If Lewandowski medals, he’ll beat Jakob. It’s the Law of Lewandowski.

Did Lewandowski medal in Euro 2018 in Berlin?

Weightman big performance. Is Crammer not her coach any more? He didn't say too much about it, though maybe that's him being an impartial commentator. Because it's worth a 3:58 a nice PB for her 1500/mile.

What was DeBues-Stafford's last lap? She was in second last (11th) at the start of the last lap but closed like a demon. Thought she was dead and spat out the back after she gave up the lead.

Tuka is really getting into form!!

I see it this way in Doha

1) Tuka

2) Amos

3) Bosse

Bosse?!? He's got some work to do. Wasn't this his first race of the year?

That's what Bosse did during the last WCs. He was coming back from injury and no one suspected he was going to win it all.

Too much talent there to ignore.

Looked like 8 or 9 with PBs in that W Mile. The rest with SBs, even the last place runner in 12th! AlSal takes Top 2 places with Weightman in 2nd.

Wow! What an effort! Great tribute to Gabe and honors the Monaco 1500/mile tradition!

Gatlin over lyles, 9.92

Rojo, Kejelcha just set the indoor Mile record this year.

I don't care about indoor records. Outright records. I guess by that logic though I shouldn't care about this as the 1500 marks are clearly better.

Would you also consider Goony Golf records inferior to records at the 4 major championships?

Rip the 100/200 double for Lyles.

9.92 for 2nd to Gatlin’s 9.91

1. Shouldn't you care about what the IAAF cares about?

2. You sure cared a lot about this indoor record *

enough to write a standalone article about it

Such a disappointment, a sprint finish this fantastic meet, why not a 10 k or something????

It ends with a 3k steeple

What’s wrong with having a sprint race last?

Everything under 3:55 is a farce so it's worth something.

Amos improves on his standing of all-time greats over 800m!!

All-Time 800m Best 2-Race Average

1. David Rudisha (KEN), 1:40.96

3. Nigel Amos (BOT), 1:41.81

4. Sebastian Coe (ENG), 1:42.03

Coe and Amos have both run 1:41.73

Impressive.

What does Dibaba's doped 3:50 equate to?

~4;08

Weightman has nothing to do with NOP. But her improvement (from 4:00 1500 and 15 something 5k to 4:17 mile and 8:26 3k) is as if she had joined NOP...

Weightman's time converts to 3:58.52, Stafford 3:58.77
