We know it's a holiday weekend in the US this weekend but you need to clear your calendars and make sure you have 14 minutes to watch tv at 4:13 pm ET on Saturday and then four minutes free at 5:52 pm ET as you absolutely must watch the men's 5000 and men's mile at the 2017 Pre Classic as they are RIDICULOUSLY good.
Some of the events at the 2017 Pre Classic are without a doubt better than the 2017 Rio Olympic finals. We're so excited we even preview the men's pole vault and women's 200 but we also will see a loaded women's 1500 with Faith Kipyegon, Laura Muir and Jenny Simpson and possibly the youngest sub-4 mile in history.
Joan Benoit Samuelson night at Pre looks fantastic as a couple of world record holders (Ruth Jebet and Genzebe Dibaba) will be racing as will a couple of American record holder (Emma Coburn and Molly Huddle). Might some WRs and ARs fall?
Field includes Elaine Thompson, Dafne Schippers, Allyson Felix, Shaunae Miller-Uibo, and Tori Bowie.
Considering Ingebrigsten and his two older brothers are all elite milers, you may be shocked to know neither of their parents have any background in athletics. But that didn't stop their dad from learning everything he could so he could coach them.
