Incidentally, everyone is preparing in the infield which keeps the meet fast, but kills off the Jav, Discus & Hammer. Let’s hope no-one gets ideas.... bmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grassmarket 2,749 Posted August 14, 2020 #63 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Unbelievable! Obviously the influence of the green lights which showed him where he was at every moment. And massive respect to the lapped runner who got out of the way - so few lapped runners do that anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that as well. Great respect shown there. Also, the 3rd American 1-2 today. This time by the Lyles brothers in the 200m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grassmarket 2,749 Posted August 15, 2020 #70 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Strange to see that Zátopek only had it once. Guess he was a racer more than a time triallist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
