Just saw the provisional entry lists for Monaco.
Berian is in a pretty stacked 800, versus Amos, Aman, Bosse, Cheuriyot, world junior champ Kipketer, Souleiman, Kszczot, Lewandowski ... with Som getting pacemaking duties.
A bit odd not to see any of Amercian top 3 in this race (none in Lausanne 800 either). There isn't a mens 800 in either London or Stockholm meeting (at least a dimaond league one, perhaps there will be a non-scoring one?) and there is only one World Challenge meeting before Worlds (Madrid, 11 July ... don't know if it has 800 or not).
Are Symmonds, Sowinski, or Loxsom, running any races before worlds? At some smaller meets I'd guess?
Anyway ... real reason for the thread is, What will Berian run in Monaco?
I'm also very interested to see what Souleiman can do. I think he has a sub-1:43 in him.
