Unusually, two pacemakers in the men's 800. Looks like they did a good job, especially the first 400 meters was very stable pace (25.x, 50.x). 1.44.75 for Ismail

Perhaps the two pacemaker approach could be tried in some Jelimo race next summer, too?

If someone can give a few splits for the 5000,1000 and 2Mile it would be much appreciated. The video feed isn't cooperating with my computer...

Watching women's high jump, I started wondering about something. I guess a PB set in a jump-off wouldn't officially count as a PB? Has it happened somewhere that a competitor has exceeded his or her PB in a jump-off jump?

I tried a search on the message board but got an error:
SQL Error : 1062 Duplicate entry '762138105' for key 1

Guess my post was a bit unnessacary!
