    mo farah is in the NON diamond league 2 mile, which appears to be the weakest running event.

    why is it every time there is a meet in England they give mo farah who has proved he is capable of beating anyone at 5/10k the last 2 years? are other top people unwilling to race farah in England, does farah want a certain win in front of his countryman and request no person with a fighting chance be in the race?

    i mean in glasgow there was a good 5k and he was in a 2 mile against guys that could not even get in the 5k and when he pulled out they just cancelled the 2 mile thats how bad the 2 mile was

    the mile in birmingham looks good if i were farah after looking at the 2 mile competition, i would ask the meet director can i run the 1 mile instead against kiprop and company?

    its not too late maybe he will, and being he has 3:28.81 for 1500 credentials and its in his country and he is a draw, i think they will let him switch to the mile.

    I think if he wanted to be in the mile, he'd be there already.

    Also, why are they running a 600m race?

    I assume the RD is record chasing. Have not looked at line up. Deal: offer X prize a pacer(s) to a NR Area Record what ever and take tactics out by having no real threat in a timetrial type race and the agent lightens up on the star's appearance fee, gets some lanes for other clients blah blah business of athletics business...

    David Rudisha and a solid field with 600 specialist Sowinski. What's the Euro Area record for 600?
