    Coscoran is the real deal.

    Great running there. Unusual to have such big winning margins indoors at that level. Muir blown away and still ran 3.59...

    It was a great performance, but it left me cold. She wasn’t even breathing heavily crossing the finishing line.

    I know she ran 3:54 in Doha, but I’m just incredulous that she blew Muir away in that manner, who herself ran brilliantly, going sub-4.

    Well I think the gap between them was so profound because Laura initially held back, thinking Tsegay had been led out too hard and she was gonna come back to her. Laura was never running 3:53, but I think it could've been closer if she went out harder.

    Tsegay was wearing Adidas Avanti by the looks of things. No carbon plate

    Mainly sprint events tonight so doesn't hold as much interest for me, but I'll give it a watch all the same. Be good to see Emma Coburn in what I think is her first race of the season. Don't think we'll be seeing any crazy fast time like in Lievin though.

    I wouldn't rule out crazily fast times. A couple of University of Oregon guys ran 3:50 for the mile indoor last night (7th and 8th on the all-time indoor mile list), while the guy who finished 3rd ran 3:53 and then ran an 800 today in 1:45.

    Everybody seems to be in great shape right now. It's just a weird time.

    Siofra Cléirigh-Buttner is running in the women's 800m at it too, I think. And 5 Irish women have already ran under 2:05 today: Nadia Power, Iseult O'Donnell, Louise Shanahan, Katie Kirk, and Ciara Mageean... I saw on twitter that 5 Irish women have never run under 2:05 in an entire indoor season, so doing it one day shows how far depth in the event in Ireland has come on in the last 12-18 months. Will be very interesting to see how Siofra does.

    [Edit: Damn it. Just saw the start lists - Siofra's in the 1500m]

    3rd in 4:09 - a PB and a Euro standard.

    Did the stream only start part way through the meet?

    Run img some strange (to me) distances, what’s the purpose of a 300 metres for example?

    I thought most of them are 200?

    Great times for Purrier and Coburn there. Purrier 3rd or 4th on the all time list, Coburn 9th.

    Good baseline for 400m runners early in the year.

    Good test of strength for 200m runners

    It's useful early season.

    Tiffany Porter wearing a mask for her race. Bizarre.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,621 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    Great 1500 from the Australian

    I thought a false start in the sprints was an automatic disqualification, there seemed to be some debate before they disqualified the woman sprinter with a “red card” What's the story?
