Thanks, I don’t have much time these days… a business and young children… But I try to post as much as I can

I was in the Stadium in Oslo last night to see Jess in action and needless to say she delivered. The stadium announcer introduced her with "she used to be world no.1, but now she isn't", which can't exactly have been a confidence booster, but she came in 3rd, in the unusual(at least in Europe) Mile-distance race.

I can't be sure because I was on other side of the stadium. but I think she let loose about 300m before the finish line, and by the end of the race she had a wet patch on her shorts and the back of her legs were fully wet. Afterwards she hung around for a while chatting with teammates and recorded a lengthy interview which will probably turn up on Instagram somewhere(I doubt that shows her lower half though). As we've discussed I guess accidents like this are just part of the job for a world class middle distance runner, but it's still pretty amazing to see someone whose legs are covered in pee casually standing around chatting surrounded by reporters.

I was hopeful of some action too during the other non-sprint women's race, and there was. Emily Infeld(USA) peed herself during the penultimate lap of the 3000m, this time there was just a wet patch to see.

That's so cool that you could go, and surprised that you could see it so clearly in-person! I couldn't find good photos or videos of the event, but did see an after pic for Hull here and also a screenshot from a reel that you can kind of tell for Infeld - a wet patch and a glistening on her leg.

Given the lack of pics, thought I'd share some other pics from the past that I'm not sure if they made it here or not.

This might be delusional of me, but the screenshot included is from a 5000m where I noticed from a different pic that the wet stains were darker than usual and there was no typical riding up from the briefs and part of me wonders if she messed herself a little. But I'm sure it's just wishful thinking.

Jessica Hull is running 5000m right now at Diamond League Stockholm
It's raining there though, which might mean less visibility of certain things we're looking for...

[vincp40]

Finished 5th in 14.44.24, a season's best for her. No close up shots after finish in the live tv footage that I saw.

[vincp40]

Next week, 21 July Jessica will run the mile again at the Diamond League in Monaco, of all places

[vincp40]

2 hours to go till the mile run with Jessica in Monaco

[vincp40]

Oh my. Kipyegon with a smashing new world record of 4:07.64... leaving a huge gap to all the others, but still all of them had season's best or personal best.
Jessica Hull 5th in 4:15.34, almost 3 sec. better than her previous personal best.
As for camera footage... all attention to the winner of course, during and after the race. Just a short glimpse of Jessica congratulating Kipyegon, which didn't show if she had wet.
Her pants looked great though before the start, a different green that maybe could have shown wetness better.

But who knows somewhere some better footage shows up

World Athletics Championchips Budapest 23 - new round, new chances
https://worldathletics.org/competiti...st23/timetable

Jessica Hull starts tomorrow 19 Aug 2023 with her first 1500 metres - Heat 4, 13:48 CET

[vincp40]

Oh wait, times in the startlists are CET. Local time as in the timetable is an hour later, CEST. So the 1500 Heat 4 with Jessica Hull starts at 14:48, 70 minutes from now.

[vincp40]

Hassan of course easily through her heat. She owns it... letting the others run in the first 2 laps, following in last position... and then catch up and win.

As a Dutchman I say: we got Hull for the wetting, Hassan for the winning

[vincp40]

Okay. Maybe I just saw what I wanted to see, but I think Jessica delivered More darkness between her legs by the end of the race than at the beginning.
All in best view here on my big TV screen, live broadcast no streaming. And best camerawork, athletes in good view all of the race.
First time for me actually, this chance to see it all happening live in best screen conditions.

[vincp40]

Jessica ended up 17th in summary, qualifying for the semi-final which is tomorrow at 17:05 CEST.
I won't be home then though, visiting my parents at that time. Little chance that I can steer TV watching towards Eurosport, a channel they don't usually watch.
