Impressive 48.05 win in Ostrava for Chris Robinson in 400m hurdles despite spending most of the race trying to put back his genitalia into his shorts 🤣 And the tv productions gave the zoomed replays  More tv time than they gave Duplantis World record attempts

Anyone else see Breaking4, Nike's attempt to help Kipyegon run a sub-4 minute mile? Commentators went super smoothly from "she is on pace" to still finding it all fantastic and legendary and historical despite it being entirely clear 400m+ before the finish she wasn't gonna come close  

 

She ended up a bit under her own WR, so with all this help and such, one can easily argue that WR was a significantly better run than this. There were also two female pace makers, Jemma Reekie and another, but for some reason they spent 800m running a few positions beind Kipyegon and then stepped out - as planned, apparently.
