The fantasy matchup in the men's 1500 (five Paris Olympic medalists across the 800/1500) delivered a thriller as Olympic 800 champ Wanyonyi (3:35.18) used a 51.58 last lap to beat Yared Nuguse, Cole Hocker, and Josh Kerr.

There were some entertaining races in Kingston, with Grant Fisher winning an extremely tactical 5,000 and Hiltz (1:58.23) holding off Diribe Welteji in the 800. But the big stadium was largely empty on Friday night.

Olympic 1500 medalists Cole Hocker, Josh Kerr, and Yared Nuguse will face  each other and Olympic 800 medalists Emmanuel Wanyonyi & Marco Arop and American record holder Bryce Hoppel twice in the span of less than 24 hours.

Michael Johnson's quest to reinvent track and field starts on Friday. Some BIG names like Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Gabby Thomas, and Cole Hocker have signed up for the new series, but some of the biggest stars in the sprint world like Noah Lyles, Sha'Carri Richardson, Grant Holloway and even Jamaicans like Kishane Thompson and Shericka Jackson have given it a pass. Some even will be competing elsewhere this weekend. Will the format that focuses on doubling be a hit with the fans?

GST may have an innovative format and lots of $$ but it appears nothing can solve track and field's problem of 1) it's hard to keep stars healthy and 2) force athletes to compete where you want them to compete. Cooper Teare, Dylan Jacobs and Heather MacLean will be there but 4 of the biggest names in Jamaican sprinting will not be - Kishane Thompson, Shericka Jackson, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Elaine Thompson-Herah. Nor will arguably the 4 biggest names in all of the short sprints - Noah Lyles, Letsile Tebogo, Julien Alfred, and Sha'Carri Richardson. *MB: Grand Slam Jamaica April 4-6 Full Field Released .

In the women's 100 hurdles, the entire 2024 Olympic podium has signed up to be GST Racers in 2025.

GST signed Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone & Gabby Thomas as Racers, but many of the sport's biggest names such as Noah Lyles and Sha'Carri Richardson have yet to commit to the series.

For many years, Kwemoi was defined by the 3:28.81 1500 he ran in 2014, which made him the fastest teenager in history. Now Kwemoi is an Olympic medalist and will join Grand Slam Track in 2025. How did it happen?

Hoare said he spoke with Ingebrigtsen about GST while cooling down in Zurich and that Ingebrigtsen said he was open to racing on the series but likely not in the 800/1500 group and that he did not like having to go race in the USA.
