Why is everyone congratulating Bishop? She was seventh, or fifth if you don't count Semenya or Niyonsaba.
They got Bishop confused with Sharp. All those blonde women look the same.

No they don't. Bishop is very attractive, sharp not so much.
is it just me or did she look choppy and well very manly and identical to LaShawn Merrit? someone needs compare the last 60m of caster and a 400m where merrit is winning and not rigging hard...its the same ugly short choppy stride
Thank you for all of the play-by-play updates Rojo. Much appreciated!
Men's 400
2015 World champion Wayde van Niekerk of South Africa was victorious in his first race on the Diamond League circuit this year as he pulled away from Botswana’s Isaac Makwala over the final 100 to win in 44.19. Former Texas A&M sprinter Bralon Taplin of Grenada ran a nice final 100 as he stayed about 5 meters behind van Niekerk throughout and moved up to second from third as he ran 44.43. Makwala ended up third in 44.85.

Women's 5k is on the track. World record is 14:11.15. That's 68.09 per lap and you need to basically run 2:50 per 1k.
Temp 20 minutes ago was 64 degrees. 6 mph wind.
2:50 @ 1k
1000 m: 2:50.75

fubo tv must be on a slight delay as I'm still seeing the HJ. I have to say off the thread mid-race. Now it's women's javelin.
where is vent? he tried to argue and insult me over and over that merrit was going to run 43.5, and i said nope 44.2ish, and that van was going to be the one in WR shape by rio...rojo will van and james meet up before rio?
Only Ayana left with the rabbit.
2000 m: 5:41:61.
Roughly 4:35.5 @ 1600m
Ayana alone after 2400 m.
Ayana has a superb stride!

Makwala going backwards last 50 as usual ... but a solid 44.85 for 3rd. Much better than his 45.37 in Eugene a few days ago.
What the heck is going on with Rusheen McDonald!? 46.05 today, 46.82 in Eugene and 46.79 in Rabat. Terrible. This is a guy with a 43.93 PR (the crazy fast Beijing track, admittedly) but also had a 44.7 before that I believe.
How fast will Makwala go at La Chaux-de-Fonds this year? haha
Jeez they can't even find rabbits to make it past 2k.
The BBC commentators keep going on about how Ayana is far away the best mid-distance runner in the world, and how there is nobody who can challenge her.
