DL standings for events with finals in Brussels
In order of the meet schedule
W DT -- Perkovic 22, Perez & Samuels 7
This one is over, providing Perkovic shows up and competes "in a bona fide way"
M SP -- Kovacs & Storl 14, Clarke and Hoffa 4
Well, whoever beats the other in Brussels will win the diamond. They each have 3 wins.
W TJ -- Ibarguen 20, Rypakova 7, Koneva & Saladukha 4
Like Perkovic, Ibarguen just has to show up.
M PV -- Lavillenie 13, Filippidis 10, Wojciechowski, Braz and Kendricks 4
Lavillenie no-heighted in Berlin. If Filippis wins, he wins the diamond, as
2nd place only gets 4 points. No one else could pass Lavillenie.
W HJ -- Beitia 12, Chicherova 6, Kuchina & Licwinko 5 Palsyte and Vlasic 4
Beitia can clinch the diamond with 2nd or better. If Chicherova wins and Beitia gets 3rd,
they tie on points and wins, so Chicherova would win on the basis of better result in
the final. If world champ Kuchina wins (or Licwinko), Beitia would have to not score
for the former to win the diamond.
M 400H -- Jackson 14, Dutch 9, Culson 7, Van Zyl 4, Tinsley 3
Jackson may be unable to compete, and Dutch had a bad championships, as did Culson
and Tinsley. Wide open if Bershawn cannot compete.
M 100 -- Gatlin 12, Gay 6, Rodgers & Vicaut 5, Bracy & Powell 4
Gatlin unlikely to lose this.
Bolt is running the 200 and has no points, anyway.
M JT -- Vesely 15, Pitkamaki 9, Walcott & Yego 6
Pitkamaki is the only one with a chance, could reach 17 with a win, in which case
Vesely would win with a 2nd, tie with a 3rd. In that case, Pitkamaki would have 3
wins to 2 for Vesely.
M TJ -- Pichardo 16, Taylor 14, Craddock 3
Aside from the diamond race, this should be a great duel, with Pichardo out for
revenge, both perhaps chasing Edwards' WR. If one of them wins (who else?), he
also wins the diamond.
W 200 -- Felix 10, Tarmoh 9, Bowie, McGrone as Schippers 4
Who cares about the diamond? What a race this should be. Watch out for Bowie, too.
Felix certainly has the inside track on the diamond, as Schipper could only reach 12
with a win, so Felix could take the diamond with 2nd or 3rd, as she has two wins
and Schippers none so far.
W SC -- Nyambura 15, Ayalew & Kiyeng 9, Ghribi 4
Nyambura clinches with a 2nd. If Ayalew or Kiyeng wins (17), Nyambura ties with a 3rd,
but wins the diamond with three race wins.
M 800 -- The Zurich 800 was not the DL final.
Amos 12, Rudisha 6, Souleiman 5, Aman & Tuka 4
Amos ran 1:43 in Berlin, Souleiman is injured, and Tuka may not run (he only has
contested one DL meet this year, winning Monaco with the WL time. Amos clinches with a
2nd place; if he gets 3rd, Rudisha could tie him by winning, they would each have two
wins, but Rudisha would win the diamond based on winning the final.
W 100H -- Harper-Nelson & Nelvis and Stowers 10, Rollins 5, Porter 3
This event is incredible! The three leaders each have 2 wins, but neither Rollins
nor Porter is mathematically eliminated, being able to reach 13 or 11 with a win.
Harper-Nelson fell in the Zurich non-DL race, but edged Nelvis in Berlin (IWC).
Stowers ran today (9/6) in Padova, 13.29 into a 2.7 mps wind.
W 1500 -- Hassan 14, Seyaum 6, Simpson 5, Dibaba, Kipyegon & Muir 4
Hassan clinches with any points; if Seyaum wins and Hassan is 4th or worse,
Seyaum would win by virtue of winning the final.
W 400 -- McCorory 16, McPherson 10, Miller 6, SRR 4
With 4 wins, McCorory clinches with a 3rd place finish. No one except McPherson
can catch her.
M 5000 -- Farah & Kejelcha 6, Gebrhiwet & Longosiwa 5, Ndiku & True 4, I Koech 3,
Tanui, Alamirew & Willis 2
This race will decide it, as even Alamirew, Tanui or Willis could reach 10 points;
nobody has more than one win. If all these run, we will have placers 1-4, 6 and 8
from the WC, plus the 10,000 gold and bronze medalists.
There will also be a M 200 featuring Usain Bolt, and a non-DL M 400, scheduled before the TV
window, so probably not an elite event.
No provisional entry list yet, but they are advertising some of the matchups, like Felix
vs. Schippers, Kovacs vs. Storl.
Cheers,
Alan Shank
