In 2019 you can expect multiple world records to be challenged and broken. I can see the 400mh beeing beaten by samba or Benjamin (Warholm as a joker), i see the long jump beeing beaten by Echevarria, the 800m beaten by Korir and the pole vault by Duplantis. The 5000m and 400m will most likely be wery strong also with Norman, Gardiner and Niekerk and Barega in the 5000m.
Nope, no records in 2019.
They can back the fukk away from Bekele's WRs because nobody is getting them. I wish I could get the a petition for the IAAF to close the NOP.

While I agree that there is an opportunity for many of those events to be very competitive and fast next year, I seriously doubt that we'll ever see Barega run as fast. I think that race was similar to the 2012 Paris 5000, a flash in the pan, not a sign of things to come.

That is true. Barega was literally a flash in the pan. This years race won't be repeated. Every Dawg has it's day, and Barega has barked already. He has going to be spanked routinely by Ingebregstein next year in races no faster then 13 minutes.

Definitely possible.

Unlikely. Echevarria is good but Carl Lewis tried for years to break a weaker record and he was the greatest athlete of the last half century.

Possible but I think he still needs improvement.

Very unlikely. Maybe indoors. Outdoors, no chance.

WVN tore his ACL, didn’t he? He’s finished.
Gardener has no chance.
Norman probably has no chance. Watts was a flash in the pan and he ran faster ~25 years ago.
Barega needed Kejelcha’s pacing. He can’t beat the record on his own.
