Just speculation on my part, but with USA's just 1 month away, perhaps most would rather focus on getting a few final weeks of good preparation in (in the case of some, at altitude) rather than fly around the world to race. Between Pre and a handful of others, there are enough quality meets in the states that it isn't 100% necessary to fly to Europe to race.

Yep. I would like to see Merritt (and James) against Van Niekerk in this one.

What are the other handful of quality meets left?

Haha, no ... that would be Nicholas Kiptonui Bett who is running the steeple. 8:19 PR, just competed at the Beijing world challenge meet.

Is Nicholas Bett the 400mh guy running the steeplechase?? Or is this another Nicholas Bett?

There is a lot of great action.
Will Almaz Ayana get the WR in the w5000?
The women's 800 is STACKED. Ajee Wilson looks to be in good shape and is racing on the DL circuit for the firs time but has her hands full in a truly spectacular women's 800 with Caster Semenya, Francine Niyonsaba and all of the medallists from 2015.
Men's steeple, mile and more.
Give us your thoughts below.
I second this
