Lyles is so unbearable with his pre and post race antics...trying to constantly remind you he's the "cool guy" and coming off as an arrogant and let's say not-so-smart weirdo.

A lot of sprinters run on confidence. Might be his way of "staying in the zone". Or he just wants to be the next face of athletics. Who knows.

:USA Provisional Olympic team after Day 3 (23 athletes)

 

On Tuesday, when the US Olympic Trials are taking a break (not sure why), I’ll do a rundown of the events where the US hasn’t qualified a full Olympic team ;)
 

 

They always run it over two weekends.   Maybe goes back to the day where athletes regularly doubled up at Olympic events.

One way to solve the :NED v :TTO debate…

 

 

 

FWIW this time hasn't been ratified by World Athletics yet (ie it isn't list on the Road to Paris section or any toplists). There's been some question marks about timing at the African championships

49.46 for :USA Kendall Ellis in the women’s 400m :hyper:

 

Aaliyah Butler 2nd in 49.71, and Alexis Holmes 3rd in 49.78 grab the other two individual quotas. 

How chances for Natalia's medal looks now after that?

It's difficult to say. A lot of these US runners peak at the Trials especially if they don't have international experience like let's say Felix.

Natalia's time is significantly below theirs too. 

 

All medalists will run under 49s to win a medal in Paris and I don't think any of the American women can (at the moment)

 

Medals should go to 3 of (barring injury) :DOM:POL:IRL:BAR :JAM 

 

I'm also starting to worry about the cheat representing :BRN coming back into "form"

Aha, possibly.  World Athletics were, for the first time, pretty sceptical about last minute miracles in the weeks pre-Tokyo.
