Premium Member JeffS17 Posted July 27 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 27 I like all the head to head stuff-- I enjoy the middle distance track and field events (1500, 5k, 10k) because they feel like actual races with some level of strategy, even if basic. I like the swimming finals for that reason and obviously basketball too. Diving and gymnastics and some of the field events are interesting too from a "wow cant believe humans are doing this shit" perspective 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it's "just" running but we're pushing the limits of human capability in that regard. 55 minutes ago, ShayD said: Take a flyer on Frank Ntilikina on a min?

There are mini mind games with pacing in the middle distance races. Sometimes teams will even have guys run out ahead and set a pace that no one can keep and force interesting psychological games. The sprints are the same every time and theres really no head to head dynamic happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a no error race. Precision, form, power, focus, accuracy, technique, timing and plain ole speed. There is no forgiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if KG will allow me to be high brow again, the 200 is a much better measurement of fastest man in the world. The 100 is a lot of reaction time and acceleration. Anyways, I enjoy the theatrics of the sprinters at times— loved Michael Johnson back when we hosted. And his gold shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
