I think we'll see him race 5000 in Lausanne, maybe he'll double but I feel like he'll race the steeple still
He's an exciting talent and will do well in rabbited races. But that gold medal 🥇 may still be elusive depending how finals are run. He's giving me male Gudaf Tsegay vibes.
Gudaf Tsegay is a double World Champion and WR holder. Put some respect on her name
Filip DFL in 3:39.28. Aso ran a 1:52.55 800m a week ago.
Makes you wonder how do athletes decide when enough is enough.
DL is like a club with lifetime membership. Charles Simotwo keeps getting invited even though, off the top of my head, I can name at least 8 Kenyans currently better than him. Bethwell Birgen seemed to have the same standing invitation.

Well, his big brother (Henrik Ingebrigtsen) has had a winter and spring with even greater injuries and illness. - Yesterday he pb’ed in the 5000m! And Filip himself got a pb in the 3000m a couple of years ago coming from months of illness….
Wow. Ingebrigtsen let it go slow and still OUTKICKED Hoare and Nuguse. 39.9 last 300. That race bodes will for Wightman or Tim C as I expected something faster.
40.33 for Jakob’s last 300 according to official results
The race would have been faster if they had the regular diamond league Pacer. Sowinski did perfect pacing in Los Angeles: 56, 1:52. By comparison, the pacers in Rabat were terrible: 55, 1:55.
Very good race from Nuguse. His first DL. He is going to be one of the strongest contenders in the World Championship. I was absloutely wrong about
The best American performance in a DL 1500 in years and people act like he personally guaranteed a win or something. Unless I’m missing something there’s really no reason to think Nuguse has a better kick than Jakob? They seem like very similar runners.

Jakob explained in an post race interview that it was so windy that he had to adjust his strategy and hopes for a faster time…

Comparison was intended to put some respect on Girma's name. Tsegay is a fantastic athlete, but doesn't have the best close.

Did you watch it? 2nd pacer backed off twice to let the group get back up to him because they weren’t going with the pace.
Were we watching the same stream??? That was not a celebration. That was him pouting and moaning as he always does with 50m to go as he watched the lights run away from him. Terrible, terrible ambassador for this sport.
Just wondering ,if you are Conselsus Kipruto what do you next after a night like that.You work so hard to get back from injury only to return and find the event has now moved to another level.El Bakali was phenomenal ,I reckon he could have run 7.53 if he hadn't celebrated in his last 30m or so.
Same with Levchenko in the high jump, she looked a good 10 pounds over her normal competition weight. Though maybe she can get back in shape before worlds.
Delilah Muhammad doesn't look to be in form to finish on a podium this season.
This is may. I am sure she got an appearance fee to be in Rabat. Comments like this is why some athletes don’t compete until they are near peak. We shame athletes into competing, we also shame them when they run times way below what they set at championships because they are yet to reach peak.
