Re: 4 Huge Names For Pre

I think this was mentioned when the IAAF finally figured out the roster of events for the whole DL series, but this is what Pre is offering

Eugene m200, 1500, 5000, 110H, LJ, SP, DT
w100, 400, 800, St, 400H, PV, TJ, JT

(they're free, of course, to add more events to the program if they want; they just won't have DL point-earning potential)

(these are just the "official" event names: 1500s can be miles, 5000s can be 3000s or 10,000s; obviously m1500 will be a mile at Pre)

Re: 4 Huge Names For Pre

Asafa is usually a fixture at Pre(barring early season injury) but since there is no Men 100m there, I guess he is out this year unless he plans to challenge Tyson at 200m

Re: 4 Huge Names For Pre

There WILL be a men's 100 at Pre. It just will not count in the Diamond League points. See what gh said above. I know for a fact there will be a 100 meters for the men.
