JG has written a great preview of World Juniors.
Let us introduce you to Sasha Zhoya. The lad was better than Mondo Duplantis at the pole vault at the same age but now doesn't even pole vault. He hurdles.

Kenya wrecked in the JR 3k. How old do we think those EThiopians are?
Jon is always complaining about ages. In Tokyo, I actually thought some of the Ethiopians looked young. What do you guys think?
Mondo Duplantis is one of my favorite American athletes
Mboma doesn't have XY chromosomes! The rules have been changed. You should follow the news more carefully.

Kenya and Ethiopia should be barred from these champs. Too many athletes with unverifiable ages.
Actually, here is a photo of the Ethiopian duo that went 1-2. I think the winner Worku does look pretty young (he's on the right).

Nope. The old myth about Kenyan rural kids missing birth records has been debunked. But LRC continues to run with that narrative. You can't access government services today without them.
Well, Worku lost the 5000m to Kenya's Benson Kiplagat. We could be seeing the birth the sport's next big rivalry.

Something that was true 20 years ago. It’s been a long time since this was actually true. Why is it so hard to believe that the countries that have the best runners also have the best young runners?
I'll say I like the way Worku runs. He's fearless and aggressive and has a bit of swagger to his stride. He was not pleased with the loss.
Where are the replays for this meet? Letsrun says they would be on NBC Sport and NBC Olympics. I searched on both websites and found nothing for this meet. I only found 30 seconds of video of finish of 5000m on World Athletics Youtube channel.
12.93 for Zhoya in the semi. New U20 World record.
I see PeacockTV had live and replays available behind their Premium service that cost $5 per month and is free for some Comcast/Xfinity customers depending on their level of service.
