Has anyone been able to watch this meet on the internet!? I've tried for the last 2 hours and failed miserably to find a live stream! :0(

Kaki was taken through 200m in 25.06 and 400m in 51.18 (both the pace makers' times). He led through 600m in 1:20.22 and 800m in 1:48.94. So his splits would probably have been something like: 26.0, 52.0, 1:20.2, 1:48.9, 2:16.2 (25, 27, 28.2, 28.7, 27.3)

Tobias Scherbarth looked really good in men's PV (which he won with a 5.76 PB, nearly clearing 5.81).

I must say though that these make me a little suspicious...

1     OLIVER, David  	USA		=WL 	7.45	0.119
2 	 BORISOV, Evgeniy 	RUS		=WL 	7.45	0.166
3 	 BROWN, Joel 	USA			7.48	0.169
4 	 SEDOC, Gregory 	NED			7.52	0.114
5 	 FAULK, Dexter 	USA			7.53	0.149
6 	 TURNER, Andrew 	GBR			7.61	0.131

For one thing, Oliver's start looked more like his usual 0.2x.

2. Alminova 8:28.49 :shock:

:evil: :evil: :evil:

Hingst must have gone completely mad. instead of trying the new NR of 4.72 and defeating Murer, she went immediately to 4.77.

[eldrick]

Alminova 8:28.49 :shock:

blimey, that's got to be worth 8'21/8'22 outdoors, not bad for a gal with a 8'56pb last year !

[Jamaican Sensation]

does anyone know where Pickering disappeared to?

[Sinafan]

not bad for a gal with a 8'56pb last year !

That's one way to put it ...

[doug091463]

she is legit, she ran has a personal best of 4:02 for 1500 and she has run 2:34 for 1k this year. when i saw the start list i thought maybe she is the rabbit for this race apparently she was racing, her previous credentials at shorter distances make this possible.

for comparison matt tegenkamp has a personal best of 29:59 for 10k, but his 5k best of 13:04 make it likely he can run WELL UNDER 28 minutes for 10k.

[eldrick]

4'02/2'34 do not indicate 8'21/8'22 ability

they indicate just a 3rd class ruskie 800/1500 gal, not ~ euro record holder calibre over 3k

[Smoke]

Pickering was snowed in and never made it to the meet
