People are saying


You know as well as I do that touching a line isn't a DQ in the real world. Without video, it's just telling us that if you don't have a corporate sponsor, prepare to get screwed. Not saying he didn't do it, but where is the actual evidence?
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

I agree! It seems weird that it warrants a whole DQ, there's something more to it! Everyone was rooting for him!

Also of note, BYU steeplechaser James Corrigan who placed top 3 in the finals, hit the standard today to make his Olympic dreams come true! He had to schedule a meet last second and he got it done

Deshae Wise misses the final by less than .3 she had so much more in the tank after she started slow

Shamier Little with the 3rd fastest time, although she did seem to hit the breaks, I really hope she's ready to run tomorrow!!

Clayton Murphy, the #3 athlete, is sponsored by...guess who...Nike

Video or it didn't happen. And I don't mean one foot on a line.

Can someone please explain the Nike issue? Not usually a T&F follower but during the Olympics.

10K was lit! Assuming Valby has a qualifier lined up somewhere.

Essentially it's just that they have a monopoly over USATF, they control the media that goes in, they control the commercials, they control everything

And Holt has been training on his own with no sponsor for 11 years, and lo and behold, he gets DQ'ed for no apparent reason, and. Nike athlete gets his spot. And, Holt has to pay his own travel, and even pay for his own appeal. It stinks, and fans and Holt deserve better.

Love what she represents...the quest to perfect the individual machine. Not some monolithic training regimen, but what SHE needed, to keep HERSELF healthy, and not stroke some coach's ego.

Hell yeah!! I'm a believer that every athlete needs a different training program catered to their needs!

She's the kind of athlete that Salazar would have destroyed.

Yeah, there's a lot of discussion on what shoe she's signing with or what pro group she's going to work with… why break what's working! I hope she's smart with her next move, we saw what happened with Mu! Although I don't like the Florida coach due to his tampering and somehow all his transfers end up in Florida after second sun the portal, but he seems to be doing Valby right!

Help an old Ag out prior to an event. When an Ag is in a final, please post the Ag in the event so I can enjoy the race/event/whatever. TIA.

Natosha Rogers is 33, not sure we see her attempt to make another US Team, unless it's a marathon or some sort! She's had a hell of a career post A&M! Kudos to her!!!
