Herculis Meeting

[2 cents]

One glance at the start lists gives one the impression that there could be a world record set here in the women's 800 meters....

Yup, I saw that too. Pretty darn certain WR to boot!! It was very clever of her to race the men until she was ready for this attack on the WR! :lol:

Symmonds

Have others considered that maybe Symmonds is not that talented and maybe has "maxed out" his potential??? I am not sure that he is capable of much more than 1:45, which will be lucky to get him into the final at WC or Oly games.

Good morning!
Although the Monaco meet does not have the sexy names - Bolt, Isi, Gay, etc. - the fields for some of the events (as of Sunday) are outstanding. Look at the women's 1500, all 4 hurdles races, the mens 800, women's TJ, women's HJ, plus Merritt in 400, VCB in w100 and Spotakova vs Nerius in wJav. Besides which, it rarely rains!!! I would take this caliber meet over a few STARS anytime!

Nick is only 25 - I think he's got some time to develop yet. (Also...he's already run 1:44.1)

It could be that his injury earlier this year has thrown him off in a decently significant way. Personally...I think I'll be interested to see what happens to him, and all the other US up-and-comers, in 2010 - when there's no championship meets and times are all that matter.

Can't wait for the Symmonds-Borza showdown!

Like the 400mH lineup too.... Like to see how this one unfolds.

[Flumpy]

Presumably there are 2 races.

Why have 2 races in the mens 400h? Seems a bit random.

It's probably an A and a B race I think.

I don't see Jeter in the lineup on the site. Any official start lists up yet?
