Wheating is listed to run the 1500m in both Monaco (http://www.diamondleague-monaco.com/Global/Monaco/MONACO%20ENTRY%20LIST%2014.07.10.pdf) and Morocco (http://www.meetingdetanger.ma/english/program.cfm?event=1500m). I doubt that he would run in both.
When i go to the site, all the links are grayed out. There are no start lists up.
Don't you have to sit out for a couple of years after representing 1 country internationally?

Wheating said on flotrack he's running Monaco
So? What's wrong here? Monaco is in Morocco, right? Or is Morocco in Monaco? One or the other is correct.
What's in Kelly Monaco?
back to my original question, I doubt Wheating is running two high level 1500's within 4 days, so which will it be?
What time is the meet today?
I think it started 5:30pm Tangier time (12:30 eastern) and it goes til 8pm. I dont see it on any BBC channel, Eurosport, Rai sport, Dubai sport, or al jazeera sport.
We've got results links up on the homepage. I believe the 1500m is at 2:20 pm eastern.
84-degrees, 18mph winds
100m was won in 10.18... gonna be a slow day for racing.
i think the 1500m is at 3:20 eastern. The 100s just finished and they are scheduled to be an hour earlier than the 1500
You are correct. Tangiers is 5 hours ahead of EDST.
Aj should never be put in the same level as Lagat.
wheating ftw 333.7

I had a good laugh at this thread. I'm pretty sure that the Oregon guys know Morocco from Monaco being that the meet Organizer in Moroocca is El Guerrouj. Most of the Oregon guys know El Guerouj on a first name basis . . . .
Do they all call him "El"?
True story: A girlfriend of mine, who grew up in Eugene next to the University of Oregon, once excitedly told me that she had just signed up for a trip to Morocco. I said, "You've never been to Africa before, have you?" She said, "Morocco is in Africa?"

Why would you doubt it?

Anyone with this type of post (agenda) proves himself to be the pea-brain sized idiot we know he is.
Don't take things so seriously. If the runner was from another school, the comment would have been adjusted accordingly.

A teammate and I once looked at his Oregon Bio to see his high school to college progression, and it was revealed that he was a sociology major. Just sayin...... I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he got these two locations confused.
If that was the case then his agent is just as confused as he is entered in both.
