The salute at the finish line was filthy! What a finish!

[@anthonygardner400]

Just love Hicks. He’s a class act.

[@alg9828]

He's a punk for disrespecting another athlete during the race.. He gave the Alabama runner the "L" or "loser" sign as he passed at the end.

[@steeplebob]

Watching it live in person I was as amazed by the blatant disrespect as I was by the amazing comeback. Is there some bad history between these guys?

​@@alg9828 Yes, flipping someone an L sign with the hand that's on the other side of the athlete where the guy couldn't possibly see it, with a motion that looked a lot more like a salute. An L sign involves putting your hand all the way to your forhead and taunting. His hand comes up for not even a second. Replay that part of the video and you can see it's impossible.

[@hcoxrr]

@@DA-bp8lfThank you! Always open to advice on my commentary to make your viewing experience better!

[@alg9828]

I don't know any of the athletes, nor am I affiliated with any school, so have no personal interest in this matter. That said, if one of my athletes ever flipped the "loser" sign - it wasn't a "dab" - to a fellow competitor during a meet, not only would I disqualify that athlete but also suspend for at least one future event. If happens again, longer suspension. Again, off the team for good.

[@machineofadream]

Flipped the loser sign? What are you talking about? When did this happen?

[@alg9828]

@@machineofadream 28:08. I know someone who is there who saw it in real time. It was the L sign no doubt about it.

[@mitchellhills9804]

huh??? charles won, therefore the alabama athlete was the loser, it was a celebration and well deserved. people like you are just trying to make the sport a boring and traditional chore instead of what it should be.

[@Jackgoo]

this isn't high school. they aren't gonna kick one of the best athletes in the county off the team for celebrating. they are lucky to have him

[@machineofadream]

​@@alg9828 Bull. Hicks is pretty friendly with other top college runners. I don't believe this for a second. You can see his arm is not in the right position to make an L. His palm is facing down, never goes above eye level, and his hand is on the side of his head as he looks over. There's no way he was taunting Kiprop. Kiprop couldn't have even seen it from where he was.

[@isitrachelorj3953]

Ya, so? Why would anyone celebrate winning a race with that time? 73 seconds off the American record! Americans need to stop running to win "local" meets and start training/racing to win international events. No more "sit and kick", running an "honest" race will prepare them for racing the africans. It's working for Ingerbritzen.

Those are college students just entering outdoor season. There will be many faster times as the season progresses.

@@brunobiega all the more reason to race hard, getting ready for events in the future. Nobody will remember who won the Stanford Invite 2023. Why do you think Jacob runs the way he does? You can't ask your body to do incredible things if you haven't prepared it for the effort. Stop training to be League Champ, train to become World Champ - unless of course you're happy/content being League Champ.

[@isitrachelorj3953]

@@brunobiega same for that Brit and Kenyon! Train for the international events that matter. Who cares if you beat a bunch of American kids who will never make an Olympic or WC team, if the winning time doesn't qualify you for a prom date. I refer you to my other comment.
