Nice patient race by Benjamin. Warholm had some issue with a hurdle down the stretch but I think Benjamin paced it perfectly and would have held him off regardless.
Great win for Rai! He had a mistep over hurdle 8 that looked like it threw him out of rhythm but he composed himself for the finish. Really pumped for him.
Did Dos Santos come up for third on the inside lane?
Happy for Rai. He couldn’t have ended up like Bol never getting there due to being born at the wrong time. But he kept the fire in his belly and Warholm looks like he’s no longer capable of holding his prior form.
i noticed lanes 8 & 9 were very dry compared to the lower lanes.
Rai Benjamin juiced to the gills
weather can't be optimal for a fast time with it being so wet. I wonder if Rai is in WR form?

Battocletti probably the most obvious doper in these Olympics.

Didn't look like a perfect race for Rai, he has a half second in him. Looked like he stumbled and broke his stride coming off the curve.
The best runners in the distance establishment habitually run under a genteel agreement not to push the pace, leaving it to a final sprint. Battocletti spoiled their party and snatched away silver (having nearly done the same thing in the 5K). Tremendously impressive.

Battocletti outkicking some Africans in a slow (30:43) race is more believable than a lot of performances at this Olympics and a lot more believable than Chebet running 28:54.
Absolutely idiotic tactics by the Africans, handed medals to Battocletti and Hassan. How can the Ethiopians not manage to coach tactics to their athletes. That woman running the first 800 in 2:02 in the 1500 repecharge another prime example. Brainless.
This!

Yes he definitely did and it looked like he lost steam for a few strides. I think he’s in WR shape right now
This thread is peak LetsRun, old men arguing over a female.
Rai and Gabby have the best-looking stride of anyone in this Olympics
Man sub 46 is insanely difficult.
RING THAT MF'N BELL RAI !

No. Warholm definitely not and Rai is not ready to run 45.
Record is safe for now.
Also, I think Warholm may have peaked.

Wow. How NOT to run a 4 x 100. US men's medal drought in 4 x 100 is now going to extend to 24 years
