The Official Track & Field Thread (Tokyo World Championships on NBC/Peacock)

I'd say the warm up track being a 15 min drive away is phucking with some of the athletes preparation tbh.

Also some of the US based/trained athletes only turned up to Tokyo a couple days before the competition so aren't fully acclimatised yet. While many have been in Tokyo for 10 days prior to the Champs.

Yeah, I was very surprised about the practice track situation. Wasnt a similar situation in Paris with athletes having to walk all the way or some shyt?

Sydney Mcglaughlin shattering the US 400 m flat record…. 7th all time.
Mandem was saying she couldn’t switch to straight flats…

And she eased off in the last 50. She can definitely do a sub 48

She can legitimately challenge kochs record by LA 2028 if the stars align.

I know Paulino and Naser gonna let a hurdler come and a hurdler gonna come and set up shop.

She’ll be 29 by then. Highly unlikely.

These Boys from Botswana did not come to play in the 400

Japanese breh wit one of the most sus poses I've ever seen

I’m shook. She just casually took the American record and wasn’t even trying in the least 50m. I can’t believe I’m saying this but she may legitimately go sub-48

Cordell Tinch was celebrating before finishing the race. I get his excitement, but he shouldn't do that.
