If you were watching with sound on, the British commentator during his (justified, of course) post race rave, gave us a "Gig 'em Aggies".

Credit where credit is due.

My stream froze right when the ladies were being introduced and I missed the race. I hate NBC.

Okay, wasn't sure if it was him or Anderson who said that. My mind was all over when she won but for my own bias I want to hear the commentator with excitement and yelling. Will have to wait for tonight.

Loved the race and seeing Mu cruise to victory and Rogers chase down a bronze, but almost as much fun reading all the reactions! Y'all are the best, don't change one bit!

Raevyn Rogers went to Houston Kinkaid.

I did not know that.

Well, could have been Anderson. I was pretty excited just then, may not have been the best observer?

Glad she got out front of the traffic and didn't risk tripping. Commanding performance. She'll threaten the WR in a year or so.

I wanna see her anchor to bring in the gold, but I feel on an earlier leg she could split a low to mid 48 if she's being pushed!
But then again, she might be the best chance for a US gold if we are behind at the handoff to anchor.

She certainly looks it after watching the 400m 1st round yesterday

Does anyone have a clip of the entire race that they can post for us old people that didn't wake up in time? Just don't want to wait the entire day before it's rerun tonight!

Here is the link to watch on YouTube. It's not the full race but some. The comments on there saying how do you cut a 800m even shorter? Ha. You may need to go on YouTube to watch the video.

Well Mr. Warholm may just have to forgive my skepticism at essentially breaking a WR older than him by .8 seconds
I've seen this reaction a lot and I think it's misplaced. Now I never discount the possibility of cheating in track, but I don't think the performance necessarily justifies the allegation.

If you compare world records in the 400 and 400 hurdles over history you see that difference (i.e. extra time to get over hurdles) declined steadily from 7 seconds in 1912 until the great Edwin Moses cut it to 3.16 seconds in 1983. But Kevin Young's 1992 record stood for 29 years and the difference ballooned to 3.75 seconds.

Warholm just cut that to 2.96 seconds, which is right on the long-term trendline. Benjamin's 46.17 is 3.14 more than the 400 record. Essentially, Warholm/Benjamin have just taken the event back to Edwin Moses level.

Celebrating Mu's win at 7:29 on page 13. Hopefully it's just 24 hours. They kinda run this board.

I agree. Human instinct is to suspect the worst. But watching that race you can see where Benjamin pushed him at a point where he would typically not need to. Perfect race with the perfect set of circumstances.

She did, and it was very clear. I wonder if it was because she just set a national record and not only didn't win, but the winner was accelerating away from her at the end.

I wish they would have mercy and let her back. Annie is about to start the hep and we need her to keep us up to date on what's going on. NBC don't.
