Seriously A Duck? SAFP runs 10.72 unofficially for the 100 win
Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce stomps the field in 10.72.
Alberto Stretti has some interesting pacing info on his webstie:http://www.albertostretti.org/

So it looks like they have the 2013 world #2 Alberto Rop acting as the final rabbit in the 5k?? Is that true? Wow. Now excuses. I mean I assume he's going to try race it but has agreed to push it after 3k? Anyone know??
I didn't even realize there was a 1k in the meet. What is the world junior record?? Who the hell is Ajee's agent? Thanks for getting the word out??
Glad to see the 3:57 pace in the wome'ns 1500. I really want to see a sub-4 for Simpson.
Smokin' run!

The Bump was before the race.
Looks like the 1000 was before the main program started.
Glad we didn't get excited about the world junior record attempt as it didn't happen.

And in the race that the most people cared about (per IAAF), Walter Dix 3rd in the 200 in 20.12. Not quite up there with the Jamaicans (19.87 and 19.93) yet, but getting it back together.
I started a different thread on Wilson's race:

We believe the world junior record was 2:35.4 according to wikipedia

As for the women's steeple which is on now. Chepkurui or Chemos - whoever beats the other (as long as they are top two) wins the $40,000 DL title.
Nice job by Chemos. Assefa took the lead right before the last water jump but Chemos came back on her after the last barrier to get the win and prove the fall in Moscow by Assefa didn't change the outcome.
Chemos won a nice $50,000.
BOLT 9.80! Rogers 2nd 9.90.
Yeah, it was a great run. She almost looked to be beaten by Assefa at one point but fought back brilliantly.
