Yeah, tooth ugg eels is fairly likely I think. However, she has run 29:56 for a road 10k this year so there was an indication she could be competitive in a race like this.
Shericka Jackson looked awful.
She only ran 9:10i last February.

Duck Duck Kerr not on 1500m start list w/ Jakob, Narve, Mills, Cheruiyot, etc.

idk 29:56 and 14:35 indicate 8:35 shape, and those races were early in the season. The 50 secs guy is a little goofy, like yeah the 3k is barely ran outdoors.

Rumor was that one of the big three was in BIG trouble. Looks like we know who it is.
yeah what type of trouble ^^
Here is what I don't get - if you are so injured/been injured to the point you are running 1.5 seconds slower over 200m, what are you doing out there? I don't see what benefit at all you are hoping to get out of that one.

Do we??? SAFP is still MIA and Thomspon Herah just got DFL in Eugene. Jackson at least won in Marrakech a couple weeks ago.

Goodness me, the Ethiopian who came second just knocked 50 odd seconds off her PB. Not dodgy at all! Another Ethidopian.
Little misleading. She hadn't run a 3000 in 2 years, but has a 14:44 5000 PR. Although that was itself a 50 second PR in the 5000 and she PR'd by about 1.5 mins in the 10000 this year too, so maybe.

It’s a non-DL race at a DL meeting: thus prize money is lower, there’re no points for DL final qualifying, and the field is typically mediocre
Wat. No. It's a DL event that counts towards the 5k standings

It was a DL-race. The Diamond 💎 icon temporarily disappeared from the event on the schedule yesterday, which probably explains your confusion, but it’s back now on the meet website/result, and you can see it’s included in the DL event allocation by meet:

Her whole career through last summer she was really mid-level. There’s a remarkable transformation during the fall and she is 2’ faster at 10K and 1’ at 5K. Highly, highly suspicious.

Perfect pacing thus far. 12:45 pace through 1k.

Come on Kejelcha. I hope this is his year.

Odd, I was going off the removal. Apologies. Big dogs taking the pace much more seriously than in LA. The heavy-hitters are all up there.

She ran 9:10 indoors in February. Yeah it's indoors but still...

Always does. Spoiler alert though, it is never Kejelcha's year.

He's got this. Sub 12.40 possible. He's holding back.

As fast that women's 3k was, this men's 5k could be special.
Meet has already produced a European record and Aussie record, I predict we get at least a Guatemalan record here.
Green lights is set for MR of 12:41.73... That is the goal and what the main lights are set for. 2nd set of lights (red) is for 13:05.
