Shanghai Diamond League on Friday

Fields appear to have gotten a "where is Grand Slam Track now ye fancy fuckers?!" boost


Worryingly No Adeleke she has been slated to open up here.

I'd prefer to see her race lots I think she needs to feed the beast as it were

Fannying about breaking 300m NR is grand and all but I want to see her knock the pretenders down a peg or two

Mark English in the 800m

not sure what the story with telly is I'll figure that out on Friday

Yeah if she's not injured she should be racing. Christ she must be very ring-rusty at this stage - I mean at a global lead level. The field that's there would have been ideal - some, but not all of the big dogs.

No 1,500 and no 5,000 for the men so they must have had hassle getting lads to travel. Some lash of Kenyans in the 3,000. Any word on McPhillips and what he's at? Has he finished with the dentist?

Women's 1,500 looks like a decent race, but a win for Hull.

300m Hurdles - LOL.

Mondo is entered in the pole vault - I wonder how his training is going this year.

No word of McPhillips AFAIK.

Him and Sarah Healy and a few others would want to be shedding the winter plumage soonish too
 
Whoops, I missed the W200 on the first look. That looks like a good old dust-up - some serious talent, including your old doll the Hunt beor too Guapo. Jackson is back(son) - I wonder has she another full Olympic cycle in her. Sha'Carri is going to tog out as well. Race of the night I reckon
 
Mens Hun drit for me Bill

Lachy should be fit as a fiddle while the rest of them are trying on the new spikes for the first time.

Good call - Lachy arriving with that Aussie season under his belt.

Sha'Carri and the boyfriend are surely saving the bobs with a double room at the Shanghai Hilton - LOL, I wonder who has been assigned as their driver
