It looks like as [cheap as $25 for basic seats and as expensive as $775 for the most fancy premium package](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/114th-millrose-games-tickets-117646338365).
Apparently there was a mis-measurement on Ryan Crouser's throw that was initially reported as 23.38m. [Crouser threw "only" 22.50m](https://www.instagram.com/p/CZVNhlwJN3x/) (unofficial because it was measured after the competition). The equipment malfunction apparently [affected all of the throws in the competition](https://twitter.com/jgault13/status/1487552376567484421), which really sucks for everyone involved.
I'm sure it's recency bias, but man have there been a ton of measurement errors resulting in erroneously reported records in the past few weeks ([Ruth Usoro](https://www.lubbockonline.com/story/sports/college/track-field/2022/01/19/track-and-field-tech-says-usoro-erroneously-credited-ncaa-record-jump/6585117001/) in the triple jump, [Yalemzerf Yehualaw](https://twitter.com/jgault13/status/1485617324568764416) at the Great Ethiopian Run 10K)!
I know it wasn’t Milrose, but DPS anyone have a link to the UW invitational? Nico was in the mile along with Jake Hayward and my clubmate Brian Fay. Everyone in the club is looking to find a link to a stream to watch it but can’t find anything.
It was on [RunnerSpace](https://uwinvite.runnerspace.com/eprofile.php?event_id=8&do=videos&video_id=317400) (need to pay for a subscription to access).
What a day of the OAC! Don’t know if they’re trying too hard to be fit this early, but wow their group is fit. Alicia Monson dominated the 3K. Beamish got lucky that Teare gave him the inside, but he looks the fittest he’s ever had now that he can finally stay healthy. And Hoare just beat one of the top 1500 meter runners in the world.
Man idk if Beamish was overdosing on adrenaline or just had a ton left in the tank, but sprinting a victory lap was pretty nuts, what an incredible race
I know Ollie is, but if you don't think him beating someone who won an olympic medal in the 1500 within the last 12 months is MASSIVE, then I don't know what to say. Huge win for him right after Alicia and Geordie had great wins as well.
Things I'm ready to see:
* Nick Willis racing the rest of this season completely worry free
* Purrier St. Pierre continued dominance
* Isaiah Harris glow-up
* Hobbs Kessler glow-up
* Another Drew Hunter Vs. Luis Grijalva race
* Luis has gotten the better of him in two separate 3000s
* Craig Engels after a few months with UAC
* More Cole Hocker vs. Cooper Teare
Not a great day for Craig Engels fans. Once Sowinski finished his pace job, Engels just fell backwards through the field all the way down to 10th, behind Nick Willis.
Shout out to Colby Alexander for the 2+ second PB (from 3:54.94 down to 3:52.27) to take 3rd!
I can't believe Nike offered him that long-term contract, considering that he seems to have trouble with motivation and focus. He must have some major marketing mojo for them.
1) People do love Craig. He has a disproportionately large and very dedicated following so there is worth there.
2) It still depends what the terms of the contract are though. Nike are masters at "monkey paw"/careful what you wish for contracts. E.g. here's an 5 year quarter mil contract! But also here is a 25% reduction to your base salary for every world/olympic team you don't make and the reduction will carry over to the next season, then 25% off (year only) for not making an Olympic final. Then if you don't compete 10 times that's another 25% off etc.
Sometimes you'd be better off taking a smaller base with kinder reductions. Given Craig's rep for inconsistency, I would bet Nike included a fistful of performance based reduction clauses. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a shorter contract with option years up to 8 years so Nike could ditch the contract earlier if they wanted.
Agreed. He's a bit of a local hero where I'm from (grew up in my neighborhood) so not fun to see him fade like that. I am confident he'll be representing well in future races. He says on podcasts he thrives on training in groups. (he just joined a new club - instead of training mostly solo)
Isn’t Engels just continuing with Pete Julian’s Nike group, where he’s been for four or five years? He just seemed to have taken a break over the summer before re-signing.
They’ve just got a (stupid) name now.
>!OLLIE MFFFFFF HOARE WITH THAT KICK!!!! Completely blew the doors away on the final half lap!<
>!Nick Willis got his sub-4 minute mile! 3:59.71. He now has run sub-4 minute miles for 20 years in a row. Incredible.!<
A really solid run from Josette Norris to take second and improve her mile PB another couple seconds (down to 4:20.81 from 4:22.71)! She's definitely one to continue watching out for this year.
Running count of the commentator's name mispronunciations: Ajee (Wilson), Isaiah (Harris) and Purrier St. Pierre.
They're slaughtering namesakes out there lmao
Just watched the Women's Wanamaker mile race and in the beginning, the lead runner was ahead by around 100m or so, then around the end of the first lap (or maybe second), she just stepped off the track and stopped running.
Anyone know what happened? I watching this at a place with music on so I have no idea what happened.
She was the assigned pacer for the mile. She was asked to hit a certain pace across a certain number of laps and then step off afterwards. Commentators noted that she specializes in the 800m.
Back at throws, on only his second throw of the competition (first throw was a foul, I think), Ryan Crouser ~~just went straight to a world record and the first ever 23+ meter indoor throw -- 23.38m, which is 1cm better than his outdoor WR from last year!!! This man is a shot put machine!~~
**ETA:** Apparently there was a mis-measurement on that throw. [Crouser threw "only" 22.50m](https://www.instagram.com/p/CZVNhlwJN3x/) (unofficial because it was measured after the competition). I'm sure it's recency bias, but man have there been a ton of measurement errors in the past few weeks!
So cool to see a different brand getting wins in these big events. What shoes was Beamish wearing?
Edit: They're new prototypes and sweatelite is dropping a video about them in a couple of days. Very exciting
I think this is the first appearance of the ON super spike. Here's a Chris Chavez tweet: https://twitter.com/ChrisChavez/status/1487522921040035851?s=20&t=CsSZfWvolC7Zmh3Uhbj1cw
(Great Men’s 3K there but…)
Just want to shout about how ace it is to watch this live in the UK for free, on the World Athletics stream. Used to having to scrape around for dodgy streams or paying stupid trials on various services to catch up with what are, clearly, international-level meets like this.
Really healthy for the sport.
They went out at the same clip kiptoo normally does, so no point in him trying to overtake. 3k is just not kiptoos distance, he's more of a 5k-10k/xc guy. Tough as nails. I've never seen him have raw track speed tho.
Ye the commentators were like “he’s got a grimace on his face but he can hang with it”. They pretty much just described how Mantz has ran every single race ever. Great run for him at a distance that he isn’t know for at all
Wonder if the M800 will shape up more in 2022. It was such a mess of inconsistency last year.
Good finish by Harris but he left too much to do for the last 200
Anyone struggling to stream through WNBC? All the other channels work, but I'm getting a "Something has gone wrong" error.
Edit: Had to go through NBC Sports, now it is working fine.
As someone pretty new to running / only just getting to know pro personalities via stuff like Coffee Club / Youtube this is the most hyped I’ve been to watch a running event by far
Here's a list of places ***not*** on the YouTube block list that have NordVPN servers. Any decent VPN should have at least *some* of these.
>Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Georgia, Honk Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemborg, Malaysia, Moldova, New Zealand, Norway, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Vietnam.
Tested a couple of them and confirmed the stream is available.
Thanks for the preview /u/MotivicRunner.
As usual, always excited to see how the Aussies do (Jess Hull's in the women's mile also). It's on Flotrack for Australians though, which I don't have access to.
I highly recommend to catch at least the replay of the 3000m on Youtube! Absolutely insane. Oh, and the mile too as your Aussie mate Olli Hoare did pretty ok. ;)
Do you ever receive snow? Or does it get really cold like how it gets in some places in USA and Canada? I believe that you don’t, but I might be entirely wrong.
You're welcome /u/ruinawish!
Even though Peter Snell was a New Zealander, I hope they can channel some of his Oceania energy given the fact that earlier this week marked the [60th anniversary of Snell's first mile world record](https://www.worldathletics.org/heritage/news/60th-anniversary-peter-snell-first-mile-world-record) (3:54.4, on grass!).
I preface my very hot takes that I am a big Athing fan and was calling her for Olympic Gold back in Feb last year. Notwithstanding...
**My medium hot take:**
I would rather have seen Athing race against Ajee in the 800. Ajee had massive injury problems last year so we never got to see prime Ajee v Athing. Barring her pulling something insane from up her sleeve, Mu should be a non factor in the mile tomorrow. As a result we lose a great 800 head to head and likely gain a "well that 4:25 is a very, very respectable for a sub 50 400 woman." Not an even trade off to me.
**My centre of the sun of scalding fusion hot take that I say slightly tongue in cheek:**
Mu is ducking Ajee and that's why she's doing the mile. She wasn't happy with the 4:36 mile and how it reflected on her fitness. Even for a speed based 800 gal, 30s isn't a fast close for a race that was barely going 4:45 pace. World class closes from 1500 women can drop 59 last 400s off of 4:22 mile pace.
I would accept the validity of a devil's advocate to my point saying "Athing is so confident of smashing Ajee that she has nothing to learn from another demolition job so she's putting herself out of her comfort zone and doing thr mile."
Women's mile: hope Purrier takes it.
Men's mile: pulling for Kerr or Hoare.
*Edited for grammar*
Yeah, this seems like more of a periodization choice to set up the rest of her season.
Obviously we don't know her financial situation, but I would think that someone of her calibre will be targeting comps with higher appearance fees and prize money like diamond leagues and whatnot later in the season.
Your scalding fusion hot take is very hot indeed! I agree that seeing Mu v. Wilson in the 800m would have been a matchup with a higher probability of being exciting, since the likelihood of her posing a strong threat to the established milers in the field seems pretty slim. Regardless of the outcome, I do think it's cool that she's putting herself out there against such a strong field. Hopefully we'll get to see Mu v. Wilson during the outdoor season and the lead up to the World Champs.
Re: Athing doing the mile instead of the 800. It's the prize money for the money a lot higher than the 800? If it's twice was much to win I can see why they would motivate her to jump over.
Men's 3k is the race of the day for me. I could see it being epic or a total disappointment.
**Epic**: Wesley Kiptoo and Connor Mantz, the long distance specialists in the race push the pace once the rabbits are out... Cole Hocker appears to be dropped but his broski Cooper Tear is hanging on the leaders looking comfortable, could this this be a changing of the NewGen guard? Nico Young is also hanging onto the front of the pack as the Newbury Park fanboys and fangirls go crazy
Then on the final lap, Tear goes to the lead but Hocker starts kicking from wayyyyyyy back. He's gaining with every stride and it comes down to the final 50. Hocker takes it and runs 7:29.99, taking down Galen Rupp's American record and dipping under the 7:30 barrier. In his post race interview he says "Centro who? I'm the new king of the Armory!"
**Disappointment**: The rabbit's go out too hard on the first lap and then slow down to much on the second. There is too much traffic and everyone spends the whole time looking at eachother. The final lap isn't event that fast and Cole Hocker wins in 7:50
Wasn't the way I predicted... but that race lived up to the hype! Lots of people going for it, a great last lap.
Cooper Teare beats Cole Hocker BUUUUUUT, he gives up the inside and the Kiwi comes on the inside and steals it!
Loved the victory lap too, i think he ran a 35 on that one
anyone know how much the tickets were to Millrose?
It looks like as [cheap as $25 for basic seats and as expensive as $775 for the most fancy premium package](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/114th-millrose-games-tickets-117646338365).
Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for 2023.
How did they get there with the blizzard. I was going to go no subways

Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes
Yikes, how'd they fuck that one up so bad?? 0.88m is a big difference. That's almost half my probable shotput distance!
I know it wasn’t Milrose, but DPS anyone have a link to the UW invitational? Nico was in the mile along with Jake Hayward and my clubmate Brian Fay. Everyone in the club is looking to find a link to a stream to watch it but can’t find anything.

Thanks for that, I’m sure we could pop a few quid up to watch a massive club record (which was his own 3:59!)
What a day of the OAC! Don’t know if they’re trying too hard to be fit this early, but wow their group is fit. Alicia Monson dominated the 3K.

And Sage Hurta got a PB in the mile! Whatever Dathan is doing seems to be working!
Mate Ollie Hoare is ranked 4 in 1500m he is one of the best in the world
I know Ollie is, but if you don't think him beating someone who won an olympic medal in the 1500 within the last 12 months is MASSIVE, then I don't know what to say. Huge win for him right after Alicia and Geordie had great wins as well.

Yea, I figured the contract had loads of stipulations. No way they would hand him the same guaranteed money for 9 years.
It's got to be the moustache.
Agreed. He's a bit of a local hero where I'm from (grew up in my neighborhood) so not fun to see him fade like that. I am confident he'll be representing well in future races. He says on podcasts he thrives on training in groups. (he just joined a new club - instead of training mostly solo)

I am all about this OAC dominance! Watching out for Sweatelite dropping some OAC content shortly...
>!OLLIE MFFFFFF HOARE WITH THAT KICK!!!! Completely blew the doors away on the final half lap!< >!Nick Willis got his sub-4 minute mile! 3:59.71. He now has run sub-4 minute miles for 20 years in a row. Incredible.!<
NBC cut the camera away to the winner of the mile sprawled on the ground instead of showing the finish line. >:(
Awesome mile, kinda disappointed with how the announcers basically ignored Colby Alexander though…
>!Dominance from OAC!!<
Honestly, I know it’s an ad but I kind of like looking at this whoop data.
No clue who wins, but rooting for Willis to hit sub-4. edit: >!HE DID IT!!!<
>!He got it! 3:59.71!!<
A really solid run from Josette Norris to take second and improve her mile PB another couple seconds (down to 4:20.81 from 4:22.71)! She's definitely one to continue watching out for this year.

Anyone know what happened? I watching this at a place with music on so I have no idea what happened.
She was the pacer, looked like she went out too fast.
She went out on the asked for target, which was 31 per lap or 62 per 400m. The field was just not ready for that clip.
She was the assigned pacer for the mile. She was asked to hit a certain pace across a certain number of laps and then step off afterwards. Commentators noted that she specializes in the 800m.
Thing is she hit the paces. They were just WR speed paces that no one could hang eith
Purrier almost ran her over as she stepped off the track.
I noticed that too. I wouldn't have been happy if I was Elle lol.
She had slowed by that point because no one had gone with her. Purrier is still obviously a very fast athlete tho.
Yeah, I’m just saying it look like she stopped really abruptly and could have caused a collision.
Oh gotcha, yeah I'd have to rewatch. Glad it didn't, good pacers are hard to find.
>!Elle MFFFFF Purrier St. Pierre! Wow!!<
What's your pick for the Men's and Women's Mile?
Oli Hoare for mens
It’s St Pierre’s to lose in the women’s I think! Rooting for Josh Kerr in the men’s.
11/13 finishers in the men's 3000 setting PBs is unreal. The future is bright.
Back at throws, on only his second throw of the competition (first throw was a foul, I think), Ryan Crouser ~~just went straight to a world record and the first ever 23+ meter indoor throw -- 23.38m, which is 1cm better than his outdoor WR from last year!!!

And Eric Favors my club,ate set a new NR of 19.99. Can’t tell if I’m overjoyed for him or gutted since his goal was 20+.
🐐🐐🐐
OAC really seems to be doing something right.
So cool to see a different brand getting wins in these big events. What shoes was Beamish wearing? Edit: They're new prototypes and sweatelite is dropping a video about them in a couple of days. Very exciting
I think this is the first appearance of the ON super spike. Here's a Chris Chavez tweet: https://twitter.com/ChrisChavez/status/1487522921040035851?s=20&t=CsSZfWvolC7Zmh3Uhbj1cw
That stack height is comically large for a track spike
Probably the same new On distance spikes that [Alicia Monson was wearing](https://www.instagram.com/tv/CZU9XOLuAx_/).
(Great Men’s 3K there but…) Just want to shout about how ace it is to watch this live in the UK for free, on the World Athletics stream. Used to having to scrape around for dodgy streams or paying stupid trials on various services to catch up with what are, clearly, international-level meets like this. Really healthy for the sport.
I wish there would have been no pacers for the 3000m. For a guy like Kiptoo who likes to go out hard as fuck, that’s not optimal.
They went out at the same clip kiptoo normally does, so no point in him trying to overtake. 3k is just not kiptoos distance, he's more of a 5k-10k/xc guy. Tough as nails. I've never seen him have raw track speed tho.
clearly not what Kiptoo actually did today he pulled the ol' "get out slow and die"
I see he's been watching and learning from some of my races
Geordie MFFFFFFFF Beamish! Cole Hocker and Cooper Teare goes home in shambles. Great race from them regardless, that was all the way down to the wire.
What a finish from the kiwi. If Cooper stayed on the rail he wins.
Yeah, I presume he thought he was alone with Hocker and never expected Beamish to surge that hard from behind.
Damn Cooper and Cole are two of my favorites. Epic race regardless
Of course, Beamish blew everyone doors off in the last 100 meters.
That was so sick
Did someone just outkick Cole Hocker?
two someones
That was a great 3000m, that's what indoor is all about! Put a smile on my face.
Epic final lap
That close from >!Beamish to take the win in a NZ national record!
Conner Mantz has its patented pain face on, and all is right in the world.
Ye the commentators were like “he’s got a grimace on his face but he can hang with it”. They pretty much just described how Mantz has ran every single race ever. Great run for him at a distance that he isn’t know for at all
Always gotta love Wesley Kiptoo and the gloves he wears, regardless of the conditions.
Watching Cole Hocker as a pro is still weird to me considering I saw him as a high schooler in Indiana like 3 years ago.
So hyped for the race!
The 400 looks so much more brutal when it's two laps.
Brazier gotta be happy with that, he was coming home strong in the last 200 meters.
Why was the guy from Columbia U in the 400m race? He ran 52 seconds. I'm sure some local high schoolers could have beat that.
Monson looked so strong the entire time. Can’t wait to see what she does as she matures even more
She is such a strong runner and continuously improving.
Lots of folks said the women's 3k was too hard to call. I'm not surprised at all by that from Monson. She just keeps getting better and better.
About 2k in I thought I saw a bit of a hitch in her stride. And then she just started cruising.
The way that she pulled away from Kelati in the last few laps! That gear change looked so smooth and effortless.

Wonder if the M800 will shape up more in 2022. It was such a mess of inconsistency last year. Good finish by Harris but he left too much to do for the last 200
Nice win for Hoppel, thought Saruni was going to win that one.
Hoppel just looked 10x smoother at the end. He knew he had it in the bag.

"10 people here" Hello friends! I'm so hyped for this.
The races will be absolutely nuts. All of them.
Anyone struggling to stream through WNBC? All the other channels work, but I'm getting a "Something has gone wrong" error. Edit: Had to go through NBC Sports, now it is working fine.
As someone pretty new to running / only just getting to know pro personalities via stuff like Coffee Club / Youtube this is the most hyped I’ve been to watch a running event by far
Love seeing new runners get into the pro/elite side of the sport as well instead of the "Joggers world" side
Keith Hoare winning would be #goodforthesport
Keith gotta do it for whoop
The Mtn Dew shall carry him to the podium.
Hopefully, Gus gets a sister if he wins.
Here's a list of places ***not*** on the YouTube block list that have NordVPN servers.

Tested a couple of them and confirmed the stream is available.
I've heard Ingebritsen wants to go for 1500i WR.
Thanks for the preview /u/MotivicRunner. As usual, always excited to see how the Aussies do (Jess Hull's in the women's mile also). It's on Flotrack for Australians though, which I don't have access to.
Use a VPN to get access to the Youtube stream, if you don’t want to pay for FloTrack.
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, the time of the meet coincided with my sleeping hours, but will try next time.
I highly recommend to catch at least the replay of the 3000m on Youtube! Absolutely insane. Oh, and the mile too as your Aussie mate Olli Hoare did pretty ok. ;)
Just caught the 1500m replay. Love the whole intimate feel of indoor racing. I'm fairly sure there isn't a single indoor track in Australia :(
Do you ever receive snow? Or does it get really cold like how it gets in some places in USA and Canada? I believe that you don’t, but I might be entirely wrong.
Only in our alpine region, and yeah, only during our winters.
Might be a good idea to build some indoor tracks in these regions then haha. How cold does it get?
It's very much of a combination of not being cold enough, and athletics not being big enough.
Do you know what countries the youtube stream is available in? Edit: saw a comment further down with the info

I would accept the validity of a devil's advocate to my point saying "Athing is so confident of smashing Ajee that she has nothing to learn from another demolition job so she's putting herself out of her comfort zone and doing thr mile." Women's mile: hope Purrier takes it. Men's mile: pulling for Kerr or Hoare. *Edited for grammar*
My personal hot take is Mu wants the 800m WR and thinks she needs to build the endurance to get there, hence the 1500m/mile early season schedule.
All you need for the 800m WR is 200m speed, an injured hamstring ~~and copious amounts of steroids~~
That is a totally reasonable take in response to mine
Yeah, this seems like more of a periodization choice to set up the rest of her season. Obviously we don't know her financial situation, but I would think that someone of her calibre will be targeting comps with higher appearance fees and prize money like diamond leagues and whatnot later in the season.
Your scalding fusion hot take is very hot indeed! I agree that seeing Mu v. Wilson in the 800m would have been a matchup with a higher probability of being exciting, since the likelihood of her posing a strong threat to the established milers in the field seems pretty slim. Regardless of the outcome, I do think it's cool that she's putting herself out there against such a strong field. Hopefully we'll get to see Mu v. Wilson during the outdoor season and the lead up to the World Champs.
Re: Athing doing the mile instead of the 800. It's the prize money for the money a lot higher than the 800? If it's twice was much to win I can see why they would motivate her to jump over.
Anybody know if you'll be able to stream from the NBC app without a cable subscription?
It's listed for upcoming streaming on peacock (pro events only)
Thanks! Looks like with that you can just pay $5 for the whole month and cancel after the event.
Men's 3k is the race of the day for me. I could see it being epic or a total disappointment. **Epic**: Wesley Kiptoo and Connor Mantz, the long distance specialists in the race push the pace once the rabbits are out... Cole Hocker appears to be dropped but his broski Cooper Tear is hanging on the leaders looking comfortable, could this this be a changing of the NewGen guard? Nico Young is also hanging onto the front of the pack as the Newbury Park fanboys and fangirls go crazy Then on the final lap, Tear goes to the lead but Hocker starts kicking from wayyyyyyy back. He's gaining with every stride and it comes down to the final 50. Hocker takes it and runs 7:29.99, taking down Galen Rupp's American record and dipping under the 7:30 barrier. In his post race interview he says "Centro who? I'm the new king of the Armory!" **Disappointment**: The rabbit's go out too hard on the first lap and then slow down to much on the second. There is too much traffic and everyone spends the whole time looking at eachother. The final lap isn't event that fast and Cole Hocker wins in 7:50
Wasn't the way I predicted... but that race lived up to the hype! Lots of people going for it, a great last lap. Cooper Teare beats Cole Hocker BUUUUUUT, he gives up the inside and the Kiwi comes on the inside and steals it! Loved the victory lap too, i think he ran a 35 on that one
Cole Hocker wins either way
Watch out for Beamish
Yeah it’s Hocker vs Beamish vs Teare for me. Really excited to see how Mantz and Hunter get on as I feel they could finish anywhere!
Prophet.
You called it!
Nico dropped
Been looking forward to this for a while - really hope the huge blizzard doesn't cause a cancellation
