The studio is in Denver. IF you want commentating from guys who are in Rabat, get the gold package or change your IP address to Canada and watch the CBC stream for free.

I thought Brazier looked good in the 800. He tried to get out mid-pack but sort of ran up on someone and then two guys came wide and he ended up 3rd to last. So he had to run some extra ground but was moving up at the end.

But Amos is crushing it right now. He was the only one to go with the rabbit at 400.

Qual.

Thanks. They make it seem like they are there by saying "here in Morocco."

Another solid run by Brazier in a Diamond League.

Good experience. He got boxed and was behind it the whole race but held his own. Still would like to see him run one unrabbit race before Worlds but I'm not sure where you find those.

Krause and Jeruto - who have both run 9:15 this year - are the only two in this field who have broken 9:20. 3:06 first 1km.

Women at 3:06 through 1K in the 3000 steeple. Garcia in 5th

Garcia looking awful on the hurdles again.

upset!

All the way to Morocco to get stomped by a third rate field?

Track and Field Maniac comes in clutch again with the live stream on Youtube. It has worked for the last 2 Diamond League meets. Downfall, I don't think the commentary is in English, but I'll take it. If anyone finds a free English commentary stream, post here.

This stream is amazing

Garcia shat the bed on that one.

Stephanie Garcia gets blown off the track.

not sure how this is an upset, Krause was #2 in the field in terms of both PB and SB (.35 behind in both), and she was easily the most accomplished internationally with her medal from Beijing.

Krause is very good in tactical races. Nice finish.

Hopefully all thought of having Ferguson Rotich on the team ends here and they take Michael Saruni.

De Grasse 1st 20.03, Webb 2nd 20.18

Another terrible DL sprint race.

I must say, I am really impressed with Webb. That was a good run around the bend, and he appeared to shut down early a little bit. If he keeps it up, he is going to be a problem at 200m

I wasn't impressed Degrasse. He pulled it out in the last 40 to 30 meters, but still not that impressed with him. Maybe he is keeping it in the tank.

man Kerley looks ragged...can't tell if that's just how he looks running the 200, or if he is tired.

Women's 1500m about to start.
