The 1000 is an odd distance. One might think since it’s closer in distance to 800 than 1500 that it benefits the 800 men, but the reality is the opposite. Most pure 800 guys are scared to death of the 1000 so the advantage normally goes to the 1500 men and you saw that this evening in Monaco as 1500 world champ Jake Wightman got the win in a meet record 2:13.88 (#9 all-time) while Olympic and world 800 champ Emmanuel Korir finished last in 2:18.19.
Wightman at the finish
Erik Sowinski rabbitted this one out through 600 (51.0 and 1:17.7) before Canadian World Championships 800 bronze medallist Marco Arop took over as a 2nd rabbit/racer. Arop promised to keep things fast and then try to finish and that’s what he did as hit 800 in 1:45.46 and when he did he had 15 meters on Wightman (1:47.2), who had 15 meters on the rest of the field. Arop started to tire and Wightman came by him with about 25 meters to go as Arop held on for second in a national record 2:14.35.
American Clayton Murphy was best of the rest as he went from 10th at 800 (1:49.6) to third at the finish (2:15.73), just ahead of two-time Commonwealth Games 800 champ Wyclife Kinyamal (2:15.78). American teen Hobbs Kessler made his European Diamond League debut and finished 8th in 2:16.46.
If you are wondering what a good 1k time is, a messagebaord poster has found some equivalents on the WA scoring tables.
Wightman 2.13.88 ~= 800 1.43.95 = 1500 3.32.77
Murphy 2.15.73 = 1.45.35 = 3.35.87
Hobbs 2:16.46 ~= 1.45.92 = 3.37.11

Noah Lyles made it look easy. 19.46 to Knighton's 19.84. Wonder if Rojo still thinks @LylesNoah won't win an Olympic gold. https://t.co/VcsqiOKLuV pic.twitter.com/GLquJTbDPF

Looked like there might have been a second set of pacing lights as well.
Fisher out in 3:58.6, closed in 4:00.4

Fisher will eventually be the undisputed best American distance runner of all time. The work continues and he continues to make great progress. Just needs to stay away from the rail and collect some medals.

Huge runs for MacLean and Cranny under 3:59 in PBs to win the non-WR race. Cranny made a HUGE move at the bell and held it.
What’s there to say about Faith. The best ever, hope she takes down the dubious Jama Aden Dibaba mark. Pacemaking was good, though a touch fast so less drafting than there could’ve been. I was thinking Tsegay would’ve loved how the pace was set.

Women’s 400 hurdles: Clayton edges Russell in a battle of Jamaicans
There was no Sydney McLaughlin, Femke Bol, or Dalilah Muhammad in this race (though McLaughlin was shown watching in the stands), so there were no crazy fast times, but the fans were treated to a nice battle between Jamaicans Rushell Clayton and Janieve Russell. At the Commonwealth Games on Saturday, Russell took the win as Clayton missed the podium in 4th, but Clayton got a measure of revenge today by holding off a hard-charging Russell and taking the win in a pb of 53.33.
