There's a fussiness about Tsegay's racing that baffles me. Great close from Hailu.

Why do meet organisers keep entertaining ludicrous pacing requests from Tseguy? They went 60-63 first 2 laps (62-64 last 800).
If they went 63-62 it would set everyone up better - leaders through in 2:05 and could easily squeeze down and finish faster, while the rest of the field could string out and go through 2:06-2:08 and be perfectly set up for sub 4:00.
Instead we get the boring spectacle of Gudaf time trialing every race she does where the rest of the field isn't visible from 300m.
Would be better for Gudaf, better for other athletes, and make better viewing for fans.

Shericka has 11 of those, SCR has zero.

1500m time. Haven’t been this excited for a race in a long time.

Jackson is on track, nicely paced ftw.
Good showing by Davis, got fatigued by 150. I could see that being jet lag. Good for her👍

Totally agree. While it's understandable that viewers may have personal preferences for certain race dynamics, the organizers must consider the interests of a wider range of stakeholders. They need to strike a balance between accommodating individual requests and ensuring a fair and competitive environment. Their primary goal is to organize an event that provides equal opportunities for all athletes and creates an engaging experience for the audience as a whole, rather than catering to specific preferences of certain individuals or spectators.

Schooled? Hardly. A great opener.

Jakob made that look very easy, an absolute clinic even in a badly paced race.

Jakob gave them a chance with a slow mid race and still they couldn’t do anything. Very anti climactic. Yared, welcome to the BIG LEAGUES!!
