The men's 5000 with the top 5 from Ethiopia (including Kenenisa Bekele in his first race in 28 days) and the top 4 from Kenya seems to be the highlight for true LRC people.

Elijah Greer is in the 800. Two really good steeples and Maryam Jamal in her seasonal debut in the 1500 as well.
And of course, Gay, Powell and Gatlin in the 100m.
Watch out Muktar Edris in the 5000m.
Does anyone know when the window opens to make the A standard for next year? That is not another angle that is worth following.
Is there going to be an online stream?
Yes the event will be streamed online. The races will be great only wish Rupp and Mo were in the 5K, could have been like the Olympics 5K

I'm not aware of a free online stream, however,you can buy a live feed from Universal for $4.95. It will start at 11:00 AM Pacific Time...............
What's up with the 100m start list; Powell's name isn't there, but your article says "Men's 100
The top two American sprinters in Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay will take on former world record holder Asafa Powell,"
Then the list is:
ASHMEADE Nickel
FRATER Michael
GATLIN Justin
GAY Tyson
KIMMONS Trell
LEMAITRE Christophe
NEWMAN Calesio
RODGERS Michael
THOMPSON Richard
What gives?

Rojo, you must have forgotten that Kenenisa ran the 10,000 at the UK Trials only 2 weeks ago.
Tentative free streaming online is herehttp://www.sportlemon.tv/v-4/2/30/v-423103.htmlwill confirm as time nears. Quality of stream can not compare to the nbcuniversal one, but frankly the online commentators are normally better than NBCs , if you get the English feed

i do not see jamal doing anything special. she has been rather in consistent of late.
If Tangui is pacing, Rudisha will not break the WR. He has been out with an injury and I think this is first race back this season. I doubt he can handle the pace that is necessary.
I'm calling bekele for the win in the 5k in 12:51
Live stream is available on UniversalSports.com for $1.99.
i see jos hermens in the infield yelling splits at the pacers

Fixed.
there was jos again yelling at Aregawi?
does this guy manage all the ethiopian athletes ?
well first 2 women in 1500 are doped to the gills.... EPO city.
Former doping cheat Mariem ALAOUI SELSOULI takes the 1500m in a New Moroccan Record and world lead of 3:56.15... Pathetic...
did anyone else see the Moroccan epo machines in the the 1500?
