Oslo Entries Out: Dream M1500, Other Fields a Bit Thinner

400H - When was the last Warholm race? Will Allen beat him?

1500- Would have been nice to see Farken in this - top 3 guy right now

5000- Will this be another sub 13 for Klecker? Without last lap mishaps again perhaps can bring his PR down a few seconds.

1500 is nuts, stronger than most championship finals. Highlight of the meet going away.

5k is solid, gets a big bump from having Kiplimo in his season track debut. I’ll say 1. Kiplimo 2. Kejelcha 3. Grijalva.

3k will hopefully be a better race for Monson than Paris (not that 14:34 is bad) without the likes of Kipyegon/Gidey/Taye running the fastest race in history. After Kipkemboi and Rengeruk (who both ran 14:23 in Paris) I’d call Monson the “3rd favorite.”

Gonna call Nikki Hiltz for 2nd in the mile in 4:17.9, behind Birke Haylom, as they’ve really been tearing it up this year.

One quibble: how is Beatrice Chebet not the favorite in W3K? Beat good field at Kip Keino, recent 4:07 easy win in Nairobi, World XC Champ etc etc.

I don't know what is the fitness of Cherruiyot this time.

Also Katir showed some edge, but not sure what he will do in Oslo.

Hard to see Warholm losing. He typically opens up fast after massive training blocks. I’d be surprised if he’s not under 47.2 if conditions are decent even on a slower track allegedly.

Farken good callout, him and Reynold missing, so hopefully they’re in Golden Spike or would it be Lausanne/Silesia? Top 3 is strong to me, but he’s certainly in the finalist mix.

5000-wise, it’ll be interesting who wants a fast pace. Kiplimo and Kejelcha just want to win, Telahun Haile Bekele might like a fast time to secure Ethiopian qualification. I think this might end up being a crazy fast 600 to end this one.

The fitness of Cheruiyot is quite good. He ran 3:31.4 traveling a huge distance to race and saving a lot of that for a fast last 100. With no races since then, I suspect he’s gotten in some strong weeks of training.

I think you've gotten spoiled by recent races! That we have had the greatest women's miler ever (Faith) racing at the same time as the most versatile ever (Hassan), overlapping with 2nd fastest Ethiopian all time behind Dibaba (Tsegay) and someone like Muir who not only is fast but historically races a lot, has skewed what Diamond League 1500m usually look like. It has been a golden age.

I remember some grim Diamond Leagues - Kate Grace winning a 4:27 mile, Laura Weightman winning one in 4:06, Arafi in 4:02, or the dark dark days of London 2013 won by Mary Kuria (who?) in 4:08. This field still looks to produce much better results than those meets.

- The women's mile has interesting up and coming stars: Haylom and Chemusto are breaking out.

- Meshesha is only one year removed from a 3:57 and already opened warly May in 4:02. If she makes the team for worlds she could be a medal contender.

Mageean ran 3:56 last year beating Hailu twice and Muir once in the process. She has had her fastest ever opener in both the 800m and 1500m.

Stafford is coming back from injury but is cutting time off every time she races this year so will be interesting if she takes another step forward. Her worst finish when healthy as a pro at worlds/Olympics is 6th.

McGee, Hall, and Hiltz are all world/Olympic finalists all running well.

Andrews might not be a world finalist but is certainly of that calibre and running very close to her PB.

It isn't Florence, that was basically a world final rehearsal race but that isn't normal. This race is maybe slightly below average but it's still a field with decent depth, decent quality, and it will be exciting seeing who emerges from the race victorious.

Bad oversight on my part, that’s how.

1. Chebet 2. Kipkemboi 3. Rengeruk 4. Monson

My B I looked but missed!

Interestingly, Jakob vs Girma at Lausanne was just announced as was Cheptegei vs Barega. Will be great to see if Girma can break 3:30. Katir is undecided on 15/5

What has happened to the American 400h man, Benjamin? 5000m will be a nice race with likely Kejelcha winning in 12:58 region. Has Hoare been announced for the 1500m, or have I overlooked him in my haste?

From the AI Preview of the men's 5000:

"Luis Grijalva of Guatemala..."

It seems funny to me to say that Grijalva is of Guatemala. I know he represents Guatemala in international competitions but I consider him more a product of Fairfield, California and NAU than anything else. I wish that he could represent the US.
