Those 1500m splits make no sense. 56 pace, drop off to 57 pace, then pick it up to 55 pace on the third lap (lol yeah that's gonna happen), and then finish at 56 pace again.

1500 up now, I hope they go under 3:30, but I say Managoi wins in 3:31

i don't think centro is of much interest in this race even if in rio shape ( which he isn't )
the big news according to website is that ramzi-2 is entered !!!
http://tinyurl.com/y992n32f
he ran 3'31 in brutally windy stockholm off poor pacing & making mistake of staying behind iguana for too long & got slaughtered by Timmy ( who is in WR shape )
in 0 wind & fast pacing to bell he couda gone ~ 3'27
he is hugely aggressive runner like ramzi-1 & this time he won't hang behind guy like iguana who wasn't in shape but probably beforehand made false promise to ramzi-2 that he coud pace him to 2'33+ to bell which ramzi-2 believed but was wrong to do so in retrospect as iguana in rubbish shape
if weather is temperate & 0 wind ( which doesn't happen often in lausanne which is generally windy ), i expect ramzi-2 to obliterate the field any which way, fast or slow to the bell
if it's fast to bell he shoud go hugely below 3'30
i reckon his current shape is
~ 1'42-low/mid / 3'27-mid
the kenyans had better get their act together & break the 1500wr this year for brief immortality, because next year when this guy is "fully geared up", i expect him to take a serious shot at
~ 1'41-flat
3'25-flat/low

Living in lala land as usual.

Actually seems like a pretty good result for Centro for right now.

re: Gernandam

Epic fail, Sharika Nelvis wins in 12.53 but they gave the win to Castlin, who finished 5th in 12.61. The photo finish clearly shows lane 6 in first but then the result on the photo says completly wrong results. The Diamond League website says Nelvis won like she did, but the officials gave the flowers to Castlin. WTF?
