Yup, that 1500 was wild and wooly! Wow!

On another front, this is interesting.

“My performance and what I’m able to do in training is so closely linked to nutrition,” he says. “As I’ve gotten older, it’s become more so with limiting inflammation, making sure I’m properly hydrated, making sure I can make it through workouts. I can’t get away with the same things at 30 that I could at 20.”

Crouser is super impressive, I can't imagine self-coaching at that level

That level of self-motivation can't be taught, and is what separates the super-achievers from the mere mortals. My daughter has it and she sure didn't get it from me.

Track has been $$$. Mens 1500m Final will be all time

Prophecy fulfilled (not mine; his). Ive spent two decades on the TGR of track and field and many of us there saw massive medal potential for him and a strong likelihood of stealing the gold. Insane.

My Kids were napping but i wanted to scream. Centro’s 1500m gold in Rio was a huge win and some amount of luck and the stars aligning. But today! Today was proof of growth as a middle distance top-tier runner and his true potential. 1st, 3rd and 5th is finally the statement of fact that USA men are real players on the world stage.

Crouser is generational talent, like Bolt or Mondo. Such a great guy and so so dominant and spectacular at what he does.

1500m!

When did everyone decide to wear orange shoes.

Three Americans in the top five 1500m race is just amazing. It wasn't that long ago when USA distance track was written off by a lot of people.

When did everyone decide to wear orange shoes.

"Purple has been one of my themes," she said after she and her relay partners broke the world record in the 4x400 metres. "Going into this, I had this vision. I found a barber, I just asked him to bring together my vision and he did perfectly."

Sportswear brands such as Nike, Adidas, and Puma have also prepared for purple, producing shoes in lurid orange and yellow hues to clash with the track.

Uganda's Joshua Cheptegei, who won gold in the 10,000 metres on Friday, was among the athletes wearing fluorescent orange spikes that popped against the purple, ensuring maximum visibility, in the stadium and on television, for the latest "supershoe" technologies.

They are faster.
Like red skis
The vault yesterday was insane. Dude already won Olympic gold and record.

Has three tries to only make a new world record. Everyone cheering. No one left the stadium.
Legend.

The peacock highlight vid for the mens gymnastics all around comp was fun to watch and listen to as the announcers start to realize that the unexpected Japanese youngster was going to take it.

I kept thinking if Hocker hadn't been blocked in the first time he tried to go up the inside they both would have gained a couple more feet.
