DNF due to fall
DNF due to fall
I say WR 1:52, and then hopefully CAS gets its collective head out of its ass.
Hopefully 55.x first lap, Niyonsaba/Wambui force it til 600 and then Semenya is forced to show 'her' hand and run wr to win.
I think a WR is the only way to bring up enough talk to force them back on hormone therapy.
Wake up and get this guy out of women's events.
1.53.27 and new WR. And about time too.

Monaco is known for having super fast times, and the fact that both Wambui and Niyonsaba will be in the race as well. How fast will she win?
I'll say at least a 1:55.
The hideous heshe-beast will run just to win and still clock a 1:54. Semenya will hold off on running for time until Rio, and then he will go for the record in order to rub it in everyone's collective face.
If she goes through in 55 and bits then we know the WR is on. Her 1:55.45 PB is going down for sure. She has been running very fast 400m times and very fast 1500m times and she would probably medal in the 400m and 1500m if the athletics was spread over two weeks like it should be. I am excited about this one.
Sub 1:50 cart-wheeling the last 50 meters.
1:37

He has been running very fast 400m times and very fast 1500m times and he would probably medal in the women's 400m and 1500m if he were a woman and the athletics were spread over two weeks like it should be. I am excited about how fast this guy can run in a women's race because maybe then I can do the same thing even though I'm just an average runner for a guy.

I feel the same. I run with women that I know produce more testosterone than me and need to shave more often than I do.
I am just a C+ level running man, but in a weird way running with these manly women and seeing a she-man run really fast gives me some hope that I, as just an average real man, can somehow match these mutants one day.
Been watching Semenya for a while, and he's not that fast yet. I say he runs 1:54.4
Whatever an elite HS boys time is.

Amel Tuka ran 1:42 out of nowhere last year at Monaco.
But he has ran pretty fast elsewhere too. The 1500 Monacans are often 3 seconds slower or more in other places.

Fool! The US elite who get invited to run fast in Eugene (i.e. Pre Classic) invariably go just as fast, or faster, in Europe. Except Mary Cain and such, but then she was never elite.
The sub-elite only go there to champs, where they run slow because of rounds.
It is fast for sprints because it's not bouncy, but more because it is designed to cheat the wind gauge.
i saw brief clip of wambui's win in kenyan trials where she crushed eunice with a big -ve split 1'58 at 7,000' & eunice supposedly in top shape for trials
wambui's thighs looked like lashawn's !
that gal can run 1'54+ at sea-level off 2s +ve splits
semanya shoud still win but it will be close

i hope she does around 1.51 and slaughters the world record.shes surely capable of such a time.i believe she can run a whole lot faster that most people think in every event from sprints,to the mile,but id say she'll hold back,and run 1.55.of course it also depends on how quick margaret wambui and francine niyonsaba run their races.
