I think David posted a gif like over a room on fire. There's just a lot of new taking place nowadays. A lot of off the track stuff. We've got some results to pour over from this past weekend at, you know, some of the college conference championships

the continental tour made a stop in Nairobi. Then we've got some other big meets coming up. So lots to unpack. Let's, where do you want to start off Kyle? What's the first topic you would love to tell what's

grinding your gears nowadays? Wait, can we can we start that that Chris is a gif guy, not a gif guy? I've known you all these years and I never knew. I'm also a gyro guy. Let's start. Let's start the pot over. You can't tell

people that. Well, let's let's start. It's, I know at this point, it's been a little while, but Kenya and there were some really great results down in Nairobi. You know, I think we saw Mary Mora come out, run 158. She had like kind of a quiet indoor season. And I hate calling like two flat kind of quiet, but it was relatively quiet in that regard.

Do you do it some controversy around this, you know, the president of Kenya tried to land a helicopter and like the warm up area and tense for flying everywhere. Do you say video?

Yeah, apparently one athlete like got a severe cut on their face or something like that. Luckily, no one else was hurt, but yeah, kind of a crazy move. I mean, I'm glad that the president of a nation is attending a track meet, but you can make a little bit less of an entrance.

Does, does Hayward Field have a helipad? How did Mac was there when Obama visited back in 2016?

It's no, I wasn't there. That was before he went, he went in 2008, but there should be a helipad on top of the tower. I've never seen that high. That's like the highest point in Eugene. You're not able to get on that roof easily to check it out and you can't get much higher. So neither of us. So that's okay.

Well, so, you know, I think before this race or this meat, the Shelley and Frazier price was supposed to run on all the posters. And she was in Kenya, something that I sent Mac was really cool. It was like a video of her pre-meat day. We saw everything. You know, I might surprise you. She's quite explosive at running up pills.

But was in Kenya and up having to pull out last second due to an injury. And so the initial, you know, we're going to obviously touch on this later in the podcast as well. But the initial star was no longer there. And she carry was moved to the 200 essentially because Shelley and was there. And this is not because Shelley and is like scared to race. She carry. She is not.

It's because the meat directors are positioning this as a potential diamond league spot and the idea being if you have a really fast time in the hundred and really fast time the 200 really fast time 800 and the 15 like then maybe that says, you know, diamond league potential and having a really fast second place time in the hundred doesn't necessarily move the needle in the same way.

So she carries 200. I mean, Mac, how far out are we calling that celebration? I know you're you're drawing lines on the track for us.

Well, I mean, those lines are already drawn on the track because it's a traditional track that should be diamond league certified track. No, but it's still insane. She was celebrating like, you know, 20, 30 meters out and had that race one. I think 50 meters in. So, uh, 20207.

Yeah, just winning convincingly. And, you know, I think it's actually kind of well that she's forced to run these twos and, you know, kind of building that strength for later in the year. And

her twos have progressed really well this year. Do you think people are promising? Do you think people overrate the conversion of celebrations? It's like, you're in 2020, you know, no celebration. That's 213.

No, I don't know if your legs are still moving. No, it's ridiculous. I mean, you're you're pretty relaxed at that point when you're celebrating. You're still moving pretty quickly. So, but people like

they're

the subtraction that people are using is like, I think, pretty ridiculous.

How do you feel about the outrage kind of towards the celebrations? Like I saw a lot of that online where it was sort of like, oh, that would have been a PR for

Shakiri Hatchee, run through the line. And, you know, my whole thing is like, she's going to run fast when it matters. And, you know, the PR is going to come. I don't think there's

necessarily any athlete out there who's

pissed that they didn't run a PR there. I guess you take advantage of the altitude a little bit. But I just felt like there was just so much. I get it when
