The field seems a bit big, but wouldn't be surprised if Wanyonyi is chasing another fast time, especially on the track where the WR was set.

Will Brazier break 1:43 here?
Bar disaster, yes. He hasn't been training for too long this year and will be gaining fitness in each race he runs. This will be the first race he is challenged in all year. Not only do I think he breaks 1:43, I say he places top 3 as well. Book it!
You can take the man out of the world championships but you can't take the world championships out of the man.

It will be interesting to see how far Braziers (obvious) PED stack will take him.

I think it’s going too far to assume he’ll run 1:42.XX “barring disaster.” He’s only broken 1:43 twice, both in 2019. I feel like any kind of SB (under 1:43.81) is a good result just considering how much more crowded and competitive this race will be than the Portland Track Festival; it would show that his return to form travels.
There are a shocking number of Kenyans in here considering their Trials is July 22. I wonder if they mostly end up scratching and these entries date from before AK changed the date.

An honestly legit post gets hammered. Such virtue signaling can only be found at LR.
I meant in the overall meet. Phanuel Koech also listed, I forgot Akidor actually makes sense as the W5,000 already happened. Both Koech/Wanyonyi are 2RunningClub so perhaps they were initially entered together. Other pathway for Wanyonyi could be through DL route, but it feels an unnecessary risk for him/Koech.

Ok, if you want to call having functional Achilles tendons for the first time in 4+ years a PED, be my guest.
It is extremely difficult and painful to not just run, but live with the injury he had, and I speak from experience. As your tendons deteriorate, you increase the strain on other muscles in the chain. Easy runs start feeling harder and harder, then you slow down, then those slower paces become hard, rinse repeat. It did not just pop up at the 2021 trials - most likely he had been dealing with it longer than that, and it's impressive that he was able to run as fast as he did leading up to his first surgery. I can't emphasize enough how much it wears you down.
When I was finally able to run again after my surgeries, my speed came back very quickly. I was able to race faster than I had in the years leading up to surgery on much less mileage. I imagine this is similar to how he's feeling right now.

It’s also obvious to a moran that the earth is flat when he can’t see its curvature

re: "Braziers (obvious) PED stack"
Let's have an open, honest and factual discussion about that; please share with us what you know and/or your reasoning behind your accusation? Thanks in advance for your thoughtful response.
Similar to PTF, I think he'll take a relatively safe approach with a slow first lap near the back of the pack and then really open it up to catch as many as possible. At PTF he went 52.7 and 51.1 for 143.8. He can't start that slow with these guys or they will be long gone, but I would guess 51.5 and 51.3 for 142.8 (which probably won't be top 3).
I believe at PTF he had not yet tried bicarb, even in training. Presumably he has now, but who knows.

This forum is full from top to bottom of wild doping accusations, and suddenly it upsets you? And we have to be factual too? Come on.

I’ll predict 1:43.50, 6th place.

i think 143 144 is a fantastic result. and establish stability. off the long long layover.
if there is stability, i.e. no minor injury and everything is holding up well, 142 has to be in the cards not too far down the line.
and then we have on the day, conditions, type of race, type of trip to consider.
you can run 142 quality performance lose a couple of seconds, due to a couple of unfortunate route changes.
you can bet on guys that screw up races one off, or put in a solid mediocre performance after a long training block early season ...
the classic was Coe in 1980, in world record form, and blows the 800 final, due to running wide, letting Ovett gap him, kind of in a fog thinking he could make up 20 meters in the last lap, ...against Ovett who was really a 142 man himself,
so you got great odds for Coe in the final of the 1500, where Ovett bombed as well.
where Ovett was a good bet with odds after the olympics.....
bet against the flow and take advantage of stupid people.
