Anyone know if there'll be a stream in Europe?

A quick Google search did not turn up anything, but I will keep looking. But I did find this site, that I had not known about:

which apparently streams just about all the athletics you could ever want. Will continue to look for the Mount SAC meet and post any findings here.

This is the stream for germany.

No Centro. 😣

Centro running the 800 the following week @ SoundRunning's Track Meet . . . as are most other BTC Babes/Bros who are not running Golden Games.

This is the stream for germany.

"Due to legal restrictions, this content is only available in Germany" So much for EU solidarity. Looking for a stream to Spain, or one I can hack. Don't have a VPN.

Which meet is this? Aren’t a bunch of these people scheduled to run in Eugene?

Soundrunning Trackmeet a week later.

The link just gives me an error page??

Me too...did a little more searching and found "start lists coming soon".

Boneheaded take.

Guess we’ll see.

A shame Muir is running the 800 rather than the 1500. I'd like to see her throw down with GDS and Purrier

Weird that Capriotti is still using his Nike email address.

Is Ben Flanagan competing for the US or Canada? Always thought he was Canadian but maybe he switched his allegiance?

NBC coverage begins 1:30pm PDT . . . you'll see the sprints & hurdles . . . but distance races in evening . . . nbc will have live stream presumably covering the entire meet.

Brazier vs Hoppel vs Murphy in 800 likely highest quality race of meet w/3 possible/likely Oly Games finalists.

However, must-watch for me is W1500 featuring Purrier vs GDS . . . 2 expected Oly Games finalists . . . both sub-15/5k w/lethal kicks . . . should be Elle's first sub-4 . . .

And, of course, what will we get from Jenny?

Purrier is 100% capable of sub 4 but I don't think this will be the race she does it in. The way it would happen would be if someone other than the big 2 pushes the pace after the pacer drops.

The race is set to be paced to 4:04 (O standard), aka 2:10. That means they'll need to either maintain 65s pace after the pacer drops and drop a sub 60 last 400, or they'll need to wind it up after the pacer drops to run it more even. I think I've seen almost every race of GDS since her breakout year and I don't think I've ever seen her front run a race. That means if Purrier wants sub 4 then it is on Purrier to maintain/push the pace but that would leave her exposed big time to have GDS sit on her.

I think more likely is they go through in 2:10 with the pacer but that penultimate lap slows to a 66-67 before those two wind it up with a big last 400. Whoever gets better positioning going into last lap probably takes it.

Tbh if I'm Mark Coogan I'm saying don't worry about time, this is an opportunity to practice a tactical duel against a potential finalist/medal competitor. Just win at all costs.

People forget this but one tactic is to, you know, make it faster.

Seems reasonable for an athlete with superior 5K chops like Purrier to try and run Stafford's legs off over the last 600 meters as, like you said, she's clearly more comfortable waiting until the last 200. If you let it sag to 67 and give her a chance to gather herself you've missed an opportunity.

i think/i hope these races will go fast.

so many of these dudes have been in hiding long before covid. tell me they wont race for the first time in 3 years and go for a little hobbyjog

Agree, the wild card being wind...wind guarantees a tactical affair 99/100

I'm interested to see how Molly Huddle does in the 5k since she dropped out of the last race she did.

I'm also surprised Shelby isn't racing? I mean she might be, but she hasn't raced in a long time. She should get at least one race in before the olympic trials.

Simpson doesn't seem to be listed under Women's 5,000 any more.

Start lists were taken down almost immediately after going up on Monday but are back up now:
