Honestly I mostly wanted to remind those interested to enter habs’s fantasy league contest:
This is admittedly maybe the most boring fantasy league meet of the last two seasons, since it’s so much a re-run of last week’s Xiamen meet (most athletes want to go 2-for-one if they’re traveling all the way to China). Lots of events where the wise move is probably to predict a Xiamen repeat.
There are a few interesting new entrants, though. Selemon Barega and the youngster Biniam Mehary in the 5k. Emma Coburn in the steeple. Sedjati and Moula in the 800.
And of course, before the DL events kick off Letesenbet Gidey makes her 2024 debut in what appears to be a 5k WR attempt. Unfortunately this might not be broadcast anywhere we can find it.
Shanghai is 12 hours ahead of US Eastern, so Gidey’s 5k will start at 6:29 a.m. Saturday morning (ET) and the broadcast window begins at 7:00 ET.
If you’re entering the fantasy contest, you’ll want to make your picks based on the current start lists as there are some athletes listed on the contest page who have since withdrawn.
