Obligatory "who has a livestream"?
Weather looks good. Upper 60s, light winds, starts now!
Stadium...........Packed!
Kipyegon aside, the Ethiopians are capable of bossing the 1500, but that potential is rarely fulfilled, so I’ll go with…
Tsegay’s fussiness costs her again. Mageean hasn’t quite recovered from her Brussels effort. Muir, well ready for holiday, has one more good one in her. Hailu and Maclean quietly enter the medal conversation for WC 2023. A wasteful Meshesha hangs on to 5th.
Kipyegon
Muir
Hailu
Maclean
Meshesha
Can the Norwegian lose? Doubtful, but the Aussies may go for broke. Coordinated 1-2 McSqueeze. Tim piles on, to his detriment. Abel and Josh lay low, to their benefit.
Or JI gets it done, end of.
Full house, 28,000, very impressive.
Love the REAL SHORTS!
Paulino with the only sub 49 this year, some really good triple jumping happening, 17.70 from the Cuban
James with the win and the bye, 44.26. Deadmon closed well but James had plenty of room
Is no-one going to mention the pretty obvious physiology of the Dominican 1-2? I know XY are meant to be banned from the 400m, but they are highly suspicious.
Kirani James takes the M 400. 3rd DL trophy, 1st was 11 years ago!
I’m fine with someone rejecting this thought, but I think over the last 12+ seasons Kirani James has built a case for the 2nd greatest male 400 runner of all time.

Stunning consistency.
I was thinking the same thing. He was the gold medalist way back at 2011 Daegu and 2012 London, and still going strong. Pretty incredible.
Diaz Hernandez (17.70) and Rojas (15.28) take the triple jumps
Also, Cuba is a jump factory, damn
1st 'competitive' track event is up. W 100H. Should be fast.
AMUSAN! Takes down Gail Dever's meet record
Puttemans set a WR in 71, and won the Rome Marathon in 82. That's 'stepping down' somewhat, though. For a sprinter, this is unreal.
Amusan yet again. 12.29 Broke some ancient Meeting Record
Jakob Ingebrigtsen has a 1989 Ferrari 348 GTB and he's just put in paperwork to upgrade it
Strava thinks the London Marathon times improved 12 minutes last year thanks to supershoes
