Lausanne Entries Out: Great 15- Jakob vs. Girma vs. Wightman; Cheptegei vs. Kiplimo; Keely vs. Moraa; Amusan vs. Camacho-Quinn

Ky Robinson in the 5000m in a diamond league debut for the recent ncaa champ.

nice catch, that's a fun one

3-4 more runners under 3:30?

CHERUIYOT, GIRMA, KERR, GOURLEY?

WIGHTMAN

Jakob is going to absolutely wipe the floor with Wightman. He's still got a chip on his shoulder from that World Champs loss.

Yes. I think this will be a repeat of Oslo last year with Wightman fading the last 200. Would love to be wrong, but I suspect Girma, Cheruiyot and potentially Kerr will be the bigger dangers. I think Farken and Arese have to be considered contenders to do what Habz and Nordas did and lop off a huge chunks off their PBs in a way faster race than they've been in.

Kinda wish Jakob would run this 5000 instead of another 1500. I’m fine waiting to see him race Wightman until August and would rather see him v Kiplimo in a fast 5000, but he’s clearly obsessed with the 1500. Is he going to be targeting another PB?

Is Amusan going to come last again or has she got her 💉 supply together? 🤔

Katir until now is extremely clever in his planning, he know the world championships is the most important event.

Would know the reaction of the young Reynold.

But I'm soul and heart with Girma, if he is in the same fitness as he was 2 weeks ago, we can see a more potent resistance in the 1500m than what have done Katir in Oslo.

Per his Oslo interview, yes.

“I think we’ve done a lot of things right the last 3 weeks to be able to do these two races back-to-back. At the same time, it’s probably not the best way to do it… I want to run faster the next couple of races and if I can just focus on those races and not doing that much racing in between, I think it’s probably better, but at the same time, there’s no guarantee that when you really go for it that’s the race you end up with the fastest.”

Did you remember your n-1 brain cells this time ?

Moraa's coach planned sub-1:56 in Monaco as was reported exactly. But of course that is a race to win.

Jemma Reekie, looks like, is finally improving this season, at least set 1500 PB, and is also in the field. Audrey Werro also, very interesting what can clock fresh 1000 U20 WR holder.

Bad pacemaker as it is Poland's Patrycja Wyciszkiewicz-Zawadzka again, who is bad. There is second Pole much better, very good rabbit, Aneta Lemiesz.

Jakob is probably just sticking to his plan. However he has to know that Jacob Kiplimo can defeat him at 5000m. I am not saying Jakob is dodging Jacob, as I am sure Jakob is just sticking to his plan, but Jakob surely could lose to Jacob at 5000m. At 1500m, Jakob has a much better chance of winning, although may receive some challenge from Girma and Cheruiyot.

Jakob is beatable in the 5000m at high pace. Something like 12:40.

Until now he is despising longer distances.

You should write that on a post-it note next time! You clearly need the reminder if you think two WRs out of nowhere to dead LAST is legit.

Emmanuel Bamidele the ncaa 400 champ in the 400 as well

I give a lot of credit to the top 100H women. They all seem to race each other all the time.

To me, it’s the most exciting event on the track right now.
