Is Karsten running the 400H here? He must, I mean, it's Oslo!! Will we get to see where he's at?
Same for Jakob in the 3000. I imagine a regular day in the office and jogging 7:29 for the win for the home crowd.

No info yet, but Karsten will be there for sure, and Jakob may choose to run the Dream Mile or the 3000m.
The Ingebrigtsen' have been adamant about not going to Stockholm (3 days later) this year, but if that is for sporting reasons or purely financial negotiation tactics I do not know,

Not much talk on this site yet. Lists have been out 36 hours, Warholm v Dos Santos, Copello, and Barr. Jakob in the mile. 4 or 5 of the best 20 3000m runners in the world. Same for the 5000 for women: obiri v Kipkemboi v Gemechu v B.Chebet v Fantu Worku v Grovdal.

And the 3000 here:
https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=10678855#10682171Kate Grace posted today that she was headed to Oslo. She mentioned Emma Coburn was on the same flight but I don't think Emma is running Oslo. Not on any start list. Probably Switzerland?

Jakob has a sore throat and will not run the mile tomorrow says Gjert.

3k: Wouldn't hope for anything from Filip at this point. Kejelcholini all the way.
Mile: Lost interest after yesterday's news.
400H: Would be very disappointed with anything less than a WR.
Filip is usually fit in july/august. Always difficulties in may due to allergies.
I think it would require very poor pacing, bad conditions or a dawdling 1000 from 1400-2400 to have a 3k that slow. Though maybe that 53-high 400 points to the first. Kejelcha ran that incredible 10K at the Ethio Trials. Kimeli beat Simiyu by 3 seconds in a solo, front-run 13:02 at altitude. Simiyu just ran 12:55 narrowly losing to Kimeli.
I think these guys are in 7:25 shape and reasonably sharp. 7:27-7:29 highly possible.
I can't see Kate Grace winning, but that would be an awesome story.
The women's 5,000 is interesting, Obiri did lose at 5K, but she did beat the two in the field here and won the 10,000 right?
I will pick Simotwo to pip McSweyn in the mile with Jye Edwards fast-closing for 3rd.
Warholm world record of 46.71.
** simiyu losing to Jacob Kiplimo

I think Kejelcha can run 7:26 on a good day, but I’ve no reason to believe he’ll be time-trialing today. The next best in the field, Kimeli, probably maxes out at 7:29. I say they go through 2k in a “disappointing” 5:03, then it slows for 600 m, and then Kejelcha runs 53.xx for 7:31.0.

Interesting that would be a bit of a shot at Kimeli's speed. He's run 12:51 for 5,000 (not ideally placed I think he went through 3,000 in 7:36ish as Cheptegei began to separate) which generally would indicate faster potential. That being said I've never seen him run underdistance and he's run well in some 10,000s, so maybe he is a true 5/10K guy.
It is a warm and nice evening here in Oslo.
5,000 spectators will be allowed to attend.
Norwegian broadcasting has already started.
Nice to have Bislett back
Simotwo is the danger man. We're going to look at Hocker (and Centro) a bit differently soon.

Only 7:26? Kejelcha ran 7:28.00 three years ago in Gothenburg with a huge last 800. Second place was way back, something like 7:42. I would love to see him time trial a 7:25 today and drag Kimeli to a quick time. Certainly I would expect the winner to be under 7:30 but I guess we’ll see.
