Evan Jager running Monaco next Friday

He ran the 8 flat in Paris, not Monaco.

That was Paris, not Monaco where he ran 8:00

My man-more periods, less commas

Anyway, I don't think there's any particular reason to think that this will be an exceptional year for him. He's run 2 races thus far, the first of which was terrible. Then he went into hiding and only emerged to dominate the US champs. I expect he'll end up in about the same shape he was in last year.

hey, not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but the race here Jager fell and still ran 8 flat was on july 4th a couple years back in Paris. cheers!

And in between races he will cure cancer and perfect nuclear fusion.

8 minutes went away on the stumble never to return.

Great runner, under raced , always rusty.

I bet his Olympic silver isn't rusty though

Not so sure about Centro running sub 3:30.... Seems like him and everyone else in NOP (coached by AlSal, so excluding Jenkins) have slowed down this year. Rowbury Rupp and him all seem much more human since their doctor was banned and they're under more scrutiny than ever.

How rusty was that last 500m in Sac-town?

Dude let me tell you, I seriously hope Jager wins. Of all the mzungu he's the only one whom the Africans seriously fear. With good reason. But he hasn't had the greatest season so far, not like when he ran 3 32.97 for 1500 before he got going at his main event.

After he wins we can get back to perving over HOTT black sprintergirls LOL! I remember you share my taste in this respect...

oops, my bad

Conseslus picked up an injury at the trials and seems to have aggravated it in Rabat. Probably won't make London. I think this is Evan's last chance at winingn a global title because although the current Kenyan team will be much weakened, there's bunch of sensational youngsters coming through the ranks who didn't make the team but may prove hard to beat in the future.

Birech has failed to regain his form from a couple of years ago which leaves El Bakali as the only one standing between him and gold at the Worlds. I'm a fan so I hope he doesn't let this very rare opportunity slip.

This new Moroccan...ugh...

No love lost between Kenyans and Moroccans... if there are no serious Kalenjin contenders this time, plenty of Kenyans would prefer Jager to win than any of their African brethren. I think I agree with El K, this is Jager's big chance. He'd better a. recognize this and b. get off his ass... I want to see 3 34 or better at Monaco if he's running 15.

After this Fancy Bears leak: a complete non-factor, far away from his PB.

Mark my words.
