Meanwhile the women have started in London. Let's go Salpeter :cheer: 

Pacemakers head off at announced, discussed, agreed pace.  No-one follows.  :hairpull:
 

Athletes now shouting at pacemakers to bring them back.  Problem is pacemakers are paid to run at a certain pace, are worried that if they don’t do the job they don’t get paid.

About time Nike was forced to take some responsibility for the Nike Oregon Project.

 

Former track phenom Mary Cain has filed a $20million lawsuit against former coach Alberto Salazar and his former employer, Nike, alleging that she suffered mental and physical abuse during her four years at the firm's Oregon Project.

 

Cain, 25, alleges in a lawsuit filed in Multnomah County, Oregon state court on Tuesday that Salazar humiliated her publicly on several occasions by disparaging her weight after making her get on a scale in front of other people.

So winning the Olympics 100 & 4x100 gold medals are not enough to be even among the nominated for the Athlete of the year, if you not named Usain apparently :p

Big hype for tomorrow’s Valencia Half-marathon, being billed as a double WR attempt.  Also full marathons from Rotterdam, Rennes, Ljubljana & Venice.

There's more to the year than just the Olympics.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
