Big late surge by Hoey to win in 1:42. Going out in 49 at USATFs was really a blunder, that race makes me think he wins easily if he opens in 50.5.
Hoppel DFL in 1:48, hope he's okay.
49.8-50.5 was the sweet spot. You saw even today, going out fast with no pacer (as today essentially was) really stings.
The lights were too fast for these conditions. Wanyonyi was almost 5m behind it. I think we'll see a rebound in Zurich but Hoey certainly makes it interesting.

No one was going to win that race easily, but he would have given himself a chance.

Agreed, at Worlds even Wanyoni is not going to be able to solo this thing from the front, he is no Rudisha...

1:42 in those conditions is no joke

Well he already solo'd it in Paris. Doing it again would be even more legendary.

Fun to see that Edwin Moses still holds the meeting record for the 400h

Not sure what the record is, but this year has to be a new U.S. record for American men winning Diamond Leagues races from 800m up.

Beauty of the race. Crash and burn in a one off, only chance with team spot on the line, then take some real scalps when it doesn't matter. Hopefully Hoey makes it. We've got a good team with a lot of possibilities. Hoeppel looked like he did early DL season but he's still got something there, just not today. Mabe in a cycle final prep 4 weeks out.

Dude he put 5m on Fisher in the space of like 15?! He won in Heusden against a considerably lower quality field. I don't know what winning that race in that fashion has to do with what happened tonight?
Well that race was ripe for a fit, rested athlete. Fisher with two USAs races, ramping back up to peak for Worlds and traveling to Switzerland was probably not going to be prime Fisher. Kimeli barely raced, no national meet, with one chance to get into a DL final maybe…

Keely out in 56
Yeah it was a weird 56 though. Because she started really evenly - didn't get out too hard at all, ran a great line (again) from the break to the 200m point, but maybe she accelerated too much around that curve because I swear there was a moment up the home straight she was looking at those blue lights and visually put the breaks on a bit - and still ran a low 56.
Combined with the weather, that's how I think we ended up a second off Silesia. But if 1.55.69 is an average run for her then it's hard to see how she is even being challenged in Tokyo.
Yeah, running a mid 1:55 in those conditions is a pretty solid effort from Hodgkinson.
Unless we get some sort of complete anomaly of a performance where an athlete like Duguma, Hunter-Bell, or Moraa run a 1.5-2s second PB, or it's a very slow, tactical race, I honestly don't see how anyone challenges her in Tokyo.
I don't think anyone's run a sub 1:56 since Paris last year and Hodgkinson's just casually banging out 1:54s and 1:55s on her return.

Ethiopia should dump Hagos off their 5000 team immediately. His last 200 is completely broken! Tefera has a clue at least:
The U.S. should dump Hoppel off their 800 team immediately! (JK.)

Anybody here a baseball fan? Hoey may be channeling the 2004 Red Sox!!

Times are gonna be horrid due to the conditions, but I'm interested to see whether Lyles can separate from Seville and Blake

The Letsrun/USA (read world) darling Grant Fisher is absolutely not clutch

Lyles loses again! Snatches 2nd at the end.

Seville destroys them.
North Americans running 9.8 at D tier meets fail to show up again

The mentality of Khan during this time is the most crazy thing for me. Imagine already knowing you’re going to get banned and still choosing to compete and get some NCAA glory. Dude was living for NCAA glory knowing he would lose it all but was probably just enjoying his last year before getting banned. Idk if I could run a year whiling knowing that the world was closing in on me and I will be banned.

Seville's start is sublime
