Every field is stacked, though some of the big guns are missing (Jakob in the 1500, Mu, Moora and Keely in the 800, and Pichardo in the triple jump)
The 1500 has Hoare vs Tim, the shot has everybody, the women’s 100 has the Jamaicans, Lyles vs Norman in the 200.
And Muir is in the loaded 3000m it’ll be really interesting to see what she can do in a season where she’s been doing a lot of 800s

Women's 100m, men's shot and 200m will be the best.

Steeple looks tasty:
el bakkali, Girma, wale, kipruto

Kerr makes his return after skipping Euros.

The womens 3k for the US is extremely weak. Where is everyone? Hope Monsoon holds down the fort

Monsoon is sure to blow down the fort.

I want to see:
- Cheruiyot make it 6 consecutive seasons running sub-3:30, ideally pushing or pulling Hoare under that barrier for the first time as well
- Femke Bol break 52 for the first time, becoming the 3rd in history to do so (her 52.03 PB from Tokyo already makes her #3 all time)
- An XX athlete defeat Niyonsaba in her return in the women’s 3k; also would like to see Monson get pulled to a sub-8:30 (only Slaney, Simpson and Rowbury have broken 8:30 outdoors in U.S. history)
-El Bakkali and/or Girma target something historically fast in the steeple; they sit #10 and #12 respectively on the all time list, both with 7:58 PBs—for the record, 8 men have broken 7:57, 6 have broken 7:56 and 3 have broken 7:55
-Knighton run a little closer to that 19.49 clocking from April; If he ran the 2nd fastest time of his young career (19.68 or better), that would be satisfying

Hoare vs Tim rematch. Does Kerr crash the party and beat them both? If he's back and healthy, watch out ..dudes probably gonna run on hate!

OMG. Where is everyone? What a weak US field. Is this a joke?
I'm really not getting the outrage?
Monson is in it. Like what are people expecting. By my count there's just one relevant US woman not racing it since she's doing a Diamond League meet the following week.
Other top US 5k women beyond Monson: Cranny was in Monaco and is apparently in Brussels too doing the 5000 which is just 6 days after Lausanne - maybe hoping to go sub 14:30 for the first time which I would prioritize over a 3000 too. Schweizer is in a boot from a torn soleus. Infeld is done for the season and would be out of her depth in this field anyway. St Pierre done for the season and looked burnt out anyway. Like Kelati and Rogers are the only other top US track women this season who I don't know what they're doing and both would again be out of their depth vs an army of sub 8:30 women as they're both definitely 5-10k-half women rather than 15-5.
We're people expecting Shelby to overturn her ban or Shannon Rowbury to come back from pregnancy aged 38 in sub 8:35 shape?

I like that Knighton and Lyles are not afraid to race each other. Far cry from the past generation of sprinters.

I got excited when Hocker posted an Instagram video today thinking he was getting ready for the next Diamond league but I guess that’s not happening…

Smart. Good prize $, ranking points, counts as standard for worlds if you win. Looks like Infeld combining it with a vacation too.

Not seeing Infeld on the 10k start list. Also, she's in Hawaii and not in the Bahamas right now. Did you mean Emily Lipari?

Obviously Kessler not listed or in this one...Field in 13 and very deep so far.
For those interested ....couple guys we know in this 800M. I was only a week off..not my fault..LOL.

I want to see:
SAFP break 10.6
Cunningham break 13.00 in 110mh
Bol sub 52(might be tired from last week tho)
a sub 7:55 3k steeple
Chopra break 90m in the Javelin
Klaver sub 50 in 400m
100mh race, don't care who wins just want it to be fast
and as always, hope for a wr from Crouser or Kovacs to break 23m
