In an interview after the race Hobbs said, “I’m not proud of myself in how I got the win, but I am proud that I got a win and a PR.” But dang he looked like he could have run a full second faster, no problem.

[@zk4761]

The American 800m runners are not the greatest. With 1:44 speed and his strength he could qualify, especially if he hasn't done any speed work yet and he trains with an 800m runner. He could be this generations Peter Snell.

[@CoRascal]

@@zk4761 I think Bryce Hoppel and Isaiah Jewett would take issue with the comment about US 800m runners...

[@zk4761]

@@CoRascal i know they will but the last runner to win anything no longer competes (Donovan where are you?). Although Hoppel is looking great right now.

[@redd605]

The disappointing thing is the low turn out, the Olympics games in LA is 4 years away.same day night of the 10,000 in the UK London the crowd is packed.

[@kevinmshea58]

If they had advertised tickets before 10 days out and entries except Sydney more than 2 days out it would have been helpful. Typical @usatf BS.

[@johnnicholson3314]

I wouldn’t expect the entire country to drive or fly say from New York to LA for these reasons. Growing up there I found the USC area the most depressing once that part of LA became run down. Still is. I would myself prefer this meet held at UCLA that’s my advice. Plus England is so small compared to USA THE ENTIRE state of California is far more populated thus why they would fill a stadium as nearly all comers can make it without due stress financial or otherwise.

[@torunit4620]

For all the effort, it would have been nice if USATF had tried to publicize this. They seem to have no clue how to attract a crowd.

@@kevinmshea58their Mobile ads were terrible as well, saw them a couple weeks out, looked AI generated

[@ed_gaa6289]

Lol USATF deleted my comments ☠️

[@blainenewton7188]

Man, Hobbs is looking as strong as ever. This could be his year.

[@repsaknivek]

Agreed. He needs a reservoir of speed for the U.S. Trials and Olympics (if he earns a berth) to overcome getting boxed in and having no choice but to go wide on a turn. Hobbs, Cole Hocker, and Gordie Beamish have seriously good kicks.

[@jensmith3719]

@@repsaknivek unfortunately he would be dqd in any championships for barging through, his fault for getting boxed, but do like him as a runner, and sad to see him knocked off track in Eugene

[@truth8508]

Hobbs had a whole-nother gear that no one had.

[@frostie1315]

in ideal conditions without all the tactical nonsense he’s in 1:44 shape right now. biggest talent since webb - fingers crossed but hopefully there are olympic medals in his future!!

[@oilguy777]

I would say 1:43.9 is not out of the realm of possibility. Not only was he not completely spent afterwards, but he also ran in lanes 2&3 for the first 600 meters. That was fun to watch.

[@QDdawg44]

Wow, I am very impressed by Hobbs.Great tune up for upcoming miles

[@LearningFast]

Great job Hobbs! So many great runs still to come from him this year!

[@davidsmulson3128]

he was so boxed in

[@ВикторПавлов-т5у]

Спорт, это то лучшее, что придумало человечество 😊😊😊

[@sergiofernandez6267]

Que capo hobbs, piloteando como un campeón

[@taylorplante99]

Spent half of the race at the back, and deep in 4th place in the last 100. Crazy.

[@mattsilva4377]

How do they show the B 800 but not the A? Must do better!

[@AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH]

But actually he DID make that look easy

[@jazandriz]

Will Lear with the D3 joke. Go sagehens!

[@Ripples11k]

DIII on top!

[@frostie1315]

Hobbs is crazy talented but some of his tactical decisions worry me 😅 hope he stays safe and out of trouble during the trials!!

[@ed_gaa6289]

Find me and my friends @ 0:24 (red shirt is me)

[@inspire8963]

Well done

[@copper5r660]

Big up Basingstoke 💪💪

[@leotv8303]

800 metres has become competitive

[@philiptuths3747]

Looked like a DQ in a Championship meet.

[@leomurillo2478]

he can be disqualified. Although he won, still it was a bad move to allow himself to be boxed in. This is ok for a "local race" but for an international race (world championship, Olympics or European circuit) he would be fried.

[@torunit4620]

There was a long conversation on the field about whether to DQ him.

[@Ripples11k]

Zach Shinnick? I haven’t heard that name in years…

[@alirunsfast]

Any videos of the A race?

[@mattmitchel1877]

Announcer got jokes

[@Malcolm_Woodbury]

Where can I find A group?

[@finalcutvideography6792]

Felicidades a J.T. López, muy buena carrera. Kessler pudo ser descalificado facilmente, muy arriesgado (y estúpido)

[@Antonio-784]

Pero gano

[@esgee3829]

2:44 better keep lopez miles away from any swimming pool then

[@mikes7654]

Hobbs could have went faster if on the outside….. Excellent job though 😃👍🏃‍♂️. Big Congrats

[@PeterTraveler]

Where is the video for Section A?!!!!

[@ssppo4703]

not the "yeah" instrumental noooo

[@BrandonHernandez-nh7sv]

Hobbs can run sub 1:44 if he gets into a better position

[@1StarAStar]

Ok thanks for the video but what were the times?

[@solomonhiggins4576]

Typical track and field activities. People don’t know how to run the sport

[@jon5173]

Just watch the full video and you will see

[@JP_Force_one]

kessler is an opportunistic runner, he was lucky Tona is a very professional runner. But to really sneak in like that is not very professional and down right dirty. Kessler will get a wake up call one of these days that he can't do that...If it was me, I would have elbow him to the ground for sure...

[@Lebowski53]

He's getting DQ'ed in a championship race. The first pass was borderline. The second, on Lopez, was interference.

[@zorroyoutube851]

No se puede rebasar por ese lado hace poco descalificaron un atleta mexicano pir q segun estorbo en el cierre a un atketa de usa ahora veo lo mismo peri al reves casi tira a lopez vean la reoeticion hay q ser parejos

[@16nowhereman]

Kessler should be DQ. There was hardly any space to run into.

[@PaulJohnson-zk1yr]

Lol ok

[@jonasf4065]

Everyone else should be dq'd due to obstruction

[@checkingoutin2040]

I agree. In an Olympics or World Championship, he would have been disqualified.

[@brucebogtrotter3430]

Kessler smoked those fools. EASILY

[@jamesromano3288]

Why was Hobbs not disqualified yo ???💩💩💩💩💩💩

[@David-cv8zd]

BECAUSE HE WON FAIR AND SQUARE. QUIT YER HATIN.

[@jensmith3719]

@@David-cv8zd no he didnt, he is a great runner but if he gets boxed in that is down to him, cant barge through on inside with little room and interfere with another runners momentum, if that was a championship with medals on the line, a defo dqd, maybe karma struck, as he was knocked off track at the Pre mile
