Hope older sis Isabella who finished 6th in the W400m Final gets included in the Relay Pool so that they go to Paris together as Olympians :) Rachel Glenn could be a monster in the HJ if she fully commits to it!
Hm not that many. Anyone can fall. Norman has had a rough year and second made sense. Krauser won, Shacarri won, Noah won, Allman won, St Pierre won, Jasmine Moore won, Holloway looked great. Akins was pretty much co-favorite. There was no clear favorite in the women's 400--Brown is a freshman trying to extend a long season, usually there is a regression. Hockey was a co-favorite and nuguse made it anyway
Crouser was debatably an underdog with his injuries, allman only out the quals currently. But the Hj, hammer, discus (lagi) athing mu, and coleman missing out kinda crazy, and lightfoot in the pv too.
Every time someone talks to me about track and field, I share this channel with them. Keep it up and you will be the biggest track and field channel there is. You might need to put out even shorter content to be on the pace. 👌👌💪💪
The only event that isn't competitive this year in the US is the men's 800 m. Sure, its not as bad as 2022, but no one from team USA is making the final.
5.92 is actually crazy in the pole vault! Mondos dozens of 6+ jumps doesn’t make it seem like that but most meets tend to go to like high 5.7 low 5.8 so 5.92 is bonkers!
Another stunning video from my fellow kiwi 🥝 What's happened to the proud history of the US men's long jump? Gone from world and Olympic champions Mike Powell, Carl Lewis and Dwight Phillips to today where not one US men's jumper has even qualified for the Olympics Also I think it crazy that in 1991 the long standing long jump world record of 23 years by Bob Beamon was broken with 8.95m and yet 33 years later no one has broken 9m (or even come close) Yet to put this in perspective, the world record in the men's marathon in 1991 was 2:06 and they have gone sub 2 (unofficially) and 2:00 legally! No way anyone would have predicted that back then So much on though, what's your thoughts on the strict Olympics selection policy? Crazy that defending Olympic champ Athing Mu in the 800m and world lead Brooke Anderson in the hammer throw won't even be on the start line! Any other country would be thrilled to have them on their team! Gotta luv Merica
Idk the oly standard for the hammer, but if the other 3 gals dont get the distance im pretty sure anderson goes anyway. And olympic title defenses should always be a must, purely for the storyline as long as the athlete has met the standard, which she did with that 1:58. Also its because none of the long jumpers are sprinters anymore. These sprint guys should be doubling if they can i rekon!
@@JumpmanTF Yeah I totally agree! They have a wildcard for defending champions at worlds, so it makes sense to do the same at Olympics! There were more 5 women's hammer throwers that met the qualifying standard including Brooke so she is not going sadly. Interesting take on the men's long jumpers not working on speed. You wonder why if that worked in the past, that they don't do that? Noah Lyles is on fire! Wonder what you think of his chances of winning the double at Paris?
6:51 Tbh I felt he wasn’t gonna do it. Seemed to run a little too fast in his opening runs. And for Olympics i think he needs a sub 44 which probably won’t happen till next year. He should be proud tho still all time times for his age

I know the USA's Olympic/world qualis lend themselves to drama, but I really think it's time to consider some contingency for situations like Athing Mu. If she had been outpaced (such as Coleman) then fair enough, but to be prevented from defending her title because of something out of her control in _one race?_ Just doesn't sit right.
Athing Mu falling was a HUGE disappointment. I think the past Olympic Champions and/or World Champions should get an automatic berth to their event(s).
@@thetheoryofeverything7129 Yes though curiously she wasn't focused as it happened, looking over in the middle of a busy pack trying to look ahead and figure something out instead of being absolutely vigilant.

I respect ur throws passion a lot :). I noticed Lagi a little too late into editting, but it truly has been the upset trials. Adds even more juice to the brutal nature of US track.
@@ccbgaming6994 this is obviously just speculation, but Lagi has stated before in interviews that when she does a full wind at the start of her throw, the throws can go much farther but they’re also way more inconsistent. So combine the inconsistency of the full start she was doing, and the pressure of the moment and you get a triple fault from the defending world champ in qualification
I felt bad for Mu...but the commentary team basically predicted the future during that semi-final race, stating that she would have issues staying inside of a tight pack due to her long strides and even went as far as to say she "could get tangled up" (or was it "tripped up"? Regardless). What a bummer.
Sam Kendricks recanted some of his initial interview after the pv final. He will go to Paris, but his personal condition was that either Chris or KC would have to make the team as well. He felt under-represented by Team USA in Tokyo after his removal (and my addition) to the event during the 11th hour.
7:35 - Gotta give some props to Parker Valby for throwing down a pace so hard that none of the Wannabes could even keep up. There were no trip and falls, there were no surprise sprinters taking a top 3 spot away from the 3 women who should be on the 5000m team. I couldn’t believe how many women were getting lapped in a 5000m final.
I feel so bad for Mu, but Nia one of my coaches at my Nathan hale high school in Seattle so I’m so happy for her and I’m so excited to see her at the Olympics
The 400m I thought was expected. NCAA athletes running deep into June after tapering for outdoor nationals especially in the 400m do not perform well in June at a Trials. Remember rubs from Arkansas along with Rosey. They are going sub 50 attempting to peak as early as early May for SECs. Not a massive shock a pro hit their stride at the right time. Interestingly it would have been the Arkansas trio that kept Butler off the SEC podium and that was one less sub 50 she had to expend not being in the college final. You’re absolutely right on Quincy Wilson. It’s not like the nfl or a basketball athlete who may grow into their bodies only to enhance their existing skills . Sprint maintenance is a direct result of your body mechanics. If he “improves” his form or grows, it doesn’t mean he’ll get quicker necessarily. He may get stronger but that might affect how he moves his weight around the track. His body is designed to run as it is now. Kirani James was the exact same way except he was a bit more predictable in his progression though Quincy I think has the benefit of capitalizing like a stud under the brightest of lights. An incredible attribute for a quarter miler however it’ll be hard to replicate this. James of course became the youngest 400m world champ at just 18 years old. And his SB has only been above 44 seconds since that season he started doing 44 comfortably when he won gold in Daegu a total of just 3 times of a possible 13 .. and it was the year after he lost to WVN who had to break the world record to beat him. I suspect Quincy will find probably half a second over the next couple years but only if he can find competition consistently. unfortunately imo he’ll be at the whims of a lack of competition. He’s too fast for his own good this young. Unless he were to run in Europe or fully pro unattached all year but I would imagine he stays in the US going the normal HS to collegiate route. He’ll still be rapid but going this fast this young I think will be hard on his body oscillating from ultra elite to an eye watering 45 and change teenage phenom. Though as mention, James has managed to stay strong despite his rise but Kirani has some freakishly good genes with a solid long build suited for it. Quincy is Christian Coleman’s size. Brooke legit blew my mind though I won’t lie. Yips hardcore .. hard to watch
@@jdoveyk9422 i really wish it was trip, but dawg, you can slow down the footage and see that Mu's left leg in the back of her stride hit the runner behind her, cause she was moving leftwards.
The sport has changed as to who wants to win on that day and just lay it out there...and it was evident in everyones Olympic trials that resting on laurels and running limited races were not cutting it...but for Athing Mu she thought she could do that now she can do her modelling freely with no interferences....
The men's pole vault team politics shenanigans is hilarious. Like any of them have the ghost of a chance against the mighty Mondo. Their best jumps are still over a foot lower than what Mondo jumps in bare feet, lol.
What event didnt upset? Only womens discus? Idk but at every event there is someone who was a favorite to make it and then flopped. That is what trials do to those athletes i guess. Btw awesome video as always Mr. Jumpman
I've been watching Dendy all year, I like hime, but he's been acting like he's an elite jumber. He's not. He's struggling to reach 7.90. The Europeans are regularly jumping 8.20-8.50.
The US trials are absurdly brutal. You don't take the world #1 because she has an off day? Maybe she was sick? Or what about the athlete who was tripped? In most countries, at least one of the places it at the discretion of the selectors, so the best medal prospects can focus on peaking for the games.
I don't understand Hendricks' position. If you don't like Team USA, why are you competing in the trials? You're hogging up a spot on a team when other athletes want to go to Paris. I don't know the full context of his dispute so I won't be harsh about him, but let the others have a chance to make the team if you don't want to go.
Context: Sam Kendricks made the 2021 Tokyo Olympic team. However, he was unvaccinated, and didn't practice social distancing or proper masking practices. He tested positive for COVID before the pole vault competition and was put into quarantine by Japanese officials and couldn't compete. Then in 2022 (according to Kendricks) he wasn't allowed to compete in world for once again not being vaccinated. However, Kendricks agent says it was because he was still healing from a surgery. Through all of this he blames Team USA for him being put in quarantine and not being allowed to compete say things like, "I’m from the United States of America. I don’t do anything I don’t want to. I live free.”
A lot of people want the rules to change for US trials but imagine choosing the 3 representatives in events that don’t have clear favorites. Or an event where more than 3 people have a realistic shot at medaling like the men’s 100. They would either screw Kenny over bc he never won a 100m title, or screw Fred over bc he left Nike and had the worse SB prior to the meet.
Hammer is such a volatile event and if you get out on the wrong foot one foul can follow another, but that's a galling result and as hard as it is Brooke will have to find a way to make sure the floor of her performance is absolutely reliable to at least qualify herself for 6 throws no matter what.
No such thing as an "upset". Every athlete comes into the games to compete. The ones who are prepared the best win. Nothing is given and no one knows what the Almighty has in store. Stop the foolishness. Congratulations to all the fine people who dare to become great. You are all winners. Everyone doesn't get to experience this moment, relish it and remember it forever.
No- why did she just lie on the ground bawling. She should have got up and at least had a go like any other determined athlete would have done! She obviously has not done enough training conditioning!
Some of these competitors are coming to the trials like it's their birth right to be on the team, well guess what, maybe getting few races or attempts under your belt might help you with your quest.
OK - I have a couple of questions, guys (incl. Jumpman!). I have been reading the comments and everyone seems to know their stuff. I love watching he Olympics, but before RUclips I could never really do any 'research'. Question 1 - Does anyone else besides me think that Olympic Trials are unfair and unnecessary? The athletes work their asses off through all of the yearly meets and the indoor/outdoor World Championships, so how could the reigning Champs have to prove themselves again and again??!! I'm not sure they do that in Figure Skating (which I do follow), or Gymnastics or any other sport for that matter. Isn't that ripe for making the track and field athletes become angry and bitter and just rebel against these protocols eventually? Do they do it like this in case some talented kid walks in off the street and blows the competition away? My heart hurts for these athletes in the type of fast sports where ANYONE could actually place! Question 2 - Shouldn't they have rules about minimum personal space when athletes are running in a clump and someone gets tripped and falls? What if someone is taller and has longer legs and has a different gait? I apologize if I seem naive, but I would really like some dialogue here. Thanks! Happy Olympics.
It is a bit unfair. But 4 years is a long time. The defending world champion is invited each year to defend their title, but the olympic champion must requalify. In most countries that's just reaching the standard, but the US have their own selection protocols ontop of that (top 3 at the trials go if they have the qualifying mark). And in terms of the distances, you cant intentionally knock people, but if people collide and fall, its reviewed on a per case basis. If its an accident, most of thr time they let it ride. If its anybit suspicious, dq's can happen and the person gets an auto spot in the final.
Middle and long distance coaches need to coach their athletes to get up immediately after a fall like Mo Farrah did at the Rio Olympics. I'm not sayin Mu would have qualified but she could have had a chance if she rolled over and sprang into her stride rather than slowly sitting up then standing up while facing the wrong direction before continuing to run. The Olympic trials only come once every 4 years and you need to be prepared to handle any unfortunate situation your find yourself in. Hopefully they select Mu for the relay pool so she can still go to Paris. Also is no one going to talk about Quincy Wilson's highschool having the best kits of any Club/College/Pro/ National team, that black panther themed suit from the semis was straight fire 🔥🔥🔥
Quincy designed that suit with the sportswear company. Bullis isn't really a high school. They are a private prep school that focuses on college students and pre-professional athletes. You'll find no remedial English courses or the like at that school. Personally, I'd rather they pick one of the top 6 finishers in the 400m who didn't fall down. Imagine being that 6th person who competed your best, maybe set a PR, and you are bumped just because a name athlete didn't have a good race. That's against the spirit of sport.
Yep, you don't understand!!! Peacock had shown US Olympic trials and fields ... Olympics trials are FIERCE and COMPETITIVE, and whoever met first, second, and third places only mattered regardless of what their score for now; if Kendrick decided not 🚭🚫 to go then there is his replacement: there is the 4th and 5th places so then way did he compete?!! He could have stayed home instead for that foolish comment: there is always someone to take your place: foolish comment, and he was not 🚭🚫 obligated to compete... usually, an athletes have to meet the requirements and the requisite to be invited and involved for Worlds and the Olympics, so therefore, it can be traumatic if under pressure for yourself... It's 90% mentally,, emotionally, then physically as an athlete... I usually expect the unexpected and there would be the agony of defeat.. but that's a another lesson learned to come out better for Coleman, Mu, Collins, and others.. but thanks for sharing though!!!!
There’s a lot of “ unsportsmanlike conduct”lots of shoving in the big heats. Maybe there should be smaller heats in the mid/long distance because it could result in a career ending injury and some people just play dirty and don’t care. There’s too much riding on making the Olympics because being PRO T&F pays so little gets such little support in the off years.
Athing Mu was not an upset. In fact, it could never be conclusively determined either way whether it was sabotage. With no provisions for accounting for acts of God, accidents, animals, or anything else out of the participant's control, the U.S.A. will not necessarily be sending their best. They will just be sending the fortunate. Sure, Mu could have run farther on an outside lane, but if that is the only strategy available to hopefully avoid collisions (which could be intentional, keep in mind), you might as well have everyone run in their lane for all 2 laps. Then, lane interference would have considerations which common lane running does not.
Love the channel but "Holy crap Michael Norman is back" and not even mentioning Quincy Hall in the 400 after he stomped him by more than .2? Getting pounced in a championship is not exactly "holy crap he's back behavior in my eyes
Not every country has the first three in the trial system. With arguably good reason; at the 1984 GB trial Seb Coe was not fit and did not take part - under the USA system would not have run - but was picked and won the Gold.
As a Brit, I find the American system stupid. British Athletics have done some stupid stuff when it comes to sections the past few years but atleast they give World champions/medalists a free pass not to have to compete at the trials and still get a spot. Like for this year, Hughes who is injuried isnt running at the trials but is given a spot due to him getting Bronze at the Worlds last year, or Hudson-Smith who has chosen to run the 200m at the trials due to his 2nd at the Worlds in the 400m he gets an automatic place, then Kerr technically doesnt need to run in the 1500m due to him winning the Worlds. It makes more sense to me to allow the top athletes a free entry than force them to run and lose out on the big names not making the team.
If you don't make it to the top 3, you can't go to the olympics? Am I getting that right? That includes those who've dominating for years but just choked on trials day?
@@JumpmanTF That feels incredibly unfair. What if you have a bad day? What if you are sick? Makes no sense. The best athlete in each discipline over the past year should get a pass even if they fail at the trials.
Thanks for making this video, I live here in Oregon but have been on vacation so not really following as closely as I should - however I am going today to watch men's 200
I agree that if you’re an Olympic champion from the previous Olympic, you automatically earn a spot in the upcoming Olympics. It’s equivalent of a boxing champion defending their title.

I couldn’t believe how many women were getting lapped in a 5000m final.
I feel so bad for Mu, but Nia one of my coaches at my Nathan hale high school in Seattle so I’m so happy for her and I’m so excited to see her at the Olympics
istg these trials are cursed
The 400m I thought was expected. NCAA athletes running deep into June after tapering for outdoor nationals especially in the 400m do not perform well in June at a Trials. Remember rubs from Arkansas along with Rosey. They are going sub 50 attempting to peak as early as early May for SECs. Not a massive shock a pro hit their stride at the right time. Interestingly it would have been the Arkansas trio that kept Butler off the SEC podium and that was one less sub 50 she had to expend not being in the college final.
You’re absolutely right on Quincy Wilson. It’s not like the nfl or a basketball athlete who may grow into their bodies only to enhance their existing skills . Sprint maintenance is a direct result of your body mechanics. If he “improves” his form or grows, it doesn’t mean he’ll get quicker necessarily. He may get stronger but that might affect how he moves his weight around the track. His body is designed to run as it is now. Kirani James was the exact same way except he was a bit more predictable in his progression though Quincy I think has the benefit of capitalizing like a stud under the brightest of lights. An incredible attribute for a quarter miler however it’ll be hard to replicate this. James of course became the youngest 400m world champ at just 18 years old. And his SB has only been above 44 seconds since that season he started doing 44 comfortably when he won gold in Daegu a total of just 3 times of a possible 13 .. and it was the year after he lost to WVN who had to break the world record to beat him. I suspect Quincy will find probably half a second over the next couple years but only if he can find competition consistently. unfortunately imo he’ll be at the whims of a lack of competition. He’s too fast for his own good this young. Unless he were to run in Europe or fully pro unattached all year but I would imagine he stays in the US going the normal HS to collegiate route. He’ll still be rapid but going this fast this young I think will be hard on his body oscillating from ultra elite to an eye watering 45 and change teenage phenom. Though as mention, James has managed to stay strong despite his rise but Kirani has some freakishly good genes with a solid long build suited for it. Quincy is Christian Coleman’s size.
Brooke legit blew my mind though I won’t lie. Yips hardcore .. hard to watch
I love that you cover field events!
Call me fieldman
@@JumpmanTF 😂😂😂
MU was not a upset. This was her first race all season. Obvious she has been hurt.
Nobody talks about how Hurta-Klecker got absolutely screwed by the fall in the 800. She had one of the strong SBs in the field.
Then she tried to shove Elle St Pierre off the track in the 1500. HK sucks probably tripped Mu on purpose.
@@jdoveyk9422 i really wish it was trip, but dawg, you can slow down the footage and see that Mu's left leg in the back of her stride hit the runner behind her, cause she was moving leftwards.
Also guys named Quincy are a problem. First Quincy Watts not Hall and Wilson.
This commentary deserves more subscribers
The sport has changed as to who wants to win on that day and just lay it out there...and it was evident in everyones Olympic trials that resting on laurels and running limited races were not cutting it...but for Athing Mu she thought she could do that now she can do her modelling freely with no interferences....
The men's pole vault team politics shenanigans is hilarious. Like any of them have the ghost of a chance against the mighty Mondo. Their best jumps are still over a foot lower than what Mondo jumps in bare feet, lol.
What event didnt upset? Only womens discus? Idk but at every event there is someone who was a favorite to make it and then flopped. That is what trials do to those athletes i guess.
Btw awesome video as always Mr. Jumpman
Thank you Barack! They write themselves haha
@@JumpmanTFi maybe need to change my username haha
I've been watching Dendy all year, I like hime, but he's been acting like he's an elite jumber. He's not. He's struggling to reach 7.90. The Europeans are regularly jumping 8.20-8.50.
The US trials are absurdly brutal. You don't take the world #1 because she has an off day? Maybe she was sick? Or what about the athlete who was tripped? In most countries, at least one of the places it at the discretion of the selectors, so the best medal prospects can focus on peaking for the games.
COACH IS THE MU KILLER HE NO NOTHING ABOUT MIDDLE DISTANCE
3:20 it was actually fourth
Omanyala- 9.79
Seville- 9.82
Lyles- 9.85
Ah bloody hell. Who lets me write these things???
Two of the three ran in time friendly countries.....We will see what they do in rounds.....
I don't understand Hendricks' position. If you don't like Team USA, why are you competing in the trials? You're hogging up a spot on a team when other athletes want to go to Paris. I don't know the full context of his dispute so I won't be harsh about him, but let the others have a chance to make the team if you don't want to go.
Context: Sam Kendricks made the 2021 Tokyo Olympic team. However, he was unvaccinated, and didn't practice social distancing or proper masking practices. He tested positive for COVID before the pole vault competition and was put into quarantine by Japanese officials and couldn't compete. Then in 2022 (according to Kendricks) he wasn't allowed to compete in world for once again not being vaccinated. However, Kendricks agent says it was because he was still healing from a surgery.
Through all of this he blames Team USA for him being put in quarantine and not being allowed to compete say things like, "I’m from the United States of America. I don’t do anything I don’t want to. I live free.”
Remember when Total Running Productions would prop up Matt Boling in every second video it made? Well Matt finished second last in the 400m.
A lot of people want the rules to change for US trials but imagine choosing the 3 representatives in events that don’t have clear favorites. Or an event where more than 3 people have a realistic shot at medaling like the men’s 100. They would either screw Kenny over bc he never won a 100m title, or screw Fred over bc he left Nike and had the worse SB prior to the meet.
I hope you keep doing videos for a long time
Me too :)
Hammer is such a volatile event and if you get out on the wrong foot one foul can follow another, but that's a galling result and as hard as it is Brooke will have to find a way to make sure the floor of her performance is absolutely reliable to at least qualify herself for 6 throws no matter what.
Athing Mu was tripped and would have definitely got USA a medal. Idk if the other girls that “won” have it in them
3:44 I'm glad I'm not the only one who recognized the Ben Johnson!
The Arkansas super sweep was amazing. Looks Aliyah not making the NCAA final was a blessing in disguise. She played the long game correctly.
No such thing as an "upset". Every athlete comes into the games to compete. The ones who are prepared the best win. Nothing is given and no one knows what the Almighty has in store. Stop the foolishness. Congratulations to all the fine people who dare to become great. You are all winners. Everyone doesn't get to experience this moment, relish it and remember it forever.
you americans sure like to disrespect field events (meaning nbc, not uploader)
It doesn't work for their quick highlight reels of a camera once and it's over. They also usually cut from field event coverage to another race.
To see field events, you have to get past the pay wall of peacock
I think steroids are the actual steroid not the meet but I digress
Athing mu has 0 tactical awarness she can just front run
Or push athletes like hodgkinson into lane 4 when it get’s close ( oregon final 2022)
To have tactical awareness, you have to actually run races
No- why did she just lie on the ground bawling. She should have got up and at least had a go like any other determined athlete would have done! She obviously has not done enough training conditioning!
Some of these competitors are coming to the trials like it's their birth right to be on the team, well guess what, maybe getting few races or attempts under your belt might help you with your quest.
Well said
Only a guy, like Kendricks, who has never won an Olympics, would say the Olympics aren't important. It's because he has no chance of winning.
OK - I have a couple of questions, guys (incl. Jumpman!). I have been reading the comments and everyone seems to know their stuff. I love watching he Olympics, but before RUclips I could never really do any 'research'.
Question 1 - Does anyone else besides me think that Olympic Trials are unfair and unnecessary? The athletes work their asses off through all of the yearly meets and the indoor/outdoor World Championships, so how could the reigning Champs have to prove themselves again and again??!! I'm not sure they do that in Figure Skating (which I do follow), or Gymnastics or any other sport for that matter. Isn't that ripe for making the track and field athletes become angry and bitter and just rebel against these protocols eventually? Do they do it like this in case some talented kid walks in off the street and blows the competition away? My heart hurts for these athletes in the type of fast sports where ANYONE could actually place!
Question 2 - Shouldn't they have rules about minimum personal space when athletes are running in a clump and someone gets tripped and falls? What if someone is taller and has longer legs and has a different gait?
I apologize if I seem naive, but I would really like some dialogue here. Thanks! Happy Olympics.
It is a bit unfair. But 4 years is a long time. The defending world champion is invited each year to defend their title, but the olympic champion must requalify. In most countries that's just reaching the standard, but the US have their own selection protocols ontop of that (top 3 at the trials go if they have the qualifying mark).
And in terms of the distances, you cant intentionally knock people, but if people collide and fall, its reviewed on a per case basis. If its an accident, most of thr time they let it ride. If its anybit suspicious, dq's can happen and the person gets an auto spot in the final.
im so addicted to this guy i waited till he released a new vid 2 mins ago
This channel is Great for the sport and really enteraining. Keep up the good work🎉🎉🎉🎉
Track boutta go crazy with the netflix series too.
Middle and long distance coaches need to coach their athletes to get up immediately after a fall like Mo Farrah did at the Rio Olympics. I'm not sayin Mu would have qualified but she could have had a chance if she rolled over and sprang into her stride rather than slowly sitting up then standing up while facing the wrong direction before continuing to run. The Olympic trials only come once every 4 years and you need to be prepared to handle any unfortunate situation your find yourself in. Hopefully they select Mu for the relay pool so she can still go to Paris. Also is no one going to talk about Quincy Wilson's highschool having the best kits of any Club/College/Pro/ National team, that black panther themed suit from the semis was straight fire 🔥🔥🔥
Quincy designed that suit with the sportswear company. Bullis isn't really a high school. They are a private prep school that focuses on college students and pre-professional athletes. You'll find no remedial English courses or the like at that school. Personally, I'd rather they pick one of the top 6 finishers in the 400m who didn't fall down. Imagine being that 6th person who competed your best, maybe set a PR, and you are bumped just because a name athlete didn't have a good race. That's against the spirit of sport.
@@joelwillems4081 Because of the addition of the mixed 4x400m the relay pool is now 8 athletes instead of the regular 6 from previous champs
@@joelwillems4081shut up.
Matt Bolling has hit such a long plateau. Hope he gets new juice somehow somewhere
He needs to hop on gear💉
Needs to talk to Lyles…
To qualify your arhletes that way is crazy.
TRACK AND FIELD MR BEAST!!!
Rare ant comment. Bouta make my own chocolates too.
Yep, you don't understand!!! Peacock had shown US Olympic trials and fields ... Olympics trials are FIERCE and COMPETITIVE, and whoever met first, second, and third places only mattered regardless of what their score for now; if Kendrick decided not 🚭🚫 to go then there is his replacement: there is the 4th and 5th places so then way did he compete?!! He could have stayed home instead for that foolish comment: there is always someone to take your place: foolish comment, and he was not 🚭🚫 obligated to compete... usually, an athletes have to meet the requirements and the requisite to be invited and involved for Worlds and the Olympics, so therefore, it can be traumatic if under pressure for yourself... It's 90% mentally,, emotionally, then physically as an athlete... I usually expect the unexpected and there would be the agony of defeat.. but that's a another lesson learned to come out better for Coleman, Mu, Collins, and others.. but thanks for sharing though!!!!
There’s a lot of “ unsportsmanlike conduct”lots of shoving in the big heats. Maybe there should be smaller heats in the mid/long distance because it could result in a career ending injury and some people just play dirty and don’t care. There’s too much riding on making the Olympics because being PRO T&F pays so little gets such little support in the off years.
Athing Mu was not an upset. In fact, it could never be conclusively determined either way whether it was sabotage. With no provisions for accounting for acts of God, accidents, animals, or anything else out of the participant's control, the U.S.A. will not necessarily be sending their best. They will just be sending the fortunate. Sure, Mu could have run farther on an outside lane, but if that is the only strategy available to hopefully avoid collisions (which could be intentional, keep in mind), you might as well have everyone run in their lane for all 2 laps. Then, lane interference would have considerations which common lane running does not.
Love the channel but
"Holy crap Michael Norman is back" and not even mentioning Quincy Hall in the 400 after he stomped him by more than .2?
Getting pounced in a championship is not exactly "holy crap he's back behavior in my eyes
What does Neilsin sponsors think about his comments , shut up and jump or get a job
I love this energy HAHAHA
Brock Lesnars daughter Mya competes in the US Olympic Trials shot put 29/30th
Not every country has the first three in the trial system. With arguably good reason; at the 1984 GB trial Seb Coe was not fit and did not take part - under the USA system would not have run - but was picked and won the Gold.
As a Brit, I find the American system stupid. British Athletics have done some stupid stuff when it comes to sections the past few years but atleast they give World champions/medalists a free pass not to have to compete at the trials and still get a spot. Like for this year, Hughes who is injuried isnt running at the trials but is given a spot due to him getting Bronze at the Worlds last year, or Hudson-Smith who has chosen to run the 200m at the trials due to his 2nd at the Worlds in the 400m he gets an automatic place, then Kerr technically doesnt need to run in the 1500m due to him winning the Worlds.
It makes more sense to me to allow the top athletes a free entry than force them to run and lose out on the big names not making the team.
Wonder what drugs they are taking
If you don't make it to the top 3, you can't go to the olympics? Am I getting that right? That includes those who've dominating for years but just choked on trials day?
Pretty much yep!
@@JumpmanTF That feels incredibly unfair. What if you have a bad day? What if you are sick? Makes no sense. The best athlete in each discipline over the past year should get a pass even if they fail at the trials.
Thanks for making this video, I live here in Oregon but have been on vacation so not really following as closely as I should - however I am going today to watch men's 200
What happened to Athing Mu was not an upset, as the title and thumbnail would suggest. Nobody beat her.
Norman is back 😂 seriously,the guy choked again and with 5m more to go he is out..😂😂
What sucks is the favorites have a much better chance to win at the Olympics. It is not good for us.
I’m mad that we arent (to my knowledge) able to watch the men’s high jump
💔 for Mu.
Your good, I like your commentary and coverage, I will subscribe. cool
That's too bad. I'm not a fan of Wilson. I'm not a fan of anyone who thinks they need botox.
Ping Pong OST in the background caught me by surprise
Can’t believe I didn’t find this channel sooner
i literally dropped to my knees in despair when athing mu fell
Es una injusticia ella es la campeóna olímpicos debería clasificar automaticamente.
I agree that if you’re an Olympic champion from the previous Olympic, you automatically earn a spot in the upcoming Olympics. It’s equivalent of a boxing champion defending their title.
Absolutely not, a lot can change in four years. Her past season wasn’t that impressive either.
St Pierre won that race by a nipple... literally.
Would love to see Wilson and Boling run in the mixed 4x400m together.
I agree
