    Last Diamond League of the year.
    Kiprop is back and so far ahead in points he could come dead last and lose (I assume this means his hamstring must be cleared up if he's bothering to race. Or maybe a nice enough appearance fee I guess).

    Rematch between Makloufi and Kiplagat and Kiprop. If all are healthy (it seems Makloufi and Kiplagat are) who takes it this time?

    Will Nick Willis redeem his recent failures?

    Will Souleimon or Bethwell take the win away from the favorites?

    And finally how will Centrowitz fair?

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict 3:30.8 for second for Centro.
    And it's tough but I think k give Makloufi the edge over Kiplagat (and don't know what to think about Kiprop)

    Centro will win.

    Centro is The Man.

    Centro for the win! With some good pacemaking, 3:30 IS possible! Mak-cheat-fi will die because all the precious dope has left his veins, Kiprop is still shaky after injury, Kiplagat has burned out, but Centro! Centro started later because of his injury so he is still very fresh!

    Centro for the win!

    Why don't you click around the internet a tad...like the front page, and click over to the start lists and figure it out *hole. (*)

    Point is:
    He's entered. He's American. And he's the Olympic Silver medalist.
    How is he not in this discussion?

    Manzano? Study his race history, you'll figure it out.

    Top5... MakhDaddy Kiplagat Centrowitz Gebr Chepseba

    I think it will be fast. 3:31.25

    MakhDaddy wins it if he wants it. If he doesn't anyone's race.

    Like Gebr's recent efforts...always hanging around.

    According to the Diamond League site he isn't on the start list but maybe he's a late entry? Anyone know for sure?

    Would love to see him know another race

    This shows Manzano in the race:

    Interesting that 14 people in the field have run faster than him so far this year.

    He has a lot of good races.
    In 2010, he raced great in August and September to earn a #6 in the world ranking.
    He may be do for a good race here.

    And his twitter has further confirmed his entry

    Glad to see Manzano out one more time before the season ends!

    It's always hard to predict Manzano given hi hot and cold nature but I've got a feeling good Leo shows up and rips a 3:31.01!

    Isn't Manzano Mexican? Why is he getting so much attention.

    Anyone know what the projected pacing times are? Which runners are pacing?

    Will we see any sub-3:30s?
