The Shanghai DL is on Saturday and it's everything a track meet should be. Stacked fields with superstars not dodging each other. My goodness it looks AMAZING on paper.

I can’t wait for this meet. I am most excited for the following two things:
1) Sydney
2) Chelimo
Of course, my American bias is showing. I have my reasons though. I am very curious to see if Sydney can pick up where she left off with her new coaching situation. I am also excited to see if what type of form Chelimo is in. I know the tippy top 5k guys are fit - they’ve proven it - I am not sure about Chelimo.
The men’s 400H is also mouthwatering and I can’t wait to see the finish. However, to me, Benjamin is the favorite. He and Samba both show up EVERY time out though - so it will be a great race. I am curious about who will win, but not as excited as I am about McLaughlin/Chelimo because their performances are unknown. The outcome of Samba/Benjamin is unknown, but I know they will both perform well.

One thing is certain about the 400 hurdles, the meet record is toast. I want to see the result of the race that is not a DL event, the 200, to see if De Grasse is back near the speed that he showed in that Olympics semi where he cruised up next to the great man.
400mH stuff is going down this season. That's for sure. I would be very surprised if you can get a medal without being 47-low, and the standard will just be better with 48 + no longer being a relevant mark by the end of the season.
Coleman, I think, will establish dominance in the 100 starting with this one.
I just updated the streaming page. The meet will not be shown live on tv in the US. IT's only on the PPV NBC gold live.
It will be shown on tape delay on Sunday on the Olympic Channel starting at 8 p.m.

Such a joke that it won’t be on TV in the US considering during the time slot the following are on air. Honestly just kill off the sport when it can’t get coverage against
NBCSN - replay of the 2018 Mecum Auto Auction
Olympic Channel - REPLAYS of the Curling World Cup and Hamburg Marathon

and to see if he can set a time that Michael Norman cannot match in Osaka.
In the 100, watch for Simbine to at least split the two American favourites. He started last year with a win on the Gold Coast. I imagine he will be more early season ready than Coleman.

....and such a joke that it won't be on TV OUTSIDE the U.S. (for the most part- you can bet it's being shown live in Kenya, Ethiopia, parts of China...)

No Coach Tyson, you gotta pay!
YOu think Alberto is up at 4 am watching this?
At the bell Kejelcha and Hagos G were side by side. Kejelcha took the lead with just before 200 to go. COming off the final turn, he and Barega were clear of the field and over the final 100 his lead increased before Barega faded/gave up late.
I had his final lap in 53.4

So much dead time between the track events. The DL doesn't need to eliminate the 5000m to reduce the TV window to 90 minutes; it could easily be done by tightening the schedule of events.
Also, why doesn't NBC Gold offer a feed dedicated solely to the track events like they do for the field events? It doesn't even need commentary, but those of us paying $75 or whatever for the NBC Gold package should be given the opportunity to watch all 12.5 laps of a 5000m if we so desire.
Kejelcha's confidence is growing, "I am amazed by my performance today. I felt very relaxed for all of the race and my power is so much better at the end of the race. I am very confident now."
Here's my hypothetical. If Kejelcha becomes a world beater under Salazar does that make you more likely to believe that Farah was totally on the up and aup under Al Sal? I was thinking one coudl argue, "Wow there really is something to his training," but ten I realized one could also could say that about any sort of other things they are doing.
To me , I guess it does.
I think the key really is mental. He has a plan. You can tell him, "Hey we're working on your speed." Etc.
What the hell happened to the Americans. CHelimoe 1313 and it look like Mead dropped out before 1k? How do you fly all the way to China and drop out before 1k. I hope everything is ok as you've gotta be really sick or injured to drop out before 1k.
Did anyone see Mead step off the track? Maybe I'll go rewind it.

So what do you think about Sydney. She almost beat a stud but the winning time was slow.
