As usual every miler thinks they have the best kick. Centro showed that the guy with the advantage is whoever has a head start at the bell and that was romo. Sixth slowest last lap and he still won
Why all the hate for Mario Garcia Romo? He ran a smart race, leading wire-to-wire and held in for the win. The time wasn’t fast but it wasn’t boring. It was more exciting than the time trials from the gun.
No hate for the guy at all. He won the race his way. We just don't like tactical races. I'm sure mario could win running 3:53 and that would be a lot better than 4:07.
This 60m is a disaster. There is a clear rule and they should be following it. I don't know why there is such a delay. It's messing up the runners in other events, the 400 was supposed to be 7 min ago.
Like what do the rules actually say here. Seems like someone f’d up but if it’s the two runners who stopped, why punish the ones who followed the rules and finished the race? If none of the runners f’d up then was it the officials?
also did anyone write down the times from that race?
The false start beep went off. There have no precedent for that race counting. Punishing the athletes for justifiably stopping is dumb.
MGR closed in 25.83 to run 4:07. Last year Hocker closed in 25.87(celebrated the last 10m) to run 3:53. No wonder Hocker finished 6th in the olympics, He was on a whole another level.
Looks to me like they are giving them the option to rerun
I saw several athletes leave after a conference with the officials. Looks like 3 or 4 warming up to rerun. So the guys who ran well won't rerun but the 2 who stopped plus a few others will take the option

Why they wouldn’t rerun the 60 right after the 400 idk? Or swap it with the 200. This dumb delay isn’t solving anything
