Fuck off Michael Johnson you cunt (that’s MJ right?)
Assume that the track is at the University of Oregan/Phil knight
If that’s in Eugene then I’d say you’re right. Purpose built athletics track
Becker seemed to lose a bit of ground but haven’t seen the time splits. The 3rd & 4th legs were really good.

That’s a ridiculous split by the pride of Tallaght AC. Becker definitely went out too fast which cost her in the final 100m.
A medal is unlikely but all kinds of shit can happen in relays so hopefully they can improve again and give themselves a shot at something. Phil Healy being there would be a huge advantage to have as well
It must be some set up as they also have a fairly impressive purpose built football stadium on campus too
Rhasidat is a future Olympic medal winner. If you believe her she hasn’t trained for a 400m yet
Love this coaching
Floreal, the head coach at the University of Texas, had a hunch after that race what was occurring. In training the following week, he got one of his male sprinters to overtake Adeleke as she sprinted around the turn and he could spot straight away the tension in her stride.
“I’d always be coming off the bend in first but then I’d panic that I’d get caught and I’d immediately tighten up,” she says. “I just need to learn to run more relaxed, but that’s going to be a long process.”
Final at 3.50am Irish time. Unless there’s a baby looking to be fed I’ll be reliant on Social Media or TFK in the morning to find out how it went.

Spot on. You could get a few DQs.
It’s a contact sport.
It’s rare enough you’d see an Irish sprinter go by a Jamaican sprinter

No joy in final. Rhasidat missed it due to being unwell.
The Dutch lady produced some finish to take silver

Was doing a bit of research and that 49.80 split should translate to a 50.50 in a race.

100M womens hairstyles have gone to an insane level in recent years. Flo Jo had nothing on them, nails or not
