Wow. That was a properly good women's steeplechase. Sub 9 minutes... just.

Documented results are slow to come by, seeing as there's no live results function on the Eugene DL webite.
Men's 400m coming up should be a good'un. |

James clocks 44.22 ahead of Merritt - bit slower than expected, but their rivalry has always been one to savour. That's Kirani's third Eugene win in succession.
Charlie Grice won the 'B' mile race with a 3:52.64 PB. |

It's interesting that Geoffrey Kamworor has opted to race the distance sprinters (Caleb Ndiku et al) in the 5,000m rather than last night's 10,000m.

It's another victory for Muktar Idris with a 12:59.43 WL. Kamworor was out in front for several laps and still clocked a 12:59.98 PB for second place - interesting!
Women's 200m up next - sub-22 for the winner could happen. |

Kendra Harrison 12.24 WL/AR (+0.7m/s) in the women's 100mH!! Jesus wept - she tore the field to shreds.

So that's what a seriously rapid 100m hurdles look like.
![]() You have to love it when you can sense a fast time coming in a sprint. |

I have the feeling that if Donkova's record is broken, it'll happen in the US Olympic trials, rather than the Olympics.

A couple of women's WRs over the barriers were under threat in Eugene!
Will either record go this year?Good run by Laura Weightman, especially for a season debut - her best time for almost 2 years. Stuart Storey takes such care over his pronunciation of Dafne Schippers but hasn't picked up yet on the correct pronunciation of Tori Bowie's surname. ![]() So, is it Daf-nuh, Daf-nee or maybe, even Daf-neh? And is it Shkippers, Shippers or Skippers? Can anyone confirm? |

With regards to Lake, she has pulled out of the Gotzis meeting and won't be contesting the second day. She's not fully recovered from injury yet, she posted this on Twitter:

And I get that the "sch" sound is very tough for the Brits, but in this case think of a ship (in fact, that is the Dutch translation; ship = schip = schippers; mind you the plural for schip is schepen )There ends your Dutch lesson for today. |

Meanwhile, KJT is struggling in Götzis and will have even trouble holding onto a top 3 finish at this rate
![]() She will probably start the 800m in sixth place. All the rest of the top 5 (except BTE) are great javeling throwers and BTE, Ikauniece and Schäfer won't lose that many points in the 800m. Anyway, would say that the current top 7 (with Rath replacing Vetter) + Jessica E-H, Broersen and Visser will probably be the top 10 at Rio. Obviously, we could always have a surprise Eastern Europe entry or even an American who suddenly starts performing

Kendra Harrison.
OMFG What a race! I didnt notice her at all last year? Did I? It seems the WR is likely to be broken soon, but we also seen it before; Stowers last year, Rollins a few years ago. US athletes coming from nowhere to make fantastic times, then they just slowly get wrose... Also, Semenya could be very close to the impossible 800 record this year. |

A real shame. Hopefully Bryant can get the qualification mark though. |

![]() But if she can manage 35m in the jav and around 2:20 in the 800m then she'll at least get the 6200pts needed for qualification out of the weekend. |

Louis Van Gaal pronunciation next time? British commentators and pundits still seem to vary between a soft and hard G.
