Where can I watch The Diamond League on tape delay with a vpn in english? Flo Track can get outta here with what they want to charge monthly. Being a casual track fan is hard when the only track to watch is Grand Slam.

No men’s 1500? What gives

A bit spaced out this year. Nearly three weekends in a row in May/June, then a couple in July, then three in a row in August. The Tokyo 1500m final is September 17th.

There’s one in Rabat. The biggest names will be the Kenyans which is probably why they’re waiting on the 1500s until the GST 3 and Kessler/Laros/Jakob are in the mix.

Overall: not the greatest fields for Doha…Should be good races/wide open, but the 400H is rough

Interesting to see Cooper Teare and Reynold Cheruiyot in the 5K

I think it makes sense…Cheruiyot frankly hasn’t leaned into his strength background (World Jr XC runner-up, 13:04 road 5K) enough. Teare is all-in on the 5000, and GST races aren’t proper ways to practice running fast.

When was the lady time Yavi raced? I'm excited to see if she's still got it

Yavi and Chemutai are 26y. Just entering their prime years. I'm excited to see if Doris Lemngole can make the Kenya squad for Tokyo..

What about Pamela Kosgei too…Chepkoech is MIA so it’s very wide open for the other 2 to fill it behind Faith Cherotich

Doha Diamond League is one of the toughest meetings for middle-distance runners it's often hot, humid, and windy all at the same time, making it a very challenging environment for fast times

I don't know why this was downvoted. I attended the last three Doha DL meets and they've all been hot and windy. Not always humid though.

That 5000 isn't half bad, hope Coop can drop something fast.

I hope he is competitive a sub 13 would be great for him.

^ bumping this because wondering the same.. really bummed it isn’t on peacock again this year

Agree that not all fields are the greatest, but there's a lot of different events at a DL meet and it's still early season for a lot of athletes. The organizers usually have to pick and chose which fields to try and make elite level and I've never seen a DL this early (or ever) with all elite fields (logistically and monetary impossible).

The women's pole vault and 400m are stacked and the 100m is decent. On the men's side there's high jump and javelin greatness and a decent 200m. It looks like Rabat DL will have quite a different set of elite/good fields, so if you're favorite event isn't well represented (or not at all), a little over a week later it might ...

Not a very impressive lineup I think. Oh well. Things will get better!
