Matthew Centrowitz Jogs  

I say he goes 3:31-3:30 if he gives it another go before the trials. Maybe at Portland next week. You can tell he was holding it back.

I agree. He will have to go faster to compete against non USA runners!

@@SuperElott absolutely

@@BrayoFitnessTrainer -talking about & doing are 2 distinctly different activities. Like Henry Rono opined" the more you talk about yr running the less able you are to DO yr running!"

Juice Baby

Centro is letting em know what’s up! I think he’s in shape to drop 3:31.

@@BrayoFitnessTrainer I’d like to see him drop a really fast time but that isn’t his thing, he always runs a minimal, tactical race. If nobody goes out fast he won’t. Rather like Mo Farah, at least in all the races I’ve seen with Mo.

@@headlibrarian1996 oh yea, Mo has always gone for the win.

Right? Did they say Grant Fisher once?

I dislike most running commentators. Very few know much history of the athletes. And this guy commentator basically needs to go get a room with Centrowitz.

I agree, but the dude did dominate the field and he was barely breathing with incredible form.

I mean, he is the reigning Olympic champion

I saw that! They both raced at night so hopefully things got situated.

Ahmed is the reason the fell he pulled the other guy down

Right! I think past 10 meters they don’t call it for the 1500m but it should be 100m. Dudes take 70-100m strides all the time..they can afford to call it back.

Thank you! I said the same. Highkey disappointing. Mo would’ve been in contention to win ez.

Mo literally pulled Avila down. Should be fined or something

@@BrayoFitnessTrainer Mo has issues. Serious ones.

"We have a fall" Lol.

Lmaoo

Trust me, that dude was grabbing everyone. The guy in the blk must have been pissed

and Avila was the one who offered Mo his hand -which Mo the perpetrator refused - a real sport in my book considering his race had just been sabotaged by an athlete who couldn't keep his hands to himself...

Ahh..I missed it! That’s funny

Yeah I noticed that too and was kinda confused...

Time is only an illusion

The are still some 2014 world cup repairs being finished here, so that's ok for our country. It serves well the corruption 🤣

ESPN is focused on being woke instead of sports.

💀💀💀💀

lmaooo

LMFAO NO WAY

Like father like son lmao

Usually you say the word that you see or are thinking about. Maybe his co commentator has a nice rack.

lmaoo!

That’s Mo, he should have been a favorite to win aside from Centro. The whole thing was a mess.

Good point!

tv gem moment tottataly gone unnoticed.

Yeah, that Mo guy is an idiot. First he sticks his hand to block the runner to his left and then when he goes down here takes the runner to the right of him by hanging on to his singlet

I’m not sure what the rules are on that, but would’ve loved to see them call it back.

@@gilbucle yeah it looks like he didn't want the other runner to get in front so when he tripped trying to keep him back he grabbed onto his shirt and made sure to bring him down too. It was no accident

@@ObstacleZone nope. Not an accident.

Indeed

Mad man Scott is the man!

I’m assuming one of the commentator said that? I didn’t catch that. Lmao

Should’ve!

@Mateo Luna Believe Avila gave Ahmed a chicken wing that knocked him off balance. Ahmed then grabbed Avila and dragged him down as he also fell. So they both kind of deserved it. Or not, I dunno. All that jostling was a bit disgraceful, imo. There was a good deal right from the gun.

Doubt he stopped to help. More likely it was to chew him out for dragging him down. Just goes to show you, pushing and shoving out of frustration almost never pans out. More than likely, it throws off your stride, pushes you backward (as you push the guy in front of you, you're going to push backward under the laws of physics) and in this case, got you pulled down. Both Mo and Avila overreacted to the initial jostling.

Absolutely!

Andrews is most likely dealing with a nagging injury. As soon as I saw him at the very back halfway the race I knew it was wraps. I’m not sure about Gourley..but two ppl fell at the very start. I’m not sure what the rules are, but I would’ve like to see them call it back. Mo would’ve given Centro a run for his money.

💯💯💯💯

his move indeed. I think Coop may be running the 5k and Cole the 15 at the trials.

I missed Cooper’s 15 at PAC..no worries, we’ll see him soon at natys and trials

Looks like he’s just figuring it out at the right time for Tokyo 2021.

@@BrayoFitnessTrainer no lol Rio was just in 2016

@@ryansmithers6733 I’m not sure what you’re implying. I’m saying, Centro hasn’t been running like himself...he’s just now catching steam with the trials and Tokyo coming up. I didn’t say anything about Rio Oly.

@@BrayoFitnessTrainer in the video it says Rio 2018. We’re just correcting it since it was Rio 2016 lol

@@ryansmithers6733 Ahh I see...I missed that one. They sleepin out here. Lmao

He was definitely holding back. It seemed like a prelim for him.

100

That's Carrie Tollefson. She went to the Olympics for the 1500m. I like how she said Centro runs with a chip on his shoulder. That's good commentary.

Always!

after centro stole that olympic gold, nobody runs 'tactical' races anymore. just asking for a kicker to out-sprint you. if you have the best time in the field you take it out hard and make it about guts and conditioning, not lactic acid.

Lmaooo. Mo could’ve easily won. 12:47 5k guy. I think that’s the Canadian record.

I agree..however, I’m unsure about the rules for the 1500m. 5k/10k would 107% be called back

Hi. The fall didn't occur at the start. It happened after around 15 to 20 meters. Meaning officially it occurred DURING the race. As an aside, they should not have started that large number on the line. Possibly with a split start but I didn't see the track marked for that option to be used.

@@johnwilson5743 yes. At the same time, the altercation started 5 meters into the race, they should have seen that coming. Now, idk what the rules for the 1500m are. Personally, I was in a 5k this year where someone fell 44 yards in and it got called back real f quick. I would’ve loved to see Mo drop a quick time.

@@BrayoFitnessTrainer Hi Mate. The only way to deal with this is the pedantic way. (Sadly!) The race had too many starters: At least 14 or 15. The limit for a 1500m race is meant to be 12. (Jeez, I think I ran in races that had around 20. Elbows and fists flying. Ha.) But they could have had a second line on the outer for half the runners but they didn't do that. The actual rules for "Obstruction" in races is very vague. At the start of races of 1500m or more, the Race Referee can order the immediate restart if obstruction causes falls. eg "If an athlete is obstructed, the referee may order the race to be held again, or restarted." However, a more lenient approach is used for Heats but not for Finals. I raced Internationally and, as I understood it, it would only apply to the first 10 meters. After that it was every runner for themselves. In 5000m and 10,000m races, the Kenyans would do "team racing" where they would take turns going to the front, then dramatically slow, breaking up the smooth strides of following runners and often causing falls and spikings. Legs would have blood pouring down after this was done repeatedly. (I still have the scars. LOL) It was very difficult to get runners disqualified for deliberate obstruction. But if you were the one obstructed "tough titty" as they say.

@@johnwilson5743 👍 Good to hear! What were your best times?

Looks like he'll be ready. He doesn't need the standard cause he has enough points, but he can easily get in this week

Defo should have been called back. They got caught sleepin

Not sure, but I know she’s been doing some commentary here and there.

I’m fairly sure she also announces the footlocker national championships too

Pretty sure Carrie Tollefson with Lewis Johnson

facts!

Fisher is the man! We’re both from Michigan. It’s unfortunate what happened to Mo at the start.

1500m is stacked fasho!

Championship racing is much different than comparing PB's and WR's.

I hear ya. I think he was frustrated with the pushing and decided to take em down with him. Same thing happened at a diamond league 5k. Kejelcha (indoor mile WR holder at 3:47) got tripped up and as he was going down, he held onto the shorts of the lead runner (Barega) which held him back..3rd took that win comfortably lmaoo.

@@BrayoFitnessTrainer You are missing the point. Mo started the pushing. On both sides. And esp. on his right. The guy should never be allowed to run another race, just from this.

@@cforestmills mo took Avila down with him cause he knew he was gonna get dusted by him simple as that

N fact, if it please all gentlemen of the track who here are present, and if I may go so far as to say of Mo's actions here: it was blatant, egregious, and downright unsportsmanlike. In 35 years of both competing and observing track and field, Mo's actions in this one race is not only the worst of all unsportsmanlike actions I have seen, but equals THEM ALL, just in the one here. That I am not seeing more up in arms about it, is troubling. All that said: have a good day gentleman. Happy trails and blue skies.

Had it but never uploaded it.

Great point! I’ve been saying the same. People will tune in more since everyone knows how far the mile is.

Dude you realize how tired these guys are after 1500? Why you want to put even 10m more on them?

I guess running is a contact sport now. Lemme find out there’s a new section for ‘Covid rules’

I thought he did a decent job, but I hear your frustrations.

@@BrayoFitnessTrainer announcers were fine for the most part but a lot of little mistakes and they didn't cover the fall early in the race as well as they could have

darnn, you really about that smoke huh

@@BrayoFitnessTrainer word to ya mutha. or whatev

u love to hate on the champ

@@speedybull0911 the Olympic gold was a rigged race!

What did he do?

Another Armchair loser. Yawn.

@@veridicusmaximus6010 Didn't you see? He got to the front and then put up a force field, forcing everyone to slow down so he could kick at the end. Africans didn't like it but they had no choice.
