    re: zzzz

    I don't see the photo of Jakob you're referring to where he looks higher up, but there's no question the photographer angle makes Moraa's jump look higher than it was. At the same time she also got some air - not hard to imagine a circumstance where winning a world championship for the first time puts enough pep in your step to celebrate.

    @Getty Images - thanks for the amazing photos but would it kill you to implement some more sophisticated filters / tags?

    If you scroll them it's almost like a flipbook:

    You can always count on some LRC dolts for some truly idiotic “proof” that someone is doping.

    ”Tefera’s mouth wasn’t agape enough at the end of his race!”

    ”Moraa jumped too high for my liking!”

    She was the most relaxed in the introductions coming out of the chute. Mary was the only one who had a cute coordinated dance and she looked happy.

    So tell me about who else you've seen execute a high jump at the end of a tight md race without saying you never have seen them do this.

    Exactly. Total DB comment. While deluding himself that he's clever using the overused "tell me....without telling me" phrase. You're awesome, buddy.

    And, of course, what she did at the end of that race is very, very rare. Terribly "meaningful"? No. Unique? Yes. Kind of impressive? Yes.

    So you didn't notice I was sending up the dipstick that used the "tell me" phrase. That tells me everything I need to know about you. As dense as a bunch of bricks.

    Yes - what she did at the end of the race is "unique", "impressive" and "very very rare". Gee, I wonder why. However, what isn't rare is doping amongst top Kenyan athletes. It probably goes hand in hand with her doing a virtual somersault on the line.

    This one looks fake too but I think it's real. Noah Lyles at the start line. Hope this link works.

    Noah Lyles used to be a high jumper and has jumped 2m+.

    Was just wondering how good he would be in the long jump with a year of practice.

    Maybe with straight legs she would've been close to 1.5, but still, that's not an unbelievable leap, even at the end of an 800.

    What if there was an 800 meter steeplechase! You'd see a lot more falls than the 3000m stuff. People absolutely wiped out in the last 200 faceplanting in the water.

    re: knees_on_borrowed_time

    How can you tell if someone is full of roids?

    they never look tired.

    you should NOT be able to leap for joy at the end of a full out sprint against the best in the world.

    there have been VERY few cases more obvious than this one.

    re: BoogieNights
    I hadn't seen this before but, Jesus, you people can make a narrative out of anything. If you actually watch the race you'll see the "jump" wasn't nearly as high as people are saying, and as people have said, it's simply the euphoria/adrenaline of getting your first big win. Plus, she literally buckled as soon as she landed.

    I'm sure you people say nothing after Jakob is still jogging after blasting a historic time in a DL.
