Did the calculations myself. For Weir, 70m (and 2nd) is probably the bare minimum, 71m (28th on the road to Paris) should be more than enough. 

 

1199 for Tunks, if she can go 61.50m, and grab first won’t be enough. 63.00m will give her 1227 points, and will slot her into 30th. 

1104 points and 59.07m for Tunks at the Harry Jerome Classic, improving to 35th (+1) and 1109 points in the road to Paris.

So at Nationals, a 62.00m be enough to increase her total to 1134 points, and 30th. 61.00m would put her in 31st, and 1132 points. 
 

62.50m should be enough, and 61-00m-62.00m would be cutting it close.

I thought De Bues Stafford was focusing on the women’s 5000m and not the 1500m?

Alysha Newman with a new SB of 4.61m in women’s pole vault at the Paavo Nurmi Games!

 

Needed 3rd attempt clearances at that and 4.51m though.

OLYMPIC QUOTA!!

 

Andre DeGrasse 10.00 in the men’s 100m, it’s his best time since the Zurich Diamond League in September 2021!

 

Jerome Blake also with a very decent 10.17.

Definitively seems like he's rounding into form at the right time.

Bad start too, 9.8 high (would either be an =PB or outright PB) might be possible at Olympic Trials, depending on the conditions. 
 

Promising signs for his 200m, he might need to better his 19.62 in order to win one of the minor medals (Lyles is untouchable, should be between him, Tebogo, Bednarek, Hughes, Knighton for silver and bronze)
