Seemed to be struggling at the bell tbh kind of a Beamish/Kincaid strategy but I don't think it'll work much longer for Thompson. He's not been having a great season
I wish I was struggling before running a 400m in 53.3 (running wide of course)
True that he also got tripped up with Suliman at the end which didn't help at all
The meet began over four hours ago and I still don't see a thread by the owners or anyone else. Maybe something will show up later. This can serve as a temporary thread, I guess.
Summary so far:
Women's Hammer - One of only five Americans with the Olympic standard, Jillian Shippee, does not advance to the final. She threw 71.79 three weeks ago and has a PB of 74.93 but only managed 65.43 today. She finished 4th at USATFs last year but advanced to the Budapest World Championships due to Brooke Anderson being the defending champion from 2022.
- Lindon Victor of Grenada, a two-time Olympian and the bronze medalist from Budapest, is competing in the Trials. He was 7th in the 100m but had two fouls and a pass in the long jump so his decathlon is over.
Men's 400 at 6:06 Eastern (3L06 Pacific) - High schooler Quincy Wilson is in heat #2.
LRC Note: We will be doing a live reaction show 30 minutes after everything ends at 11:30 pm ET. Most nights we'll try to do it at 11 pm ET but we want to try to let the guys in Eugene interview everyone before the show ends.
