I think Keter's out. World Athletics intends for 50% of Worlds qualifiers to hit the standard, and for the rest to get in on World Ranking. But in the steeple, basically everyone has his the standard (aside from area champions). So he needed the standard to go.

Puh-lease, there is no TUE allowed for testosterone for any purpose, secret or not. Could they be microdosing or otherwise doping illegally? Certainly, just like anyone else, but they aren't more likely doping simply due to the choice of being nonbinary.

Women's 100m is boring AF at the moment.

Hopefully Alfred is fit for Tokyo.

very positive race for SCR.

wow surprised at the slow times behind MJW.

slight headwind

Americans to win women’s 1500s in the diamond league:

Christin Wurth-Thomas (2010)

Morgan Uceny (2011 x 3, DL champion)

Jenny Simpson (2013, 2014 x2 and DL champion, 2015 x 2)

Shannon Rowbury (2016)

Shelby Houlihan (2018)

Nikki Hiltz (2025)

OMG!! Sha'Carri for the silver! But 11.08 won't impress many people.

It's MJWs season. SCR looked better but too little too late. Be lucky to make a final.

Melissa Jefferson-Wooden's coach is convicted doper Dennis Mitchell. I can't remember the last 100 that looked decided that early. She was running a different race from everyone else. Hopefully it's because she's working harder than all of them

It’s pretty cool that Shelly-Anne Fraser-Pryce is still competitive in the Diamond League. She was Olympic gold medalist 17 years ago!

Andrews, Kelati, and Schweizer for the US in the upcoming 5000m

Those Dennis Mitchell concoctions hitting different.

Apparently a WR attempt from Ngetich. That's bold – there'll be no one to push her.

Tanaka I beg you please have a drafting and pacing strategy today

Looks like these ladies mean bidness.

Based off his current ranking, 20 healthy athletes currently qualified would need to scratch for Keter to get in.

His new ranking would barely be better since it still weighs his other two results as well and his placing was ass here, so at least 15 athletes would need to scratch for him to get in.

Why people downvoting? What place do convicted dopers have in the sport?

14:00 pace is 67.2/400, 2:48/km. So a little faster is WR pace.

2:46.91 first k

Sadly, a huge place. That guy is just one of many examples, see Gatlin, Gay, Graham, Houlihan, ...
