    All of the DL point scoring events are over for the men's 800 and 3k/5k.

    Here is who has qualified. I"ll list some bubble people in case of DNSs.

    800m Men - 8 qualify
    Ferguson Cheruiyot ROTICH (KEN) 32
    Nijel AMOS (BOT) 31
    Emmanuel Kipkurui KORIR (KEN) 21
    Wyclife KINYAMAL (KEN) 19
    Brandon MCBRIDE (CAN) 15
    Donavan BRAZIER (USA)14
    Clayton MURPHY (USA)14
    Amel TUKA (BIH) 9
    Bubble: Wesley VÁZQUEZ (PUR) 9

    5000 Men - Top 12 go
    Selemon BAREGA (ETH) 29
    Telahun Haile BEKELE (ETH) 18
    Yomif KEJELCHA (ETH) 16
    Joshua CHEPTEGEI (UGA) 14
    Birhanu BALEW (BRN) 14
    Hagos GEBRHIWET (ETH) 12
    Nicholas Kipkorir KIMELI (KEN) 10
    Abadi HADIS (ETH) 8
    Henrik INGEBRIGTSEN (NOR) 5
    Stewart MCSWEYN (AUS) 3
    Mohammed AHMED (CAN) 3
    Paul CHELIMO (USA) 3

    Bubble:
    Andrew HUNTER (USA) 2
    Edward Zakayo PINGUA (KEN) 2
    Paul Kipngetich TANUI (KEN) 2
    Ben True (USA) 1

    For the men's 1500 and steeple, the last qualification meet is in Paris. Let's hope Engels/Centro show up there as a few points and they could be in to the final.

    For the women, the 5000 is set:

    Women's 5000 DL field

    Hellen OBIRI (KEN) 19
    Agnes Jebet TIROP (KEN)17
    Sifan HASSAN (NED) 14
    Lilian Kasait RENGERUK (KEN) 13
    Caroline Chepkoech KIPKIRUI (KEN) 13
    Genzebe DIBABA (ETH) 12
    Margaret Chelimo KIPKEMBOI (KEN) 8
    Konstanze KLOSTERHALFEN (GER) 7
    Fantu WORKU (ETH) 7
    Letesenbet GIDEY (ETH) 6
    Beatrice CHEPKOECH (KEN) 5
    Gabriela DEBUES-STAFFORD (CAN) 5

    Bubble: Laura WEIGHTMAN (GBR) 4
    Gloriah KITE (KEN) 3

    For the women's 1500 and steeple, your last chance to qualify is in Birmingham. Shelby Houlihan isn't in the field so she won't be in the DL finale. In the women's 800, both Birmingham and Paris are qualifiers.

    Is there a reason for your post? Seems very odd to me.

    Nothing odd about scooping a major running news site and then pointing it out.

    Huh? Fist line of the OP:

    "All of the DL point scoring events are over for the men's 800 and 3k/5k."

    Some 'scoop'?

    That's what I was getting at. No one is claiming to break a story here so why they trashing the OP?

    I mean of course they were technically set right after the last DL. It didn't matter whether they reported it right after London or right before Zurich/Brussels, it's still news. I still found it helpful.

    If there was such a rush on it, why didn't you start a thread about it 4 weeks ago?

    People have talked a lot about how unfair it is that certain people do/don't get invites to the diamond league meets. It would be interesting to see some analysis of how much of a difference it makes.

    Like if you get invited to all the meets and you finish top four a few times and finish dead last a few times, you'll probably have enough points to race the finals. But if that same person were only allowed to race once or twice, they might not have made it. How often does this sort of thing happen? How do athletes' odds decrease if they're invited to fewer meets?

    That's what I'm saying, in all likelihood he did, as he did for other events. Thus scooping this story.

    News should be timely! LR should hire ASM to up their game.
