Official 2019 Herculis Monaco Diamond League Discussion Thread

Should be an awesome meet.

Mostly looking forward to the men's 100m, 1500m and Javelin and the women's 200m and mile.

I'm going with Lyles in 9.78 in the 100m.

The 1500 should be an easy win for Cheruiyot in 3:27 with Jakob getting close to the European record.

The Javelin is hard to guess, but I'am hoping Rohler goes beyond 90m for the win. His throwing style is superb, although Kirt is in superb form this season so it could be a close battle.

The women's 200m is hard to call, but on the basis of this year's results I would give it to Miller-Uibo in a WL of 21.86 with Thompson in second.

The mile field isn't as good as it was supoosed to be, but I suspect Hassan wins it with a time very close to or under the current WR.

Both Ingebrigtsens will be going for the ER. Jakob would have broken 3:30 last week if he hadn’t held up on the line, and they still aren’t fully fit. I think they both go sub 3:30 but miss the ER, but Jakob will have the family record

I think Jakob can run 3:29-high but the European record and that absolute joke of a world "junior" record are out of reach.

Where is Makh Daddy?

I think it will be 1 - Tim (3:27 low) 2 - Jakob (3:28 low) 3 - Filip (3:29) 4 - Souleiman On The Sauce (3:29)

I also pick Jake Wightman to run 3:32.

And George Manangoi will come last of the top 8.

For those not in Norway, the bottom link obvisously

Charlie Grice to run 3:32 of course - he is the British representative, not Wightman.

Out of Reach 3:30.16 to 3:28.81 is 1.35 Seconds Seems Very Realistic, especially on Monaco's Track which is known for fast times

Will Guess

1. T. Cheruiyot 3:26.8

2, J Inge brightsen 3:27.9

3. F. Ingebrigtsen 3:28.5

Further back Leandowski 3:31. 5

Probably TOO OPTIMISTIC, but possible

In the brave women’s mile, schlautenhaufen’s world lead will get crushed by at least the first four

Weather forecast:

Weather: Sunny

Temp: 26C / 79F

Humidity: ~69%

Dew point: 18C / 64F

Wind: 1 m/s S-SE

All set for sub 3:30.0

Good overview. I'll switch Grice for Whiteman, however.

Weather looks great for middle distance running.

I'd say if Lewandowski can sneak under 3:31 or even run 3:31 mid, he will prove to be a huge medal threat in Doha.

He's got the Polish record, 3:34,04 (and that was a Monaco time). I'm really curious to see what he can do in what will probably be a very fast race.

In Denmark: TV3 Max.

Hey, rankerchief. Your mile times for 2,4,8,and ninth could be a stretch. London last year had the best times ever 2nd to 11th but some would be usurped with your times. For me Nanyondo 4.21, Stafford 4.23, Courtney and Samuel 4.24.

Damn, Mayer just looks like the ultimate athlete.

Do not sleep on Grice. He’s on fire at the moment. He’s won all the 15s/miles that he’s run this season, second in both his 800s and has a SB if 3:34. Calling 3:31 for Grice.

Nick Willis..... enjoy that CWR while it lasts. Only a couple hours to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
