Hocker, Nuguse, Hunter et al. racing in Italy this Sunday night

3:33 low is very solid for Nuguse, especially winning by two seconds. 1:52 was too fast, as seen by the 58 third lap, or if no one was with the pacer at 1:52 and their third lap was under 58, that again shows 1:52 was too fast. A little competition could have gotten him the tenths under 3:33, of course. But the other thing is that when you win by two seconds, you would probably go faster with the winner significantly faster. I like Nuguse's chances at 3:31 in a Jakob special. Maybe someone will drop out of Zurich 1500m and he'll get in.

Really sorry to see a poor race for Kessler. He'll be back.

Yes, I know.

Nuguse was more like 57.7 on the last lap.

I don’t know if there are any meets left in Europe (other than Zurich).

However, Nuguse is in PB shape, Hocker is rounding into shape, Coscoran just ran a PB. Paulson still seems to be in decent shape.

The Kenyan U20 guy still looks fit.

i’m sure that if there is a (small) meet somewhere out there and a race organizer made a few phone calls, a lot of these guys would certainly go in order not to waste their fitness.

it’s kind of what happened in Lucern and today in Padova. Pretty much the whole field in Lucern had SB faster than MR…. The field was stacked for such a small meet.

it could happen to an even smaller meet.

…also SB for Ramsden and PB for Riva

…also in Berlin. PB for George Mills (3:35.3), PB for Parsons (3:36.2), SB for Bibic (3:36.3)…

A lot of guys are in PB shape very late in the season for some reason.

When did I say 3:32.0?

"Are you still doubting that Yared is due for a 3:31-3:32 in a fast race or do you recant?"

He was a second away from 3:32.3 of good set up fractions, it is what it is

its no even near 3:31, and 3:32.9 is 3:32.9 NOT 3:32 ....3:32 is 3:32.0 Not sure how you count tenths, I always loved guys who said well he ran 3:32.. when someone may have run 3:32.96...

I say Yared would go sub 3:31 in Monaco with good pacing and weather.

Dead serious. He was only three tenths from 3:32 and he won easily.

So> You are one of those? 3:32.9 is NOT 3:32.0, they are much much different
