The lighting on the track while they raced was absolutely ridiculous. When the race starts just light up the track and don't pretend you're in Vegas.

[@InfinityCuberRS3M]

That would be so distracting I've never seen anything like this during a race

[@crosslink1493]

It reminded me of a circus, especially the light focused on the leader. WTF. The announcers at these events are getting pretty loud and annoying, too, somewhat like a boxing ringmaster at the start of a fight during intros (at least they quite down when the fight gets started).

WWE

[@tylerjohnson5110]

it’s not that deep it was cool in person

[@cesarcoelho3012]

they are trying to do something knew. Because the Worlds really sucked.

[@robogarden5723]

The lighting is obnoxious

[@giffysstiffy8874giffytuck]

😎🥳This guy along with Dylan Randall, Isaiah Bates, Coby Hilton, Cody Hagen, Tanner Adams and Cole Beck make track great and admirable again...they are great people and great runners😎🥳 Check them all out...along with Aria Pearce, Keely Hodgkinson and Victoria Cameron and Mia Brahe-Pedersen and Kennedy Smith❤

[@EndurancePerformanceOptimized]

Is this a track event or light show at a concert. Hope the Olympics don't mimic that.

[@mitchellb.9877]

Unfortunately I bet they will. For some reason track and field keeps putting on these light shows and adding more and more CGI and AI stuff into competitions.

[@mattoniy2840]

Merica

[@TwoMileTimedTrial]

I ran in the spotlight at Hayward the previous night, it honestly wasn’t nearly as bad as it looks being a spectator

[@geofslagle410]

I was wondering about that. Adds a little different perspective, but I like being able to see all the athletes all the time. Glad it didn’t break your concentration

[@GGmanlife]

Even as a spectator (I was) it was fine compared to the video

[@sharonb537]

Spectators that suffer from ocular migraines are going to HATE that lighting....

[@8bitgdhaxz]

I COULD NOT IN THIS LIGHTING 💀

[@romerrosales-hasek1961]

absolutely crazy to see rheinhardt harrison here!!

[@BennyMKW]

ikr!!!

[@lorenzoquirante8685]

Did they forget to mention he’s the 1500 world champion they just kept mentioning his indoor w and his bronze at tokyo

[@ZuhairKhan]

they did mention it but still I hate this commentator

[@terryreilly56]

Agreed on the lighting. Get tired eyes trying to constantly adjust to the strobe lights. What's the point?

[@alexanderholm4289]

I guess that everyone had chosen to run the race blindfolded instead of this stupid light spectacle.

[@MicahWatt]

I was there! The lighting in person isn’t bad at all. It really picks up the energy in the stadium! So if you think it looks bad or would be annoying it isn’t. And you should just be there!

[@-masteryoda]

Unfortunately far more people will see the race on YT than in person

[@MicahWatt]

@@-masteryoda just saying that it’s not bad for the athletes, and lowkey is what track and field needs rn…

[@jasonbokar7482]

Lights are so freaking annoying. Who ever thought that would be a good idea??

[@J.e.f.f.r.e.y]

Solid run by Kerr. Obviously wanted to run faster and he is in better shape than that but that’s racing. #Getridofthelights.

[@dinkslayer22]

those oregon singlets are so nice

[@ubmuhkehcubol]

The last time I was in lighting like this, I had two light sticks, a whistle and was doing big fish, little fish, cardboard box.

[@pinklemonade8283]

For anyone who knows, are the little colored lights on the inside of the lane some sort of record pace or is it just for show?

[@Qazikame]

Maybe its just me but i got a headache thinking about racing with the strobing lights on the track.

[@fromyr]

Not bad. Only 2.5 sec slower than the Diamond league opening in Xiamen

[@enthalpy7679]

The lighting is honestly really cool and different!

[@cantu4]

what is this lighting

[@i_dont_know_who_i_am69]

unpopular opinion but cool looking lighting

[@cartoonpower0]

Must be the only one in the comments who had no problem with the lighting 😂That would be sweet to run in, make you feel like you're in a movie or something

[@RGatGala]

Damn Kerr is really fit

[@BigLando]

0:20 Forget he's a world champion??

[@b.a.d.podcast9824]

That was in the 1500

[@BigLando]

@@b.a.d.podcast9824 If you listened they also acknowledged his Olympic 1500 bronze

[@Alex-pr6zv]

1:34

[@RasheedDavis-rf2pp]

I woulda ran in the opposite direction with that type of lightning 🤣🤣🤣

[@blainmasterson3053]

Terrible announcing, obnoxious lighting. Great work, Runnerspace and UO.

[@edwardgutierrez2638]

Jeez dude is this a broadway show or a track meet?

[@BreakawayB]

🥴 Tell us you got new lights without saying you got new lights… 💡

[@liberty5069]

The lighting made me dizzy just watching it.

[@mx3max]

this is the reason track is so broke no one wants fun, personally lighting and music can actually make a long race not boring for an average viewer

[@peterdvideos]

I’m not watching this video because of the stupid lighting.

[@amjid300]

What’s with the stupid lights?? Ridiculous.

[@ob400mH]

Lights are sick!

[@redrojo22911]

People complaining about the lights but not about rainbow road on Mario kart

[@Ladakhirunner]

Why is Josh Kerr wearing glasses during night time?

[@icejam-xq5hj]

I believe it's because of sponsorship.

[@theveggie5733]

Probably because of the spotlight and ridiculous lighting

[@philbrown6056]

he said in an interview he likes to put on glasses as a way of getting into “race mode”

[@shanegill5091]

Likely cocaine...

[@Ladakhirunner]

@@philbrown6056 even at the cost of being blinded by the glasses?

[@brucewayne-bp2qw]

Wait a minute. Was that a real race or computer generated. There was nobody in the stands. It looked A.I. generated

[@richardpauly1635]

Not many people watching

[@daleeckebrecht6464]

$25.00 a ticket kept me home.

[@notSpencerJackson]

expensive ahh ticket

[@robinbauer1975]

tbh grat lsst 200 from kerr

[@kza695]

Not watchable- I just searched the results.

[@markbateman9222]

Josh is already - very early season - running faster over 800 than Jacob is capable of. This is why Kerr will win gold in Paris. In championship 1500 racing 800 speed is very important. Kerr is strong, highly unlikely that Jacob runs away from him and as at last year's world champs Kerr takes him ovee the last 150.

[@corbincovington7036]

always love to see Brandon Miller compete

[@corbincovington7036]

(the lights are horrible to witness as a spectator watching on youtube but can we also acknowledge how horrible that pace setter was)

[@JG-vj7lm]

The lights were not necessary lol. Too much. Too much.

[@joshuasmith1215]

Great turnout lol

[@scottellis5324]

Where are all the track town fans? Place looked empty. Maybe Nike should contract Caitlyn Clark to come to Track meets haha. It's a joke.

[@mattoniy2840]

When you spend all the money on production and not on marketing.

[@ekimperformance]

Stop crying about the lights. We need creativity in the sport.

[@rainbowmonkMC]

they are going to give a viewer a seizure with this lighting!

[@steveilg6134]

Just STOP trying to Vegasize our sacred humble sport of genuine warriors… sucks soooo bad

[@ericf9465]

Can't stand pacers who step off inside. Move out, then slow down.
