Awesome lineup.
1)1500 will be interesting. I'm thinking 3:34 for our favorite potato farmer, Tim. Wonder if Little George will continue to impress this year?
2)3kst- Kipruto is conspicuously absent from the lineup. Betting that El Bakkali has done everything to ensure a win in Doha anyway.
3)800 is hot. Should be fun to watch. Of korir, kinyamal, rotich, and kitilit...which one will be the first busted this summer? Thinking korir in 1:43 tomorrow with Kinyamal as the first to get pinched.
4)women's 800 will be CS's swan song. Will she be the first to break 1:50 on pure hate?
Looking forward to the women’s long jump. Could get six girls over 6.81, including one of the two Aussies.
In the 3000 for women, does Caroline Kipkirui have the speed to trouble the two favourites? I say yes, she can split them.
Desired paces for rabbits.

I was looking back to previous long jump competitions over the decades where four or more women jumped 6.82 or more. Found more than 25 including a qualifying comp in 2012 in Eugene where the winner, Janay Deloach jumped over seven metres, wind aided, and second best of 6.97 was a waste of time because Vashti Thomas couldn’t repeat it in the final and missed the Olympics.
Hoping for a live stream that can be accessed internationally. Speaking of....am moving back to the States. Will NBCSN suffice if I want to see most T & F stuff or do I need Olympic channel in addition? I can get a cable package with NBCSN for a fair price but the upgrade needed for Olympic channel would be v expensive. Or just get NBCSN package and add Gold? Thx. for any leads.

If you want to make sure you see everything, NBC Sports Gold is the way to go. Looking back last year, several of the best Diamond Leagues (Doha, London, Monaco, Brussels) were on the Olympic Channel and so is 2019 Doha. But anything that's on the Olympic Channel will be streamed through NBC Sports Gold as well. It's $75 for a year, but if you're a track nerd, it is worth the money.
200m lineups look tepid, with Brown and Guliyev the interesting ones.

Any intuition on when Guliyev might get popped?
Does anyone know what's up with Bosse this year? I went to his FB page and haven't seen anything.
Will he be back?

All DL meets are on Olympic Channel or NBCSN.
Anyone have a link to a livestream?

.......And thus my question. Will NBCSN suffice or must I pay the significant upgrade to include Olympic channel.
I don't have NBC Gold wrote:

It's on the Olympic Channel. This has been known for months.

Thanks. I know this is a topic discussed ad nauseam on here, but I was looking for a more current take. I believe I will do the NBCSN cable package which is modestly priced, forgo the upgrade for Olympic Channel, and gladly pay the $75 for Gold, thx again. And now for a Doha live stream!?
In Arabic, but great video quality:

800m lining up. Wow, they really are cramming like 14 runners in there.
Women’s 400 hurdles: Muhammad cruises
Many have already handed the 2019 world title to American phenom Sydney McLaughlin, but Dalilah Muhammad, the 29-year-old reigning Olympic and two-time Diamond League champion, sent a message that she should not be forgotten by crushing the field to win in a meet record of 53.61. Muhammad got out hard, making up the stagger on Jamaica’s Janieve Russell on her outside on the backstretch, before really taking off with 200 to go and pulling away to win by over a second.
53.61 is Muhammad’s fastest time since the 53.50 she ran to take silver at Worlds in 2017, made even more impressive by the fact that this was her first hurdles race of the year.
