The men's HJ is wide open as the top 6 jumpers are separated by just 4 cm (1.6 inches). Can Erik Kynard improve on his 2012 silver and win the U.S.'s first gold in the event since Charles Austin in 1996?

The DL season wraps up with the second DL Final in Brussels on Friday as 16 more Diamond Race champions will be crowned. Some of the highlights include the men's 1500 (Silas Kiplagat vs. Asbel Kiprop vs. Ayanleh Souleiman plus Galen Rupp and Leo Manzano), Evan Jager in the steeple, Ajee Wilson and Brenda Martinez in the women's 800 and a great women's 3000 featuring Genzebe Dibaba, Mercy Cherono, Sifan Hassan and Americans Jenny Simpson and Shannon Rowbury. In non-distance action, the men's high jump (Bohdan Bondarenko, Mutaz Essa Barshim) and 100 (Justin Gatlin, Kemar Bailey-Cole) should also be exciting.

 

Monaco is more than a distance meet as there were world-leaders in the women's 100 and men's 200. Evan Jager was in the men's steeplechase but he struggled over the final 400 and only finished sixth.
