I really don’t understand people, who thinks Hocker is a lock to medal. Why is everyone forgetting, that he always choke when the expectations are too high.
No one’s doubting that he’s in sub 3.30 shape. The question is what his kick looks like in the final 150 metres when Jacob and Kerr turn the dial.
I think the final will be 3.27 high.
Yeah I love Cole. If they start ripping 53-54s from 800 out it might be business decision time and unleash in the last 100 to steal a bronze from guys like Tim, Nuguse and Komen who might go over their skis.
Her tactics were great; she just didn't have it the last 200.
No, she's more an 800/1500m type and that first lap was too quick. I ran quicker than that back in the day, but couldn't have done it off a 56.xx first lap
I'm happy for her. Performing as a favorite takes guts. But she's like 8" taller than all the male actors in Hollywood so a movie career would be tough.
Dear father, what have I done to deserve this plague you've sent me known as 'Lyles'. I promise to never repent as long as you vanquish him with your angels known as 'Thompson and Seville'
The NBC feed I'm watching has an analyst doing a detailed analysis of medal count, with emphasis on home country boosts. Doubly obnoxious, because 1. even though I'm American, I support the global consensus that gold medal counts matter more than total medal counts, and 2. They need to be at the track, not in an analyst studio.
It’s the guy that does election analysis and projections. pretty campy.
