Steeple coming up, could we see four under 9.06 for the first time since Worlds?
Lol, you come up with the most random stats, Aussiestatman
Here's another: 400 soon, three sub 44; possible? First time since last Olympics and third time ever.
are there any running events left?
Beijing 15, Rio 16 with James, Merrit, van Niekerk?
Tokyo looks promising
- Gardiner
- Kerley
- Norman
I wonder how the Gregsons feel about leaving Nike for Puma now.

Coburn never really in it. Couldn't bridge the gap.
9:08 not a terrible opener and still good enough to make the USA team.
Your move Frerichs and that LuLu model person.
Well yeah, obviously she will make the team barring a fall so bad that she can't finish. Going to need some good peaking/luck to medal though.
M 400 now, W 100 next, W 3000, M SC

Emma at 9:08. Good result, peak not now but at Olympics.
Yes, though looks like Kenyan women are a bit rejuvenated (Kiyeng fall aside). Put Chepkoech in the mix and might take sub-9 to medal.
Abebe cuts nearly 50 seconds off her SB, and brings her PB from 9:25 down to 9:02... With her Kiyeng, Jeruto, Javi, and Chepkoech Emma is going to have her hands full.

and one more: in the 3000 flat later; can Chelangat run 8.32 low?

I think she peaked when she won worlds. Won't run any faster. Frehrichs too.

No surprise about the Ethiopian, 11th at Worlds in 2019 as an 18yo
Rowden acquitted himself nicely.
Rowden 1:44.6 SB isn't bad, but kind of a weak sauce finish to be honest. That's the smartest I've ever seen Kinyamal ever race, which is dangerous because he has good talent.
1:43.91
will we see faster in oregon tonight?
Tuka and Rotich quietly proving their form as well.

Coburn pred in the 800, 1500, and 3k since 2020, setting her up nicely for this year. 6 seconds off her lifetime best in her first steeple since 2019 worlds is a good result, I think a pr isn't unlikely
They'll still be doing the same training with the same groups as they were doing when with Nike.
Kinyamal looked lethal between 6 and 700. Webb out of it today.

Burgin the best british 800m runner atm?
Kinyamal had some serious reserves left, a strong move in the second lane in the last curve. And then that determined cut right in front of Rowden. Poor lad had no chance getting out of that box.
Barshim is looking fantastic

Won WC in 9:02.58; silver in WC in 2019 in 9:02.35. Already ran faster.
Frerichs silver in WC in 9:03.77; 2018 AR in 9:00.85. Already ran faster.
