Here is a brief Day 1 guide.
The finals are the men's shot and the women's pentathlon.
Ther are 4 distances races in the morning and 2 in the evening. All qualifying races.
Friday Before Most of American Wakes Up:
The heats of the Women's 3k (5:25 eastern), Men's 1500 (6:25), Men's (7:30 am eastern) and Women's 800 (7:00 am eastern) will all be done.
We've got full previews in our World section but in the women's 3k, Genzebe Dibaba is the heavy favorite having crushed 3 World Records this year, but Kenyan Hellen Obiri has run sub 8:30 this year and will want to challenge.
In the 800s, it's all about making the final. The heat winners are the only ones guaranteed to make the 6 person final and once you make the final you have a 50% chance for a medal.
In the women's 800, 3 English speaking new comers to the world stage are the favorites. Americans Ajee Wilson (only 19) and Chanelle Price enter with the top 2 times in the World, but Brit Laura Muir (20) has become world class in one year.
In the men's 800, world outdoor champ Mo Aman is the favorite, but Poland's Adam Kszczot (2 time European indoor champ) and Marcin Lewandowski (4th at Worlds) will have 11000+ cheering for them if they make the final. American Worlds silver medallist Nick Symmonds is here. However, Erik Sowinski has been the top American this year, but has drawn the unlucky heat with Aman. It's all about making the 6 man final in the 800.
The men's 1500 is wide, wide open which should make it a great watch with a lot of athletes who have been through the US collegiate system in the mix.
In the afternoon in the US:
The men's 3000 m prelim at 2:25 eastern will determine the finals for the most stacked distance event at the Championships. Ethiopian silver medallists Gebremeskel and Gebrhiwet are the favorites, but 2 time 39 year old champ Bernard Lagat leads the Americans with Galen Rupp who was tearing up the track a month ago in the mix. Sub 3:30 man and former world junior xc and 1500 champ Caleb Ndiku leads the Kenyan hopes.
The women' 1500 prelim features the #2 fastest ever Abeba Aregawi of Sweden, but American Treniere Moser has a shot at the silver after reviving her career under Alberto Salazar.
