Can we start a thread where we do a guess-how-many-candies-in-the-jar type activity to guess the total GALLONS of EPO used between these men?

Four sub-3:30, winner in 3:28-mid. Buncha 3:31s. Rio Rio RIO!

I guessed 31. So close!

take your pick:

It was great to see Shamier LIttle out there after her disaster at the Trials.

But she was awful here. My goodness.

It seems to indicate something is wrong with her. What is up with the Texas A&M crew. Totally shot.

Women's 400h

McBride with a huge run! I hope he goes under 1:44!

No one did. What happened?

El G went under 3:30 5 times in 2001 and 6 times in 2002 (almost 7, he ran 3:30.00 once in 2002)

Almost 7 in one year while Kiprop so far has 7 in his career

I can't wait for the 800m FARCE late in the meet!

Kipketer holds off Kszczot FTW

Kszczot closing hard but was in a terrible position coming into the straightaway, easily had the win if he had room

Nice win for Kenyan Trials champ Alfred Kipketer in that 800. Results system is screwed up at the moment, but looks like his time will be 1:44.47, just edging Adam Kszczot. Kipketer did a good job defending lane 1 (nothing illegal though), forcing Kszczot to go outside for the pass.
