Can Brown represent Canada in lieu of DeGrasse and break up the triumvirate of Bednarek, Kerley & Gardner?
Nope. 1, 2, 3, 4 in that order. Not wind legal.

24 hours - 16 hours = 8 hours
So, I get the point about circadian adjustments - to a point.

Some people would say that the push does not work well on 100m as you need maximum relaxation and not to be under pressure.
Hence why weed is an effective -- yet prohibited -- relaxation agent to block a case of bad nerves.

Give them all European bases they looked horrible, sheesh.
The average person can only adjust their internal clock by an incremental amount of 60 to 90 minutes a day, so no wonder many of today's contestants were running on vapours. There's a 16 hour time difference between Tokyo and Eugene where many of these athletes competed just days ago. There's another 8 hours between Eugene and Continental Europe which has to have had a very significant impact on performance. Whoever schedules these meets, get with the program. This is impossible.
Tho I did see some athletes who looked cooked, there were ALOT of great performances today, lots of meeting records, fast times.
SAFP saved an otherwise tepid meet.
I'm happy for Fraser-Pryce PB and good luck for Thompson in the next meetings:

Jakob easily in 7:33 but the time is disappointing.
I'm not sure if it was easy for him because he lost the speed before the last 800m and was joined by Aregawi:

It's not Arabic. It's Kung Fu Kenny.

Easily? What race did you watch?
Aregawi had that race won - just wasn’t patient enough.

You are completely right : Is wasn´t easy at all for Jakob today. I will copy something I posted in another thread:
" Jakob had a total kollaps after Tokyo. Couldn´t train normally and only in the week up to DL Eugene he managed to do some race related training.
He said it was heavy in Eugene and today he stated he had to dig hard.
It was difficult to close the gap up to McSweyn partly because of the strong, cold (only 17 degrees) wind so hereafter he just tried to survive the last laps.
If you rewatch the race you will see he is unusual exhausted and completely pale in his face after the finish line.
Jakob´s luck was that the other runners who have also been travelling and competed after Tokyo were even more exhausted.
Jacob Kiplimo, Paul Chelimo and Girma possible realized that in time to withdraw from this race.
The athletes are humans not machines."

Here is a video of Ethiopian training concentration from February 2021. Where questioned both Barega and Edriss complained about the lack of competitions and said that training alone is not sufficient.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niHSxtpejJcIf not how do you explain this massive fall of form of a lot of runners.
Ingerbrigsten is lucky, because he almost coved by his country and family.
Furthermore he competed in European indoor meeting and the European Championship in Mars 2021.
