2024 Track and Field Thread — OLYMPICS!!! - Day one this friday

[IATT]

They always had rest days at trials?

was confused as hell when I went to turn on nbc last night.. and then started googling the schedule

 

[Xennial]

Yeah we're not back in business til tmrw

 

[tramericanjr]

Too much false starts today ….. I think it’s been 10 so far and only one person has been dq

 

[Xennial]

who's going to get the 3rd 200m spot besides Prandini and Gabby Thomas

 

[DCAllAfrican]

 

[tramericanjr]

I wanted briana to make the team but hopefully she is on the relay team ….

good team for the Yardie women ….. the men however look shaky this year

 

[IATT]

Man grant Holloway really looks like a man on a damn mission

I doubt it happens, but I really wish he got a shot at the 4 x 4.. would be a guaranteed sub 44 leg

Rai Benjamin looked way too good in that 4 hurdles.. and kerley is already on the team too

 

[Xennial]

that jamaican 4x100 women's team could set a new WR, wonder if Briana williams or morrison would be the 4th leg

 

[tramericanjr]

Grant Holloway just ran 12.81……. One tenth away from tying the world record

record might be made in the final

 

[tramericanjr]

Rai Benjamin just got the second fastest time ever 46.83…..

 

[Xennial]

that 400mh final with Rai, Warholm, Samba, McMaster going to be fire

 

[tramericanjr]

Erriyon knighton the 17 year old ran 19.88 in the semis ….. these us runners are on another level this year …. Hope it translate to medals

 

[mr z]

Medals on lock if everybody stays healthy

 

[frshstunna]

[Xennial]

[IATT]

[tsamshox]

Sydney doing the damn thing I hope she wins Gold this year.

 

[tramericanjr]

Medals on lock if everybody stays healthy

He ran 19.84 after

 

[tramericanjr]

Great last day …. The track was handing out world records and personal best ….

this USA team might be the best if everyone runs their best and are healthy

a lot of new young talent as well

 

[IATT]

Sooooo ummmmmmmm Sydney a lock for that 4 x 4

and mu gotta be on there too after that 8 she ran

and Muhammad gotta be a lock too with her going 52.4 with what she dealt with this season

With only Hayes going sub 50 at trials ain’t even a stretch

 

[masagipatron]

I don’t rock with the Olympics outside of basketball but I’m definitely rooting for Dalilah Muhammad. She’s from Queens. I knew her sister in junior high school. Dalilah won the gold in the last Olympics.

 

[tramericanjr]

Sooooo ummmmmmmm Sydney a lock for that 4 x 4

and mu gotta be on there too after that 8 she ran

and Muhammad gotta be a lock too with her going 52.4 with what she dealt with this season

With only Hayes going sub 50 at trials ain’t even a stretch

USA will try to push Allison Felix in there …. You know that …

 

[IATT]

USA will try to push Allison Felix in there …. You know that …

not if she ain’t the fastest American of those 3

Especially when syd and Muhammad had the fastest splits kinda easily at worlds

and mu was faster in the 4 than all of em at NCAAs, but she was faster in the 8 here

 

[Xennial]

should sydney switch to doing the 400m flat after this olympics if she wins gold in the 400mh?
