The Monaco Diamond League Meet on Friday is absolutely loaded. Jakob Ingebrigtsen headlines the men's 1500 vs Yared Nuguse, Neil Gourley, Narve Nordas, and Niels Laros, Jess Hull goes for the 2000m world record, we've got an...
How did Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Yared Nuguse look in the 1500? Who won the men's 400 showdown with Warholm, Benjamin and Dos Santos? Did Jessica Hull get the ...
3. women’s 2K - Hull in fantastic shape and going for it
4. men’s 1500 - this is a long shot, but Monaco is wicked fast
I'll say under. I think the women's 2k is the only one that will realistically fall. Men's 400mH won't fall this year IMO. And in the 1500 I think Jakob will finally get under 3:27 but fall short of the WR.

I completely agree with this.
The hurdles are so difficult to predict - especially the short hurdles which is so dependent on the execution of actually going over the hurdles. The long hurdles you never know but it feels like we will see something more in the region of low 46 rather than under 45.94.
Mens 1500m - we will know everything from the requested pace. I think that we see the race light (yellow) set to 1.50.5 with Jakob hoping to be right at 2.46.0 through 1200m. I think this sets him up for the sub 3.27.0 you said, but he can't break the WR off that.
So the 2000m really should be obliterated. I just watched the Niyonsaba WR and here were the splits:
65.0, 64.4, 64.8, 66.0, 61.4 (btw shout out to the 2 pacers in that who ran almost perfect splits for 1200m without Wavelight). Niyonsaba hit the mile right at 4.21 and of course had a good finish. But Hull just ran a 1500m which was a the equivalent of a 4.07 mile so it's kind of unfathomable she couldn't run something in the 4.14-5 range and still keep that pace up for another 391m. It would be hard to imagine with her coming off this performance, in Monaco, with wavelight that she won't run 5.17/18. In fact now she's set the standard with the 3.50 and he chops over 3000m already this season, I think it would be bizarre if she didn't.

I can see why you guys might think Jakob is in great shape given his fast openers, but I'm just not sure. He lost like half or even more of his base training and only started running his normal mileage is late febuary from the looks of it. I still hope he runs what you said but I'm on a more skeptical side.

You might be right...
Just got word from the Monaco tech meeting that the field pace lights (the yellows) will be 1.51.0, 2.19.0 with a final goal time of 3.27.5. Now Jakob/whoever might end up running faster off this (he did run his PR off 1.51.6 at 800m), but this does not point towards even a planned WR attempt, let alone a legit shot at it.

That seems more reasonable. I mean after an injury like that I was never thinking he was going for 3:26 a month out from the Olympics. Still though...3:27.5 is a fast speed, still not disappointed by that request for the lights.

These splits through 800 and 1000 look very similar to what the lights were programmed to in Silesia last year. Through 1k the lights went through in 2:19 and then through 1200 in 2:46 with a finishing time of 3:27. This time the only difference is the finishing time is 3:27.5. Seems to me like a rerun of last year again.

On-coach Jordan Donelly told the norwegian podcast Breaking marathon limits a couple of days ago that he predicts a 3,26 high winning time after witnessing Jakob in Chiavenna last Friday. «I don’t think we’ve seen a workout like this before», he stated and called it «extremely impressive». But we’ll see.
”Hey I’ll tell you, in Chiavenna on Friday, Jakob was seriously moving. I don’t think we’ve seen a workout like this before.”
”I heard some rumors about some splits.”
“It was extremely impressive.”
Starting around 20:10 in the podcast if you want to listen for yourself. He goes on to rave about the form of Nuguse and Hoare as well. We could be on for something very special.

Sticking with 3:26-high. 1:51.0 is fast enough. Especially considering Sisk I believe based on watching him with Laros will be able to feel if Jakob wants him to move from 800-1100.

Guess the slightly conservative pace is for Jakob to practice his intended Olympic pacing, with a sub 54 close off a 2:19-2:20 opening 1000m. Also wise to avoid the risk of blowing up and create uncertainty right before what really matters.
Let's hope for a good first bend and no slower than 2:19, so that he has a legitimate shot at sub 3:27
I think he has a shot at sub 3:27 if he really commits to the lights. Presumably, I think the lights are going through 1200m in 2:46.00 since that is the average speed for 3:27.5. If he is right on the lights at 1:51, he would need a 55 second lap and then need a sub 41 last 300. I thought this was doable last year in Silesia but he was more hesitant the first 800, going through in 1:51.6.
