This started off as a thread about the 1500 but I've turned it into the official meet discussion thread as the meet is about to start.
The meet is on live on youtube if you have an Irish VPN. Need a VPN, go here.
Live results can be found here.
Here is our preview.

How do we watch? Wasn’t mentioned in the article - how can a preview article not tell us where to watch?!

Please give me Nuguse vs Katir for the WR at 1,500m.

Jakob is a last minute scratch from the 3k.

What are the odds that the 1.500 meter world record goes down? Nuguse was in sensational shape last race, and he has Sowinsky as a pacer and maybe Katir to push him.

Almost certainly FloTrack in the US, unfortunately.

Or Nuguse pushes Katir to the record. The guy just ran 7:24 (4 seconds faster than Nuguse), has the bronze medal from Worlds, plus a 3:28 outdoor PB. He's in awesome shape. Don't sleep on it

Katir vs Nuguse is a barnburner. Feels like Katir is more in base training mode while Nuguse is sharper for the mile right now, but I bet both can go really quick. Even though Jakob bettered the WR, it's still weak compared to outdoors. Think Nuguse runs just outside the WR

Maybe, but that last lap from Nuguse was very convincing, to say the least. I guess Katir must tear him apart between 1000 meter, when Sowinski steps off, and 1300 meter. If it comes down to the last lap, and I think it will, I will put my money on Nuguse. That said, if the world record really is to go down, someone must the pace those two and a half last laps.

The track isn’t very fast. So that is working against a super fast time.

He won bronze at Worlds and silver at Europeans, he must have been tested regularly during winter? And yes, he waa tested in Lievin, according to his own Instagram story.

Don't be a moron. He's been a major player on the global stage for two years now, I'm certain he's been tested regularly

The interesting question for me is who follows Sowinski. I can't ever remember seeing Katir lead or sit on a pacer in a 1500. He usually aims to sit on the race leader so don't be surprised to see him try and make Nuguse do the work
