55.84 for Emma in her first race of the season and btw first race counted in the ranking at all, since she started competing last year when the Tokyo qualification was interrupted

 

Hopefully she will cut those 48 hundreds in the next races.

Pretty impressive 9.96 from Fred Kerley on a chilly afternoon.

 

Europeans all well short of OQs.

10.31 Volko, well, the boy will have to pray really hard to get to the OG through the ranking.

And ditto for the women’s 1500m.  Bad day for Genzebe Dibaba. Ethiopian trials will be coming soon.

 Women’s 800m running just super hot right now, EJR for Keeley Hodgkinson.

 

800m guys must be kicking themselves, only Burgin goes with the pace, gets the win, WL & OQ.

what a race from Max Burgin, yeah just explained to the rest of field that the pacemakers are not here for nothing

It's safe to say Lynsey Sharp may not bother with any sort of comeback anymore

She’s having a baby year, actually.  Will be concentrating on her pace-making career come 2022, I think.

Vetter 94.20 in Zeleznograd!

Lordy, are those Sha’Carri Richardson’s real nails?  Obviously not planning a job as a violinist.
