A last track competition will be organised in Hengelo on saturday.
Women's 10000m and 1000m
Men's 5000m
There will be a big duel Hassan vs Gemechu 10,000m, last chance for Hassan to gauge her fitness. The goal is supposed to be the European Record.
Women's 1000m, Kipyegon will try one last time to break the WR.
Men's 5000m, Kejelcha and McSweyn amongst others. McSweyn will go after Mottram's NR while Kejelcha is supposed to chase a PB ( guess the WR is not realistic for him)
Note : This makes me realise why McSweyn chose to be a pacer in Valencia in the last moment, so that he can perform in Hengelo!
LRC update: If what the pacer says is true, here are the relevant times they will be chasing.
The 1k WR is 2:28.98 (Svetlana Masterkova ).
The European 10,000 record is 30:01.09 (Paula Radcliffe).
For the 5000, Kejelcha's PB is 12:46.79 . Mottram's NR is 12:55.76 .
