As for Chicago, what's the issue? it had only a women's WR (arguably the best of them all) in a non-descript event, An Asian record for men, who cares about them far away Asians, and history's 4th sub 2:06, how many time will they show us Hannouchi run these times, it's a bore. Not even one home run.
