one, Sally 577 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,160 Nasser, a measure to 4947, Isabel Whitaker doesn't make it 578 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,280 through. Lika Clover doesn't make it 579 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,680 through, I guess. So Isabel Whitaker is the one 580 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:49,680 omission from the final that I think kind of stings because 581 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,240 given how well she ran during the indoor season in this 582 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,200 outdoor season where she stacked a couple victories in the on the 583 00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,040 Diamond League circuit. So no, Isabel Whitaker kind of 584 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,080 kind of sucks Lika Clover. I think this is like no 585 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,320 back-to-back times that she hasn't made the final. 586 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,200 So she's got to figure I think a couple things out to get back to 587 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:15,000 to that level. It's just funny with that third 588 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,800 heat and Sydney running so fast. I screenshot just sort of like 589 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,440 the finish line shot or the moment on the broadcast where 590 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,200 she's crossing the finish line and she's so far ahead. 591 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,120 And you just have to remember, like, oh, by the way, the women 592 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,920 who are in second and third are running 49.3 and 49.4. 593 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,080 Yeah. It looked it, it was a little 594 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,280 weird in the stadium, right? Because it it looked, oh, that's 595 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,240 it. That's a shot right there. 596 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:49,200 That's that's my penis, Mac. But but it looks so easy that it 597 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,680 I don't think anyone really expected it to be so fast. 598 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,960 And it was so casual. There were even people around, 599 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,280 like, was that the American? American. 600 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,240 Yeah. Oh yeah. 601 00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:01,800 Like, and, and she also broke up by so much that like everyone in 602 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,520 there even know that like some of those people, a lot of people 603 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,600 in that stadium are the most knowledgeable in the, in the 604 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,000 world of, of the sport. And it's just like, there's no 605 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,680 way it looked that easy. It's it's just it's it goes to 606 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:20,480 speak about how talented Sydney is that that an American record, 607 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,000 right. And and an event like the 400 608 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,120 meters. They think about the history 609 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,880 that the that the American that Americans have with sprinting 610 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,400 the 400 and Sydney goes out there and smashes the American 611 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,760 record in the semis. That's that doesn't happen then. 612 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:42,400 And to do it like that, letting up over the line be and breaking 613 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:48,160 it by half a second, which in a 400 is, I mean, that's like 614 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,560 breaking the 1500 record by 10 seconds. 615 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,920 I don't know. Like it's just a it's a crazy 616 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,080 thing to do. And yeah, there was shock 617 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,600 throughout the the, the stadium. We were with somebody and said 618 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:03,160 that's the American record. And people were like, I don't 619 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,600 think it. I don't think they like, yeah, 620 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:09,360 that's that he's broke the that's smashed the American 621 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,920 record. As people were also trying to 622 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:17,800 get the World Athletics results page to work, which was also a 623 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,440 gosh for everyone in the stadium. 624 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,480 Yeah, would you say? Before we go on a rant about the 625 00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:25,520 World Athletics results page. Just one other thing about 626 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:31,280 Sydney is the time hasn't really come that easily this year for 627 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,080 her. Like she's tried a couple times 628 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,560 to run a fast time and it just hasn't clicked. 629 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:40,040 Like she she really like now we really know that she wanted more 630 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,240 at when she ran Prefontaine certainly right. 631 00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:44,800 And and like, you know, there were hints of like, OK, she 632 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,160 wouldn't be showing up unless she wanted to run that fast, 633 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,440 like or go after the American record. 634 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:56,720 And I think like I was, I don't, she was just clearly now looking 635 00:38:56,720 --> 00:38:59,400 back, she was really clearly trying to run pretty quick 636 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,240 earlier in the season or just wasn't clicking. 637 00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:05,440 And I don't know for her to to, you know, kind of put it all 638 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,520 together today. I, it's really cool. 639 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:14,840 I it's now I'm stuck in that because I hate talking about 640 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,880 records and because her whole goal I think is to is obviously 641 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,320 to win. Yeah, but she still goes into. 642 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,960 Now it's like, all right, I think that Sydney's a sorry, 643 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,720 like earmuffs. Sydney's a fucking dog. 644 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,160 She's looking to win and break the world record. 645 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,520 But she still goes into the final as the third fastest woman 646 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,960 in that field. Like we can't forget that. 647 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:44,400 Nasser is a 48.14 runner. Paulina's a 48 17 runner. 648 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,840 The World Athletics all time list page has already been 649 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,400 updated, so now Sydney is sitting at #7. 650 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:57,760 Do you think he'll do you think you think the the odds people 651 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,360 for DraftKings or FanDuel is going to have Sydney as an 652 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,720 underdog? No, I don't think so. 653 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,440 Yeah, it's like. It's. 654 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,440 It's going to it's this day set up for such a fun final. 655 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:19,360 Oh yeah, she broke Sonia Richards Ross's record 19 years 656 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,760 to the day. Which is the day. 657 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,480 It's a cool little element. I don't know what. 658 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:29,440 There's a meeting in Athens, Greece in 2006 this late in the 659 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,480 year as well. The world record, actually I'm 660 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,040 looking at it now, is that in October 6th, 1985 S for 661 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,720 reference, because we keep referencing that. 662 00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:43,240 The world record, it's 47.6. So you're still going to have 663 00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:46,760 anything to chop off quite a bit of time to get up there. 664 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:51,360 But it just we're thrown off by the casual nature in in which 665 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,240 Sydney had the brakes in this race. 666 00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:57,040 So yeah, that's what we have to look forward to. 667 00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:01,160 The final will be two days from now. 668 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:05,560 Are lanes out yet? Because that's. 669 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:10,920 Yes, lanes are out. Is is is saw saw outside of 670 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,280 Sydney has to be right? Lane one. 671 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,800 Lane 2, Nakisha Price. Lane 3, Henrietta Jagger. 672 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,200 Wait, how did she make it through? 673 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,040 I thought she didn't make it through. 674 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,800 Now this is this is the start list for the 400. 675 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:26,840 Meters like was there? Was there? 676 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,360 Were there time qualifiers? Yeah, they were. 677 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,440 Oh yeah, I didn't check the summary, so ignore everything I 678 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,080 said about eliminating Jagger as a threat. 679 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:39,680 She's in it. Sydney's in five and branding in 680 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,720 six. Nastrin 7. 681 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,680 Natalia Bukowika. Did they get to? 682 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,240 Do they get to choose Paulino? Paulino's in nine. 683 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,720 That's what happens when you. That's what happens. 684 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,880 That's that's going to be tough for her. 685 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,400 They don't get to they. They don't get to choose their 686 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,880 their. No, this is all based off of 687 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,600 like, I think there's a whole. But it's like but like so Sydney 688 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,880 had the fastest time of the semis and are and so are they 689 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,560 are people saying oh lane 5 is the best lane is the preferable 690 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:12,840 lane? I think so, yeah. 691 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,680 But what if Sydney were to be like, look, I'm AI like, you 692 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,680 know, I like lane 7, which they wouldn't do that. 693 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,280 They would just say, hey, look, here's. 694 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,720 This it would be fun. That'd be a fun element if if 695 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,880 there wasn't already so much happening at at this meet where 696 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,280 there's a live draft with the athletes in the call room. 697 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:33,960 Yeah, I don't know. That's what it's like. 698 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,920 This is, you know, technically the preferable lane, but I guess 699 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:42,040 it's preferable to who just. Sydney will bode well. 700 00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:44,280 Oh absolutely, she'll bode well, I'm just saying. 701 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,320 Yeah, I mean, think about it, Sydney has has her two biggest 702 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:48,880 competitors on the outside of her. 703 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,960 She can see, she's going to be able to see everything that 704 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,520 they're doing so. Wow, Paulino hitting the brakes 705 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,920 really does affect her here. So I mean we, we obviously can. 706 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,920 He's going to have to Van Niekerk that lane 9. 707 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,000 Oh yeah, yeah. I just say NASA's going to catch 708 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:11,640 Paulino by the 200 mark, and it's, yeah, it's going to be 709 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,400 fast. So a reminder to people, this 710 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,480 will take place on September 18th. 711 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:24,680 That's Thursday, but in America, I don't know. 712 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:29,520 It'll be 9:24 AM in America on on Thursday. 713 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,760 Set your timers. You don't want to miss that one 714 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:41,120 for sure. OK, we had let's go to the men's 715 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:45,120 800 meter first round and then we'll cruise through the rest. 716 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:54,560 Not First off 7 heats lot, lot of qualifiers for the 800. 717 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:59,120 It's we were talking, we were talking about, we were talking 718 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,160 about this in the next stands each. 719 00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:05,760 They are taking so long to get through heats. 720 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,800 They're holding them at the start line for like 5 plus 721 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:15,080 minutes it feels like because yeah, 7 heats of the 800 took 722 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,360 like an I felt like. So it went from 9:30. 723 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,400 Well, so that's 7:35 PM. And they didn't. 724 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,920 The next event on the track didn't take place until an hour 725 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,120 later. Yeah. 726 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:34,240 It's brutal in the stadium. It's just taking too long and 727 00:44:34,240 --> 00:44:39,320 it's like that, look, this is the Japanese have got everything 728 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,960 dialed besides that. And I'm just thinking, let's 729 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:48,280 let's put, let's put a, let's put a timer on on the in 730 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:53,360 between, put a pitch clock on it because yeah, it is. 731 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:54,960 They're, they're dragging it out. 732 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:59,120 I'm sure the athletes are, you know, when they're just standing 733 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,840 on the start line. Forever. 734 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,360 They're standing there forever, forever. 735 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,280 And they're not allowed to run out because I. 736 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,480 This is the other because the high jumpers the high. 737 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,120 Jumpers out there, and so the athletes can't even do their run 738 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:14,960 outs it and I was just looking at Bryce. 739 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,320 Bryce Hopple was just standing there before his race for five 740 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:22,120 straight minutes and just doing like, yeah, like they couldn't 741 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,360 sit down, they couldn't run. Everyone's yelling at them to 742 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,360 stay behind the line. So then they're just, they're 743 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:31,080 literally just standing there and nothing's happening. 744 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:37,480 No. So as we unpack the race results 745 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:43,120 of these heat 1. Not not nothing Crazy Sajadi 746 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:44,520 makes it 3 Sajadi. Looked fine. 747 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,360 He was, he was just dancing around. 748 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,200 He's he's all good. I feel for Handel Robot not 749 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,880 making it through. He had a really good one at AC 750 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,960 AC Championships and ran 142 and then he just doesn't have it on 751 00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,280 the day he was in the lead for a bit. 752 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,720 He 2. Mohammed had a two he with a 753 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:05,040 strong close sleeper pick for for a metal, although it's hard 754 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,080 to be a sleeper when you ran into that 1K was also very 755 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:12,000 impressive. But Marco Rope had a interesting 756 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,600 final like 50 where he had to like do a little maneuver and I 757 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,160 was like, what? What was that? 758 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,520 Yeah. It looked like he thought he was 759 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,920 fine and then he made an inside movie, committed to the inside, 760 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,880 and then it realized he wasn't necessarily fine and the guys 761 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,320 behind him were catching him. So then Samuel Chapel and then 762 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:32,960 he had to do a little like 2 step to the outside and he, 763 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,760 Marco, just Marco did not look good the last 50 meters. 764 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,160 But Marco, yeah, but Marco just hasn't looked good in a in a 765 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,720 little bit. I'm thinking like the the Marco 766 00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:46,160 of the early season Grand Slam looked fantastic. 767 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,200 Did he now, did he get a bit hurt? 768 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,000 Did he get he pick up some sort of injury along the way? 769 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:52,400 No. Has it been a lot? 770 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,520 It's been a long season. And this is, I guess, like the 771 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:56,960 what? But I mean, he almost didn't 772 00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,720 make it out of the opening round of the 800. 773 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,000 We have theorized and this is maybe like I. 774 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,240 I'm not being hard on the guy. It's like he, he, he's hasn't 775 00:47:07,240 --> 00:47:10,640 looked the same. This is a guy who you would say 776 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:16,400 is should be arguably like a favorite for to win 800 at 100% 777 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,720 and he didn't almost and he almost got knocked out the first 778 00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:21,440 round. Years prior, he takes the lead 779 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:26,120 and he just we gun to finish. Yeah, he he takes his thing. 780 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:31,160 Guys, his results were not that bad, like beyond Grand Slam, 781 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,040 like the that season got cut short and then like we didn't 782 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,440 get to see he was doing so well in the 15. 783 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,920 And that's what we were kind of enamoured by because he finally 784 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:43,280 kind of nailed it in in Philly and and had that last got the 785 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:48,560 last slam title. But then from there goes like 786 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,880 hits Monaco, that was the worst race of the season where he just 787 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:56,040 lets everyone go and then didn't have any anything to catch them. 788 00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,840 We chalk that up to like, oh, he's testing tactics and and 789 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,760 different approaches to these races. 790 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,680 So that's the excuse that we've kind of made for Marco Rope, 791 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,080 who's such a nice guy. Like we've we've kind of thrown 792 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,680 that out there. But then beyond that wins the 793 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,000 Canadian title. Easy. 794 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,600 Lazan 5th. OK, chalk that one up to being 795 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,280 in the crazy rain. Josh Hoey. 796 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,720 You're doing a lot of chalking, it seems like, Yeah. 797 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:24,960 Was he the only one in the rain? Go on. 798 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:31,840 Diamond League final third then in is what I mean and he ran 142 799 00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,360 in the London Diamond League, finished second. 800 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,320 That was the one that had a a a very strong field as well. 801 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,760 So the time is there. He's it's just the execution has 802 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:44,120 been slightly off. I, I, I don't see why so many 803 00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,800 people were sleeping on him. Not necessarily sleeping on him, 804 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,120 but kind of writing him off. Maybe today you have a little 805 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,920 bit more degree of concern. But you should have some concern 806 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,360 because he almost didn't make it out of the opening round of the 807 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,720 men's 800. And look, I just have more 808 00:48:59,720 --> 00:49:02,560 confidence in the guy. I'm saying that's I'm saying 809 00:49:02,720 --> 00:49:05,680 he's he's just looked off compared to the Marco of last 810 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,520 year. This is a guy who is run under 811 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:12,600 142 a bunch of times and I'm just saying he doesn't look as 812 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,440 good as he did in the beginning half of the year. 813 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,560 I don't even see how this is a argument. 814 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,160 You think he looks as good as he did in the beginning of Grand 815 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,120 Slam? I don't think that he looks. 816 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,640 I like Marco too, he's a fantastic guy. 817 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,760 I just don't think he looks as bad because everyone everyone 818 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,880 else look at Gabriel too all was ripping off 140 ones last year 819 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:34,920 and it hasn't been able to do that. 820 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,320 Gabriel too all looks like shit compared to the Gabriel too all 821 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,160 of last year. I'm saying Marco. 822 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,880 Aero, I think a lot of people look look bad, yes. 823 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,920 Of course, and I'll say they look bad too. 824 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,040 But that doesn't put them out of contention when everyone's 825 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:50,880 running running. Saying they're out of 826 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:55,280 contention, I'm saying he doesn't look as good as he. 827 00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:57,720 Has. I can't believe I have to yell 828 00:49:57,720 --> 00:50:02,520 at you right now. We're going to get thrown out of 829 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:08,280 this hotel room. I I I still think Marco could 830 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,160 win gold. I OK, let's whisper. 831 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,800 No, I, I, I if if he gets his act together and looks and 832 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:20,360 starts looking better, he could This is like he is a guy who has 833 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:25,240 the talent to be winning goals. I mean, he is a world champion. 834 00:50:25,240 --> 00:50:28,880 Yeah, he was. He battles when yo he battled 835 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:33,320 when yoni to the line and just barely came up short. 836 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,280 Yeah. So yes, he at his best. 837 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,880 He 100% should be in the conversation to win gold. 838 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,480 I'm just saying he hasn't looked like the guy who was in 839 00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,480 conversation to win gold in the last few months. 840 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:50,600 That's fine. Yeah, OK. 841 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,040 All right, HE32 all makes it through. 842 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,000 He finished third as well, and in his he. 843 00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,880 He looks like shit compared to two all who was. 844 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,400 Who? Who last year was ripping by 845 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,360 everybody over the last 100 meters? 846 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:12,040 Yeah, ran out of gas. The story in this one is Cooper 847 00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:16,040 Lukenhaus. Yeah, not making it through, not 848 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,440 really being in it. I mean, it's an experience. 849 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:22,200 I mean, he was the only guy that ran 900 meters in that race, so 850 00:51:22,240 --> 00:51:24,200 I mean a. Very odd approach to everybody 851 00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,400 else. Right, He did run in a bit of a 852 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,480 joke here. You know, he ran in like lane 2, 853 00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,360 lane 3 the entire time. He's got it. 854 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,880 Get in, get in, buddy. Break. 855 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:36,440 Break. Yeah. 856 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:42,680 I mean, you put his 16 year old out there on a big stage like 857 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,680 this, you keep him at the starting line for 5 minutes. 858 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,440 Like that's a lot of time to think. 859 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:54,280 And but you know what, if you watch the interview that we have 860 00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,320 up on our YouTube channel, we even put it up in its entirety 861 00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:02,040 on on Instagram, like he's just not making any excuses. 862 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:06,280 He was just like, I just didn't have the gear there at the end 863 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:16,120 to but the the race plan was stay in P2P3 at the the whole 864 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,200 entire time. Just stay in the spots that will 865 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,360 advance. He didn't think it like he 866 00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,640 wasn't going to do the sit and kick approach of going all the 867 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:28,920 way to the back and then, you know, trusting that he's got the 868 00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,080 best wheels of the whole bunch in the final 200. 869 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:33,600 He's just like, I just didn't have it today. 870 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:39,280 Like I kind of like that. It's just that he he said he's 871 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,360 the fittest he's ever been. All that kind of stuff. 872 00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:44,920 It's fine. And and like he'll be back on 873 00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:46,240 this stage. He's 16. 874 00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:49,400 It is it is just an aside. It's kind of funny like the this 875 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:54,760 is the fittest I've ever been. Like you're 16 day of your life 876 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,560 is kind of the fittest you've ever been at this point because 877 00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,800 you're you're you're maturing. But no, I mean, he's he's a 16 878 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:08,040 year old like in this to Eric's point that he made at the US 879 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,640 Championships is like, can we just stop talking about him 880 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:14,040 winning a medal and like, can we just celebrate this performance 881 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:18,120 that he just had and for the exact reasons of what happened 882 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,880 today. And I think, you know, more 883 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,080 times than not, the performance that he showed today is like 884 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,080 probably what happens in the situation that he's in. 885 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:29,320 Like he's, we can't realistically expect him to be 886 00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,320 running 142 every single time just because he did it once. 887 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,480 Yeah. And so, you know, he's had a 888 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:38,360 long season. This, you know, racing 2 all is 889 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,880 a little bit different than whoever he was racing at, like 890 00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:46,520 the Texas E County League meet, you know, in Heat 3. 891 00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,360 You know, it's just it's a little different. 892 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,480 And think of think of all the experience that he's gained this 893 00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,000 year. I'm excited to see what he does 894 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,080 over the next decade. Yeah. 895 00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:00,800 Yeah, I mean, I mean, if if it I'm just surprised. 896 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,480 The plan was First off, it's an experience, right? 897 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:08,480 Like he he looked like a six. He looked like a kind of a high 898 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,200 schooler running against the big guy. 899 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,760 He just wasn't sure what to do. Was never in a good spot. 900 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,200 And he could you watching him run, he knew he was in bad 901 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:19,760 spots, right? He's towards the back. 902 00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:27,400 He's like Max said in lane 2, at least at the at his rail was 903 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:33,440 lane 2 and then I think with like 300 ago he's trying to 904 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,600 swing out to lane three. He was just never in a good 905 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:40,360 spot. But yes, he is 16. 906 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,040 But look, he's a pro now and at some point we're gonna have to 907 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,120 stop saying, look, he's a 16 year old. 908 00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,760 It's like he just signs a mega contract. 909 00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:55,040 He's a pro and he can only write he's this is it next year. 910 00:54:55,240 --> 00:54:58,640 We're he's it's it. There's not people aren't going 911 00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,160 to be giving him the benefit of all. 912 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:05,120 He's he's a 16 year old like he's got it's done. 913 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,480 This is this is his last. This is his last time to be to 914 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:12,160 have the the freshman forgiveness and say, you know, 915 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,680 he he's just going to this is him getting used to to running 916 00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,040 on the international field because look, now you're a pro 917 00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:23,120 and you have run a world class time and everybody's going to 918 00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,400 start great judging you on that from now on. 919 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,960 Yeah, all right, big learning experience. 920 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:36,640 And now on to social studies class and cross country season 921 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:42,240 next week. All right, Heat 4 No, nothing 922 00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:47,200 major Bryce Hoppel makes it through Peter bull out I'd. 923 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,440 Say that's pretty major. Well, I mean, Bryce Hoppel, 924 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:55,120 Peter Bull, Yeah, but I mean Bryce Hobble, you know, Bryce 925 00:55:55,120 --> 00:56:00,840 Hobble just he he figures out he's I'm thinking about his what 926 00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,320 was his win streak at Kansas like 40 plus? 927 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:09,960 I mean, it's just an insane it's it's insane because he he's just 928 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:14,800 tactically sound and he gets it done today, makes it through. 929 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,200 So yeah, I mean and. He's, he's had kind of a he's. 930 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,720 Had an up and down that, yeah. Had an up and down year. 931 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:26,360 He's finished in like last in a couple of the Diamond Lakes this 932 00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:27,680 year where he's kind of packed it in. 933 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:29,000 Yeah. Not feeling too hot. 934 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:33,880 So I mean, I'm sure he wishes that he could have had a little 935 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,920 bit of a better like runway going into this mate. 936 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,680 But he's such a good racer at these championships that, you 937 00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,040 know, we saw today, like he went straight to the front front and 938 00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,200 was like, I'm going to control this because it's a it's a 939 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,400 prelim. And if this is like things where 940 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,400 it's like, why isn't Marco doing this? 941 00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,800 Like that's kind of like, I think where our, if we want to 942 00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:56,080 call it criticism of someone like Marco is, is like we're 943 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,520 watching Bryce go to the front, control the race because like 944 00:56:58,520 --> 00:56:59,840 that's the type of athlete that he is. 945 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,240 And that's how you safely get, that's how you safely get out of 946 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:04,440 out of the prelims. Yeah. 947 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,280 Like he's not, it's not like he's even really pushing the 948 00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,280 pace, right? Like he's not like he's just in 949 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:14,640 the front to be safe and and control the race a bit. 950 00:57:14,720 --> 00:57:17,640 He's just, he's very savvy, always figures out a way to get 951 00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,640 it done, especially in the championships, even when he's 952 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,680 not. Yeah, like we said how to he 953 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:26,600 hasn't had a great season, but he just knows what he needs to 954 00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,440 do to make it into finals. It's oh, it's super impressive. 955 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:33,000 Yeah, he hasn't looked as good as he as he did last year. 956 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:35,960 Yes, Chris, you're yes, Chris, you're right. 957 00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,280 But he's. Still a contender. 958 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:45,880 Yes, he he could. Be all right, just quickly 959 00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:49,720 peeking over at the YouTube chat, someone did say that the 960 00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,720 good thing that Cooper listened to Eric and he went pro when his 961 00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:56,440 stock was peaking. Yeah, imagine if he didn't sign. 962 00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:58,960 And he didn't listen. To you and he's and now and he 963 00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,440 and now he gets bounced and they're like, now they go and 964 00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,760 they're like, hey, we're open to going pro. 965 00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:09,880 Like yeah, I bet you are. We're also open to moving our 966 00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,360 whole family. At our places they're like fuck 967 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,400 I guess. We just put our house in the 968 00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:15,920 market. Now you're offering shoes. 969 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:17,520 They're like, why didn't you just go to the front? 970 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,080 Why didn't? Why were you in the back the 971 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:23,200 entire race, Uber? He ran A1K today. 972 00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:33,160 He ran a really fast 1K. All right, then heat 5, just as 973 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:37,600 like I think the Italian dude was going to try and sneak a win 974 00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,880 over when Yoni when Yoni just was like I I'm going to take it 975 00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,440 and final 100 powers through for the win. 976 00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:47,080 Mark English makes it through. Yeah, he looked really good. 977 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:52,320 Yeah, big ups to Mark English, and it's sort of like last three 978 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,120 years or so, just like this resurrection. 979 00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,280 He's his career back. Yeah. 980 00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:59,600 Is he the oldest? Is he the oldest guy in the 800? 981 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:01,800 How old is Mark English? Is he 34? 982 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,560 45, I don't know, yeah. OK, I'm 35, he must be the 983 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,080 oldest. I'm quickly peeking over. 984 00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,480 I'm sorry, Mark. Yeah, no, he's Mark. 985 00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:18,560 Where? Mark English was born in March 986 00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:25,000 18th, 1993, So he's 32. Kind of looks older. 987 00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:27,960 It's it's the early grade. Yeah, I know. 988 00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,360 But yeah, he's, he's had a yeah, serious revival. 989 00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,120 Just good to see when Yoni is going to be So, I mean, so hard 990 00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,960 to so hard to beat. He's just, he's looked 991 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:43,560 fantastic. But anything can happen fall. 992 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,560 But oh, oh, he's not. He's certainly not unbeatable. 993 00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,720 I'm just he is. He's going to be tough. 994 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:51,760 He's. Going to be very tough. 995 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:59,480 Heat 6 Max Bergen, Shapisa, Mesalella, Nevansky, Anderson. 996 00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:05,720 Pretty chalk there. I think if Bergen would be my 997 01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,840 like, dark horse for a medal, I think. 998 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:10,480 Who? OK, so. 999 01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,640 He just, he's looked good the last, the last like six weeks of 1000 01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:16,200 the season. Yeah, you took, I think there's 1001 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,640 six guys in total who can win this race and I think. 1002 01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:20,320 You think 6 guys can win this race? 1003 01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:25,440 Yeah, I'll name the win a SEC final heat Don. 1004 01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:29,120 Well, six guys can win. 1 is more likely than the others. 1005 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:37,640 Heat 7 Donovan Brazier Mullah the Algerian, sneaky Algerian 1006 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,520 and Marino blue deck. Never heard of that guy. 1007 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:47,360 Make it through with the top three auto qualifiers. 1008 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,200 Very, very good race by Donovan overall. 1009 01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,240 Just knew where to be, how to counter the moves. 1010 01:00:55,920 --> 01:01:00,240 And yeah, you can tell that you gave him an extra month of 1011 01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:01,720 training. He's going to be dangerous come 1012 01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,480 this final. Yeah, he he really did have like 1013 01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:09,360 a perfect technical race. I think he was hanging back in 1014 01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:13,440 like third or 4th, like, you know, even could have even been 1015 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:18,320 4th at at 400. And then just like Matt, I, I 1016 01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:22,600 was, I was watching with Mac and, and, and Don did another 1017 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:28,480 inside pass with about 200. You know, I think going right 1018 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:34,440 into like 2:50 to go, Don sneaks past somebody on the inside and 1019 01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,280 and but and. How's your heart? 1020 01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:44,600 Do it makes it I mean, Donovan's just like so when he's healthy, 1021 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:48,960 he's just always winning. It's only when he's really bad, 1022 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,240 when he's running on a completely shattered foot. 1023 01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:57,600 Dude, does he like have bad races, like he's for how long 1024 01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,880 he's been away and off the off the international circuit like 1025 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,920 this. And to come back to the World 1026 01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:08,920 Championships and did he he ran, did he run the fastest time of 1027 01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:10,680 the day? I think he I think he did run 1028 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:12,160 the fastest. He ran the fastest time of the 1029 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:15,600 day, got the win pretty real like relaxed. 1030 01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,240 There was never a doubt that he wasn't going to at least 1031 01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:20,800 qualify, you know, at least make it to the next round. 1032 01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,200 Then with 100 to go, you're like, well, he's he'll win this. 1033 01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:27,640 And yeah, he it, it, it's like he's just, this is what he was 1034 01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:29,920 made to do. That's what I I, I think when 1035 01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:34,400 they showed him, you know, lined up into the first minute of his 1036 01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,760 10 minutes on the trek before the race started. 1037 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:39,800 I took a screenshot and I tweeted it out. 1038 01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:43,000 And I said that, like, if you would have showed me this photo 1039 01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:49,680 in January, I would have thought this this was AI because, like, 1040 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,440 yeah, I mean, like, who would have thought that this, this 1041 01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:56,120 comeback would reach this level? He's headed to the semi finals 1042 01:02:56,160 --> 01:03:00,680 of the World Championship. Donovan is such a freak athlete. 1043 01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,080 And it's like there's there's like these guys are scattered 1044 01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,520 all around, like at these championships and all over the 1045 01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,240 world. But like Eric, Eric and I were 1046 01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:11,520 good at running and we were like, you know, think of us 1047 01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:15,400 compared to, I don't know, some D2 or D3 or even like high 1048 01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,960 school runners. And then like you think that 1049 01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:21,560 like, oh, I'm the shit. And then someone like Donovan 1050 01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:25,120 comes along and you're like, oh, I'm actually just like not good. 1051 01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,720 Like, like that is like you're watching someone like that run 1052 01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:32,320 and work out is like, Oh, that's something completely different 1053 01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:36,800 that I will never be able to do. And it's like at first it's a 1054 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:41,000 little tough to kind of like grasp, but like my God isn't the 1055 01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:45,560 most humbling, but like amazing thing to see because it it 1056 01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,680 really is kind of like special and like I I don't know, it's 1057 01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,280 it's really weird to watch And and we're talking about like his 1058 01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:54,280 comeback and it's like, but it's not surprising just to. 1059 01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,400 Like when you know how much talent is Captain Eric's A. 1060 01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:58,880 Former teammate, training partner of his. 1061 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:02,040 And it's just like he's one of the most frequently talented, 1062 01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:03,680 like human beings on Earth. It's. 1063 01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:08,280 Incredible how much he can do with how little he sometimes 1064 01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:10,360 does when it comes to like the training, right? 1065 01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:15,440 Like a high mileage guy like on top of that, like you wouldn't 1066 01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,920 even say that he's necessarily like the type of guy who's like 1067 01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:23,080 always looking for what the latest and newest thing is to 1068 01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,640 the implemented training and all that kind of stuff. 1069 01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:29,160 He's just like, tell them what to do and just go out there and 1070 01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:30,560 does it right? Like is that? 1071 01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:37,400 I mean, he's he's, he's genuinely just unbelievably 1072 01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,720 talented and, and besides the talent because like because. 1073 01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:44,000 He does work hard. Yeah, he works hard and but it's 1074 01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,560 everybody has talent on this all. 1075 01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,880 They don't have it like Donovan's got it, but it's also 1076 01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:54,280 it's just a true. It's a true knack for racing. 1077 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,600 Like he just understands how to win races. 1078 01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:02,160 He, he is a competitor. And you can't teach the just the 1079 01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:07,400 race instincts that Donovan has. You can train these guys all you 1080 01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:09,520 want. You can run, you can get a guy 1081 01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:13,480 who's got the, the, the physical build for an 800 and you give 1082 01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,920 him the workouts and you keep him healthy and you put him on 1083 01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,480 the line. And if he doesn't have the, the 1084 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,640 killer instinct that someone like Donovan has, Donovan's 1085 01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,720 going to beat him. And he he just, he knows how to 1086 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,240 win. That's the most important thing 1087 01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,440 that he's got. And there it's never been more 1088 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:36,120 evident than than US as I mean the, I mean, we only get back in 1089 01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:41,040 the US as but he, he's looking better than ever, like you 1090 01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:42,920 again. You give him another, you give 1091 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:47,680 him a month more to train you, you keep them healthy. 1092 01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:49,800 And yeah, like, yes, he's not a high mileage guy. 1093 01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,840 That's kind of like the the delicate balance of the 800, 1094 01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:54,880 right? It's like having the confidence 1095 01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:58,200 to not overtrain and and not push it. 1096 01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:06,480 So we'll hopefully the, you know, the semis go well, But 1097 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,800 man, it's everything. Everything's lining up. 1098 01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:14,280 These guys are so, so talented in the in the final. 1099 01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:15,520 It's going to be, it's going to be good. 1100 01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:21,400 Do you have semi final heats?

Yeah, I I mean generally, how 1112 01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:19,560 does this happen? I guess like if you think about 1113 01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:25,520 it, what if it it might go off of like people's places in their 1114 01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,360 heat. So like Marco was third when you 1115 01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,480 only won his was to Jodi second in his. 1116 01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:34,400 He must.

Yeah, someone noted in the 1124 01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,720 YouTube chat that that might be because of the universality 1125 01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:57,080 places. Remember those? 1126 01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:02,680 They do that in the 100, They do that in the 800 and then 1127 01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,600 marathon, I think. What is this? 1128 01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:06,360 Is it?

I mean, they're just tough. 1140 01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:45,399 We're going to see 142 and and I mean they might have to. 1141 01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:48,960 Do you think that's what it's going to take to get through? 1142 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:53,319 Well, there's some of these athletes are have run or got 1143 01:08:53,319 --> 01:08:58,080 into this next round with like 144 high seasons best. 1144 01:08:58,359 --> 01:09:03,279 So if you're one of these guys who's run 142, go do that Do. 1145 01:09:03,279 --> 01:09:05,800 You think you think that's you think that's the, the, the move 1146 01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,920 to get in. It's tough to think like, oh, I 1147 01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:11,920 can just run like I'm going to run 142 and and these guys are 1148 01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:13,800 going to I'm going to run away from them. 1149 01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:15,640 We. Just seeing some 142 is just 1150 01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,240 randomly solo, like look at Knack act like I brought that up 1151 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,840 before, like Handle Robot went out and and did that. 1152 01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,240 So there's some like it's possible to do without a 1153 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,240 pacemaker. Oh, oh, absolutely. 1154 01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:27,720 It's I'm not saying it's not possible to do it. 1155 01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:29,240 The pacemaker, the. Smart thing to. 1156 01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:32,359 Do is it like like if you're these guys, it. 1157 01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,840 Yeah, it depends. Like it there are. 1158 01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:40,880 I would put someone like a tool on like the your best bet is 1159 01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:45,840 probably to make it fast. So cuz then yeah, you don't want 1160 01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,439 to leave it to one of these 144 guys. 1161 01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:51,640 Well, I mean, you got you got you got you got Don in your 1162 01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:52,960 heat.

So yeah, I mean. 1171 01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:23,800 Finishes off like one of the best 110 hurdle seasons, right? 1172 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:25,560 Like. It was a, it was a we have. 1173 01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,280 It was a good one, wasn't perfect. 1174 01:10:28,480 --> 01:10:31,520 There have been some seasons where like Grant's had perfect 1175 01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:32,880 season. Spoiled by Grant's. 1176 01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:35,920 Just like perfection most and then it's it's unfortunate we 1177 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,640 had to hit Grant with the eliminated graphic today. 1178 01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:42,640 I started to feel bad today. I actually felt bad watching him 1179 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:45,000 today, like he something's wrong, obviously. 1180 01:10:45,480 --> 01:10:48,040 Like, yeah, never looks like that. 1181 01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:51,760 Well, what has he said? Did he say something's wrong? 1182 01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,360 No, he didn't stop because he's. Disappointed. 1183 01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:58,840 Telltale sign of a disappointment yeah it does suck 1184 01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:03,000 you wish that like I I understand having a bad race and 1185 01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:07,520 going through the mix zone and and not wanting to talk but you 1186 01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:13,280 do want to hear I don't know I I just think that it's like I 1187 01:11:13,480 --> 01:11:17,320 appreciate when you do have the bad race and you come through 1188 01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:19,760 the mix zone and. Make it a little bit clearer 1189 01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:21,160 for. People and yeah, you make it a 1190 01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:25,440 little bit clearer, but still just it's like we want, we want 1191 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,480 to just interact to interact a bit. 1192 01:11:28,480 --> 01:11:32,760 It's like it was great to see even like see Jakob after the 15 1193 01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:36,520 come through and he, he, he, he made time was like, yeah, I gave 1194 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,720 him my best and my best was pretty terrible. 1195 01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:43,080 Today, yeah. It's just hard when maybe you 1196 01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:45,520 don't want to share exactly what what's going wrong. 1197 01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:48,440 I thought it would. I thought it was an injury. 1198 01:11:48,440 --> 01:11:50,920 But now you now you leave people to speculate, right? 1199 01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,120 Like the worst case, it's the worst case. 1200 01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:57,600 Yeah, like an like everybody know, like injuries is no, but 1201 01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,360 everybody's who goes through injuries and it's it's, you're 1202 01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,360 not on this level without having injuries. 1203 01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:09,520 So it's, yeah, I, I think it would have been, I mean, and 1204 01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:11,640 obviously who knows what's actually going on, but. 1205 01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,360 You know how no, actually, like it's not. 1206 01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:17,040 I don't think it's as common with these hurdlers, but like 1207 01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:19,360 they don't switch coaches like all that often. 1208 01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,360 But you know what? This kind of here's here's your 1209 01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:26,320 daily baseball drop here and on the podcast. 1210 01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:28,240 I've been dropping a lot of like Major League Baseball 1211 01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,320 references. But you can go from like winning 1212 01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:34,680 the World Series, you know, back-to-back years and then your 1213 01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:39,120 manager stinks it up one year and he totally gets fired and 1214 01:12:39,480 --> 01:12:42,480 you find a replacement. I'm not suggesting that that's 1215 01:12:42,480 --> 01:12:46,880 what Grant does, but like it would be in another sport, like 1216 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,600 a topic of considerations. Like, should Grant move on from 1217 01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:54,800 Coach Holloway after like so many years under the same system 1218 01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:56,600 and switch it up and try something totally new? 1219 01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,440 And that's, and that's where he hits you with the Jacob Inger 1220 01:12:59,440 --> 01:13:00,800 Prince and. It's like, yeah, but I've won 1221 01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:04,720 back. Back to me, if it's worked for 1222 01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:09,000 12 straight years, do you think that that's a stupid like do you 1223 01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,600 think that it works it's like? And it's like, well, it just 1224 01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:15,080 didn't so. Yeah, but it's something's up. 1225 01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:16,640 Something's up and we don't know what it is. 1226 01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,240 Could be personal. Hope he's OK. 1227 01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:21,960 Yeah, because it's it's more entertaining when Grant said his 1228 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:27,760 at his very best. But for Cordell, I just saw a 1229 01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:31,560 tweet from Nick Zuccardi that kind of like summarizes his 1230 01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:35,440 story in like 250 characters, which is pretty easy. 1231 01:13:35,440 --> 01:13:38,760 It's like this dude went from his high school teammates with 1232 01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:46,120 Tyrese Halliburton and then he. Wait, change was that was Yeah, 1233 01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:48,000 with. That's sick. 1234 01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:52,440 Yeah. And then from there, he bounced 1235 01:13:52,440 --> 01:13:56,680 around all throughout college. It was. 1236 01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:58,440 Yeah. So he was Tyrese Halburn's 1237 01:13:58,440 --> 01:14:03,480 teammate to Gopher, to Minnesota, to Jayhawk, Kansas, 1238 01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:08,360 to working at US Cellular, then going to Pittsburgh State and 1239 01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:12,000 then turning pro after that stellar season, I believe it was 1240 01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:18,960 two years ago, going to Paris in July 2024, but not the Olympics. 1241 01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:22,720 I don't know what that's about. I got, I should click that to 1242 01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,160 world champion now in the 110 hurdles. 1243 01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:30,840 Like he's this dude's been through a lot and pretty might 1244 01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:32,760 be 23. I mean, yeah, what? 1245 01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:37,080 Like what a journey. I mean, he's. 1246 01:14:37,440 --> 01:14:40,000 He was also still jumping. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. 1247 01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,320 He's 25. Yeah, he was still jumping as 1248 01:14:42,440 --> 01:14:44,280 like like last year or two years ago. 1249 01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:49,400 Yeah, and he finally full in on this and it's looking great. 1250 01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:56,600 He did actually did long jump in December of last year. 1251 01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:59,320 Oh, so the indoor season he did do like 1 long jumping. 1252 01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:06,320 But no, this is the exclamation. The this is the cherry on top of 1253 01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:11,040 the sundae for Cordell's season. It's been sweet the whole entire 1254 01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:15,280 time where he's had so many victories along the way. 1255 01:15:16,480 --> 01:15:20,000 I'm still just wowed by his performance at in Lausanne when 1256 01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:23,880 he did that in the rain. The China fast time was was 1257 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:26,040 great and then today finally closes it out. 1258 01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:30,480 I mean 1299 only guy under 1313 seconds. 1259 01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:36,280 Great season overall. What is it in Formula One when 1260 01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:39,760 they leave the weekend with like the fastest time and they win 1261 01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,680 quali and they win the race? Yeah, good. 1262 01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:46,880 Don't they call it a Grand Slam? No, I think they do cuz I 1263 01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:49,400 didn't. I just remember they had the the 1264 01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,840 graphic with when Oscar Piastra just did this. 1265 01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:54,760 I think it's a Grand Slam. I I feel like. 1266 01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:56,120 Someone in the chat will correct us. 1267 01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:58,360 Yeah, I feel like if you have the like, world lead. 1268 01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:01,080 We're just scarred by. If you like, what is your? 1269 01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:05,160 Like the the world lead the most wins like or Diamond League 1270 01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,440 title and the world title or something like that. 1271 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:10,120 I don't know what it is for for track and field, but. 1272 01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:14,240 What can we call it? Yeah, I don't. 1273 01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,200 Know and we should also probably come up with what they need to 1274 01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:18,240 do in order to for us to call it that thing. 1275 01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:22,080 Yeah, yeah. But whatever it is, he's got it. 1276 01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:26,360 He's got it. And I think to the point of like 1277 01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:30,320 we were Mac when we did the preview podcast, we spoke a 1278 01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:32,800 little bit about how like we thought that this event would 1279 01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:39,360 have a diverse podium. I'm losing the track of my tabs. 1280 01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:44,240 Here is what happens when. I know don't shit. 1281 01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:51,200 Orlando Bennett, Tyler Mason for Jamaica Go They PR today to put 1282 01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:55,040 get 2 medals for them. Remember how bad Jamaicans 1283 01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:58,560 sprints turnout was last year at the Paris Olympics? 1284 01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:00,120 They're having a great world championship so. 1285 01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,360 Turn it around. They around really quickly. 1286 01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:04,200 Yeah, like last year we were like. 1287 01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,160 That rebuild took. Last year we were like trying 1288 01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:08,960 to, we're like looking at their juniors. 1289 01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:11,560 We're like, man, it might be a few years before they're, 1290 01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:14,560 they're back on the, on the, on the global stage in a serious 1291 01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:16,960 way. And Oh no, it just it, it took 1292 01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:18,960 12 months. They're good, they're fine. 1293 01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,680 They got, they got, I mean, the fans always show up. 1294 01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:24,440 But like, it's, it's actually kind of really, it's awesome to 1295 01:17:24,440 --> 01:17:26,600 see the fans actually have a lot of people to cheer for here. 1296 01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:30,400 Yeah, cool. Jacoby Tharp was the other 1297 01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:34,040 American. He ended up finishing 6th, but 1298 01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:40,600 yeah, good for Cordell Tinch. Then let's see what else we had 1299 01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:42,680 today. We had the men's 400. 1300 01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:44,440 Just really quick on on that one. 1301 01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:49,200 A couple shocks in this semi in these semifinals. 1302 01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:53,080 Yeah, first, first one, Chris Bailey out. 1303 01:17:55,400 --> 01:18:01,520 Zakithi Nene from South Africa gets the win in 44.2 but EPI 1304 01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:06,880 from Botswana gets second. Botswana just wait for it. 1305 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:15,200 Second heat was boosting. He ends up running 43.6 for 1306 01:18:15,480 --> 01:18:19,280 world lead in the semi final regime. 1307 01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:23,840 McDonald's second Dream, Richards third, then in the last 1308 01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:28,120 one Botswana again and Dory takes the win. 1309 01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:33,000 In 4421, three Botswana guys head into the final and. 1310 01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:36,000 So they all won their heat. They all win. 1311 01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:38,360 Well, no, it was second in the first one. 1312 01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:39,920 But he was. He was close. 1313 01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:43,360 It was almost a sweep. Botswana second heat. 1314 01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:46,160 Jacory Patterson ends up finishing fourth. 1315 01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:50,880 He does make it through, but off of the little queue, he was 1316 01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:55,040 sitting in the the hot seat the whole entire time watching 1317 01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:58,520 everything unfold. And then in the third one, the 1318 01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:02,440 other surprises Caleb McRae and Vernon Norwood out as well. 1319 01:19:02,440 --> 01:19:07,440 So Bailey McRae, Norwood out to Corey Patterson, America's lone 1320 01:19:07,440 --> 01:19:09,760 hope for a medal at the World Championships. 1321 01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:14,800 And then if you start to think about the four by four, yeah, 1322 01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,840 now you're looking at, it's like Botswana might turn the tables 1323 01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:20,280 on the United States this year. Yeah, right, Benjamin. 1324 01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:23,160 We need you. Get your big boy pants on. 1325 01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:28,640 We're we might need you buddy. Yeah, but yeah, I'm looking 1326 01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:32,200 forward to to this final. Sama conga, Mazal, sama conga. 1327 01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:38,360 The Olympic bronze medalist out. What's his name? 1328 01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:42,120 The Olympic silver medalist, Matthew Hudson Smith out. 1329 01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:45,120 So there's a lot happening during the meet. 1330 01:19:45,440 --> 01:19:48,800 I meant to hit these guys with the elimination graphic and I 1331 01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:52,720 just didn't have enough time before having to leave the 1332 01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:56,840 stadium. But yeah, this is where to make 1333 01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:00,040 an elimination graphic for Virgin Norwood really cuts you 1334 01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:02,080 deep, and I couldn't bring myself to do it. 1335 01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:05,600 I would say you have to if you're going to make it for 1336 01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:07,240 everyone. Else I know that's what I said. 1337 01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:09,240 I guess it was like no one is no one is safe. 1338 01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:12,400 And then at first, the first moment that I had this conundrum 1339 01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:16,520 this this evening was when Cooper looked in house gets 1340 01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:17,760 eliminated. I was like, well, you can't do 1341 01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:22,640 that to a kid like that. So decided not to. 1342 01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:25,800 You can't do. That you can't do that to a 1343 01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:29,680 minor still didn't. Hit him with that. 1344 01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:32,400 But then we did do it to Grant Holloway, and then I meant to do 1345 01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:35,920 it to five people in this one. Just five elimination graphics 1346 01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:38,360 hitting the feed at once. I would say my biggest take away 1347 01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:44,920 is Jacori. Jacori, he's looked so good 1348 01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:47,720 going into this and like this is the first time that he's looked 1349 01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:50,800 like bad. He couldn't have run so fast in 1350 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,960 the opening round. He ran so fast in the opening 1351 01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:55,600 round and, and of course we're it's, we're going to be 1352 01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:56,800 nitpicking. Well, that's good. 1353 01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:00,640 Because Busang ran 4361 so. That is, yeah, that is no, that 1354 01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:02,960 is good. Over the last like 2 months it's 1355 01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:05,360 been like, oh, it's he's the favorite, he's the favorite, 1356 01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:08,960 he's the favorite. And then we I point out, I see 1357 01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:12,200 him trip walking over the wires, walking onto the track. 1358 01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:15,880 I'm like, well that's not good. We are there or off the track 1359 01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:16,720 there. There. 1360 01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:18,280 Oh, really? Yeah. 1361 01:21:18,480 --> 01:21:19,920 I mean it wasn't serious. He just like. 1362 01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:22,240 No, it's just he was just losing aura points, Yeah. 1363 01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:24,200 He he did. People in the crowd were like 1364 01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:26,920 loser. That's all he was thinking 1365 01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:28,240 about, that he was running around the track. 1366 01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:30,400 Thinking about like an. Idiot. 1367 01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:35,280 Thinking about Botswana, like maybe we just we we did 1368 01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:39,000 ourselves in by hyping up Jacori so much 'cause those the 1369 01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,720 Botswana guys just like. I'm just an American. 1370 01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:44,160 I'm real, from the American. We don't, we don't need to give 1371 01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:47,640 them any more poster material. Like they have last year's race 1372 01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:51,200 already to kind of look at as like, yeah, we're not letting 1373 01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:53,920 that happen again. Now, you know, everyone's 1374 01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:58,040 talking about Jacori. I'm so worried for that. 4 by 4 1375 01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:02,920 we have we have some time to get to it eventually, but three guys 1376 01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:08,000 in the final plus let's see the tobogo dear God, what? 1377 01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:09,360 That's a team. Be fun, yeah? 1378 01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:12,360 That's going to be a. Blast, be a blast to watch. 1379 01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:17,680 Yeah, we're going to need our heavy hitters in that one, all 1380 01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:21,760 right, so that the final's going to be pretty good. 1381 01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:25,160 Two days from now. I believe so, yeah. 1382 01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:31,800 And now we've got You want to get Paul on the line if he's. 1383 01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:34,320 Is he awake? If he's awake, he might. 1384 01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:36,120 I wonder if he's even tuned into this. 1385 01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:42,560 Paul, hit us with the Paul. Are you there? 1386 01:22:48,900 --> 01:22:56,820 Let's see. Great podcasts. 1387 01:22:56,860 --> 01:22:59,180 Oh, yeah. He's he's he's ready. 1388 01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:01,920 Do you have a link for him to join? 1389 01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,840 OK, All right. Well, we're going to get Paulie 1390 01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:10,960 throws on the line because I was sitting next to him in the 1391 01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:15,200 stadium as the men's hammer throw competition was happening 1392 01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:22,120 and it led to several moments him going, Oh my God, and like 1393 01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:26,800 what? And he was just losing his mind 1394 01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:29,560 all throughout the competition. So we're going to give him his. 1395 01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:31,760 All right, he's we got, we got Paul. 1396 01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:36,160 Paul, he throws his five minute throws breakdown of. 1397 01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:38,120 Give him six. It's where it's he's come on 1398 01:23:38,120 --> 01:23:39,160 early tonight. OK. 1399 01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:40,000 Yeah. All right. 1400 01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:47,320 Paul, you're on with us. Hey guys, The men's hammer final 1401 01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:52,400 was tonight and Oh my God, it was he's Torque. 1402 01:23:52,480 --> 01:23:55,120 You wearing? Pants, bud. 1403 01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:02,320 Well, like Chris. Said, You know, I was in the 1404 01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:05,120 media tribune for this whole competition. 1405 01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:12,520 It was awesome. So it this year has been insane 1406 01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:17,680 in men's Hammer because we've seen three guys over 83 or 1407 01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:21,560 basically over 83. Ethan hadn't broken 83 1408 01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:26,880 officially until tonight. You had six guys over 81 this 1409 01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:30,960 year. Just a absolutely ridiculous 1410 01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:34,760 year. And this final, this World 1411 01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:38,840 Championship final lived up to the hype where we saw it for the 1412 01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:45,800 first time in history. We saw four guys break 82 in the 1413 01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:51,160 same competition, which is absolutely wild, Mark. 1414 01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:56,360 Like I think there's maybe 30 guys in world history who have 1415 01:24:56,360 --> 01:25:01,800 thrown 82 meters and two of them PB tonight. 1416 01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:04,800 Merlin Hummel from Germany, who won silver. 1417 01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:07,760 M Hilo Kocon of Ukraine, who finished fourth. 1418 01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:10,360 They both broke 82 for the first time. 1419 01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:18,480 Ethan Katzberg did Ethan Katzberg things and one 8470 and 1420 01:25:18,480 --> 01:25:23,360 continued to prove why he is one of the absolute best track and 1421 01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:25,800 field athletes on the planet right now. 1422 01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:33,520 He's so good and this year, like was it was different from last 1423 01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:37,680 year because last year he was just absurdly dominant. 1424 01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:41,840 No one could touch him all year and there wasn't really any 1425 01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:45,400 questions heading into Paris this year. 1426 01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:49,040 He was coming into this competition having lost three of 1427 01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:53,680 his last four meets. He lost at pre to Rudy Winkler 1428 01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:57,640 and then he lost to Ben Salosh each of his last two meets over 1429 01:25:57,640 --> 01:26:00,840 in Europe. So it was a lot less cut and dry 1430 01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:03,600 than it was last year, which was a really good thing. 1431 01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:09,000 And so there was kind of some intrigue, like is someone going 1432 01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:13,400 to be able to take down Ethan? And we got started off hot on 1433 01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:17,880 the second throw of the competition and Slosh went 8159 1434 01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:20,200 I think it was. Then round two. 1435 01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:24,800 Then the next throw, Ethan steps into the ring and goes 8266, 1436 01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:27,240 which is a little off his season's best. 1437 01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:31,320 But then on the final throw of the first round, Merlin Hummel 1438 01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:35,800 stepped in the ring and like I said, he had never broken 82 1439 01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:39,480 before. His PB I believe is 8127 coming 1440 01:26:39,480 --> 01:26:46,280 into this one off the rib. First throw goes 8277 to take 1441 01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:50,600 the lead very briefly because on his second throw of the 1442 01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:58,120 competition Ethan Katzberg went 8470 which is PB for him. 1443 01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:03,880 The first PB in since last May I believe. 1444 01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:10,480 Maybe it was late April he moved up to #5 in world history. 1445 01:27:10,480 --> 01:27:18,520 Now 8470 is so far, I think it's the best throw in two decades. 1446 01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:25,080 So very big deal. And then this competition, like 1447 01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:30,360 there wasn't necessarily a ton of movement because once Ethan 1448 01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:35,760 moved ahead very early in Round 2, the medals didn't change the 1449 01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:39,960 entire competition. It was Ethan, Merlin and then 1450 01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:47,960 Ben Talosh for bronze, but the marks were just crazy. 1451 01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:54,840 Between the three of them, they had out of a possible 18 legal 1452 01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:57,640 throws. I believe they combined for 15 1453 01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:03,160 legal throws and every single one of them was over 80 meters, 1454 01:28:03,440 --> 01:28:08,760 which simply does not happen. Like sometimes you'll see people 1455 01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:13,000 go out there and have really incredible series, but for three 1456 01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:17,600 guys to do it all on the same night was just unbelievable. 1457 01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:22,280 And then in round 5, Maheiloko Khan joined them with an 82 1458 01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:27,200 point O2 meter throw. Rudy Winkler for the American 1459 01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:31,680 Interest finished fifth. Bit of a down day for him. 1460 01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:35,840 Not necessarily what he was hoping for coming into this one, 1461 01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:38,720 but it caps off. By far the best season of his 1462 01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:40,960 career. It's his best finish ever at a 1463 01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:46,960 major in the same vein as last night when we saw an 18 year old 1464 01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:50,240 take bronze in the women's hammer competition. 1465 01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:57,280 Today in the best men's hammer competition ever, we saw a 19 1466 01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:03,600 year old finish 8th throwing 7715, which is a crazy far mark. 1467 01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:07,480 He's thrown 78 earlier this year with the senior implement. 1468 01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:11,600 And the exciting thing about men's hammer is so many of these 1469 01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:16,040 guys are so young, and Hammer's an event where you see people 1470 01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:21,200 have peaks pretty late into their careers and they can have 1471 01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:25,720 a ton of longevity. And I think Ben Salosh is 28, 1472 01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:31,480 Merlin Hummel and Ethan are 23, Mahilo Ko Khan is 24. 1473 01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:39,760 Rudy's a little bit older, but I mean, Sabato's is 19, and 1474 01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:43,400 there's just so much really exciting, really young talent in 1475 01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:48,360 the event right now. And this was a hammer 1476 01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:54,560 competition for the ages, and it's going to be so hard for any 1477 01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:58,240 other event at this meet to top what this one was. 1478 01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:03,800 Wow. So wait like you're that's 1479 01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:07,600 you're not going to be as excited for any, anything else 1480 01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:12,840 going going forward. Coming into this one, I was 1481 01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:14,520 saying. It's day 4, Paul. 1482 01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:19,040 So much more throws Ed. So coming into this one, I said 1483 01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:23,920 I was most excited for or coming into the meet I should guess I 1484 01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:26,400 said I was most excited for men's discus. 1485 01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:33,720 And I that's it's a little biased because, you know, disk 1486 01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:38,040 is the one that I actually threw and so I always just kind of 1487 01:30:38,040 --> 01:30:45,240 lean towards that. But this one, like it's just for 1488 01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:49,600 men's discus to match this, we need to see four guys over 70, 1489 01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:51,960 which. Let's get it, boys. 1490 01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:56,680 Possible, but I don't know. We'll see. 1491 01:30:57,160 --> 01:31:04,000 But yeah, I mean, this one is just the like depth, like even 1492 01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:11,840 there was a pretty big kind of Canyon between 4th and 5th, but 1493 01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:16,520 still like fifth was Rudy at 7852, which is a really far 1494 01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:21,680 mark. 77 finished 8th. Like it was deep. 1495 01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:24,000 The high end was really, really good. 1496 01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:27,360 And then you saw the 5th best mark in history. 1497 01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:32,120 So that's something that is going to be pretty tough to 1498 01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:35,080 match. All right, there you have it. 1499 01:31:35,080 --> 01:31:38,840 That is your throws roundup from Polly Throws, Paul, I guess like 1500 01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:41,640 really quick. We also had the high jump. 1501 01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:44,720 We didn't have Anderson here to break some of that down. 1502 01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:46,760 What stood out to you about the high jump competition? 1503 01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:51,760 It was kind of interesting for like the first. 1504 01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:55,520 Time all. Year, which was good because 1505 01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:58,840 high jump has kind of been lagging a little bit. 1506 01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:06,160 Hamish Kerr got the job done. Once again, he backs up his 1507 01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:09,160 Olympic title with a world title. 1508 01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:15,360 Let's see, can I find this? The big two days for New 1509 01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:18,400 Zealand. World Athletics really needs to 1510 01:32:18,480 --> 01:32:21,480 fix their results page. This is misery. 1511 01:32:21,480 --> 01:32:24,640 Yeah, don't even get us started on it. 1512 01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:29,480 But this one, you had two Japanese guys in the final and 1513 01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:34,080 that was so much fun. Like they finished 8th or tied 1514 01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:37,840 for 8th and 10th. So it's not like either of them 1515 01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:43,360 really had great days, but just every and they had so many bars 1516 01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:46,120 where like they hit it and then it looked like it was going to 1517 01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:48,280 stay up and then it fell at the last minute. 1518 01:32:49,440 --> 01:32:55,600 And that was one of the best. I think you also in that mix had 1519 01:32:56,280 --> 01:32:59,960 their hurdler make the 110 hurdles final. 1520 01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:03,880 You had their 400 guy make the 400 final. 1521 01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:09,680 And so just so much really fun stuff was going on for the crowd 1522 01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:14,120 there and that was a really great experience. 1523 01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:20,280 But yeah, so it was Hamish Kerr world lead 236 to take the win. 1524 01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:28,160 Sankyek Wu equal seasons best 234 and then Jan Stefala of 1525 01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:34,440 Checkia went 231, finishing ahead of Ole Door Chuck on 1526 01:33:34,440 --> 01:33:37,120 misses it looks like. Perfect. 1527 01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:40,440 Thanks for everything you do, Paul. 1528 01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:45,200 Get some rest. Big day ahead tomorrow and I'll 1529 01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:47,440 see you at the stadium. Not as big. 1530 01:33:47,440 --> 01:33:49,600 We've only got men's javelin qualifying. 1531 01:33:50,160 --> 01:33:53,800 So I mean, there's, there's track events, Paul, there's 1532 01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:55,640 track events. Wow, OK. 1533 01:33:57,280 --> 01:33:58,600 Bye, Paul. Good night, Paul. 1534 01:33:58,600 --> 01:33:59,320 Bye. Chris. 1535 01:33:59,320 --> 01:34:01,440 Bye, Eric. Love you, Paul. 1536 01:34:02,120 --> 01:34:08,120 Bye Mac Love you, Joe. All right, that does it for day 1537 01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:13,560 4 of CS Mac live from Tokyo. If you want to show your support 1538 01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:18,480 for us as we power through these late nights, leave us a five 1539 01:34:18,480 --> 01:34:22,880 star review on Apple podcast or Spotify that we we got a great 1540 01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:25,760 review the other day. Mac. 1541 01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:27,480 I've been meaning to read this one. 1542 01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:30,360 It's called great show, but Mac big time. 1543 01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:33,840 To me, the show is great. Chris does his homework and 1544 01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:36,560 shares tidbits and I enjoy keeping up as a track. 1545 01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:42,000 Super fan point system nuances, reading into Instagram posts, 1546 01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:43,480 and behind the scenes spicy drama. 1547 01:34:43,480 --> 01:34:46,280 I'm here for it. And his crew of event specific 1548 01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:48,920 experts are awesome. To Polly for the throws, 1549 01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:51,440 Anderson for the sprints, and Eric and Aisha for and Mac for 1550 01:34:51,440 --> 01:34:52,920 the distance events. Chef's kiss. 1551 01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:58,160 However, I have a story. It was a 2014 Penn Relays. 1552 01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:02,000 As a South Jersey high schooler, I go to the meet not as an 1553 01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:03,840 athlete, just to support my team. 1554 01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:07,880 On the campus of Upenn, I see the reigning NCAA 1500 meter 1555 01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:09,200 champ. Remember this. 1556 01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:12,440 Warming up for the distance medley relay, I nervously ask 1557 01:35:12,440 --> 01:35:14,240 for a picture autograph or something. 1558 01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:17,160 I don't think I'd ever asked someone for that before with 1559 01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:20,000 that. Ever without ever even looking 1560 01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:22,200 at me with both hands on his hips. 1561 01:35:22,480 --> 01:35:27,160 Mac says after my race. Disappointed, I walk away and my 1562 01:35:27,160 --> 01:35:29,400 team. I walk away and my teammates 1563 01:35:29,440 --> 01:35:33,480 were watching laughed at me. Luckily I've been able to get 1564 01:35:33,480 --> 01:35:35,800 over this moment in my life, but I wanted to share it. 1565 01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:38,520 Nowadays Mac is not fast but it helps. 1566 01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:42,240 But helps this show function and provides good insights. 1567 01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:44,800 Oh, that's not nearly as bad as I thought it'd be. 1568 01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:47,480 As Ross from Cincinnati last year. 1569 01:35:47,600 --> 01:35:49,760 Yeah, well, I mean, I guess. It could have been worse. 1570 01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:52,640 I mean, so it was right before your race. 1571 01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:55,160 Yeah, I mean, I'm going to give actual now. 1572 01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:56,560 I'm going to sound really defensive. 1573 01:35:57,080 --> 01:35:59,480 Yeah, No, I don't think. Should I sound really defensive 1574 01:35:59,480 --> 01:36:01,440 here? Hey, hey, what's his name? 1575 01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:08,760 His review is from Swanky Zack. Zack, I'm sorry. 1576 01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:13,680 But. But but for context. 1577 01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:15,960 It's like you said, no, you said after, after my race. 1578 01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:19,240 For context, Penry, what year was that, 2014? 1579 01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:23,600 Yeah. I'm. 1580 01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:25,320 I'm surprised I even said anything to you. 1581 01:36:25,320 --> 01:36:26,920 Yeah, that's what I'm. Saying yeah, man. 1582 01:36:27,440 --> 01:36:30,000 I'm surprised I didn't say a couple color colorful words. 1583 01:36:30,040 --> 01:36:30,840 Yeah, exactly. Throwing. 1584 01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:32,920 It away.

I remember this. 1587 01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:48,520 He's he got over it, it's OK. Notoriously, like we would 1588 01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:51,400 always try to be the last ones in the paddock because they the 1589 01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:55,680 call room is super early at Penn Relays and the officials scream 1590 01:36:55,680 --> 01:37:03,160 at you when you're late and this is 2014 was this. 1591 01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:05,400 Oh, yeah. Were you there? 1592 01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:11,480 Actually, yeah, I was there.

Or did we, did we run the DMR? 1595 01:37:17,480 --> 01:37:20,120 Yeah. I think yeah, I didn't run the 1596 01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:23,200 DMR, but yeah, we did. But I, I did listen. 1597 01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:27,240 Listen, Zach, it's stressful. I wish, I wish I saw that. 1598 01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:30,720 It is stressful as hell there. We're getting screamed at. 1599 01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:32,920 I think I was either. I was probably anchoring that 1600 01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:34,560 one.
