Injury for McMaster as well, I hate today.

I wonder if he’ll miss the Pan Am Games in 2 weeks. He’d be devastated if he did. In a interview he talked about how wanted to get :IVB a medal at all the major events.

He already won the Commonwealth Games, and he was actually the favorite for 2017 Worlds before he got injured that year. He would have been the 2019 Pan Am favorite, and still will be a huge favorite in Doha.

Some observations about this diamond league meeting:

- WADA officials must be crazy mad after seeing how blatantly Ingebrigtsen and Warholm are cheating

- Jamaica had a slump, but now they just don't seem to give a shit anymore. Blake and SAFP are suddenly world-class again + the girl in women's hurdles who came out of nowhere + the guy in men's long jump + Dacres. To be honest i understand it, considering that Kenya has had half of their athletes banned during the last 12 months but is still allowed to send a team to global competitions. I also have to say that i absolutely understand that russian athletes/officials are angry. Compared to Jamaica/Norway/Kenya/Ethiopia they were playing perfectly by the rules.

- I also hope that some of the british athletics officials will talk to Dobbin and tell her that she can't go on like this anymore: Until 2018 her best was 23.31 (and before that her best was 23.94) and then in 2018 she suddenly ran 22.59 into a -1.3 m/s headwind, all that at the age of 24, this is just insulting to all other athletes who have to compete against her.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
