Kiprop and Kipyegon are ready
OSLO (NOR): Famous Bislett Games as 7th IAAF Diamond League of the year will be highlighted by fast Dream Miles for first time by men and women. Great duels by Schippers-Thompson, Lavillenie-Barber. The meet is nearly sold out and no-wind is predicted for the event with good temperatures.

Event by event

Men

100m – Three athletes in the field have broken the 10 second-barrier this year: Kim Collins 9.93, Ameer Webb 9.94 and Mike Rodgers 9.97 but Andre de Grasse is racing himself into form with a fast win over 200m in Birmingham.
Mile – Asbel Kiprop is looking for his fifth Dream Mile win. Pacemakers have been asked to hit 800m in 1:51 and 1200m in 2:47. Should be fast, first sub 3:50 of the year.
5000m – A third DL win for Muktar Edris? Pacemakers have been asked to reach 3km in 7:44. WL very possible.
400m hurdles – Michael Tinsley will be looking for his third DL win of the season. He is narrowly the fastest on paper this year at 48.74.
Triple jump – Wide open event. American Chris Benard has the best season’s best at 17.19m.
Pole vault – Should be a head-to-head between Olympic champion Renaud Lavillenie and world champion Shawn Barber.
Javelin – Another excellent field has been assembled for one of the event’s highlights. Top names include world champion Julius Yego, Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott and world-leader Thomas Rohler.
Shot put – Joe Kovacs leads the world rankings by a large margin with 22.13m from the Eugene DL. Konrad Bukowiecki makes his DL debut.

3000m steeplechase – The pacemakers have been asked to reach 2km in 6:03. Will world champion Hyvin Kiyeng break the nine minute-barrier after running 9:00.01 in Eugene?
100m hurdles – Brianna Rollins and Jasmin Stowers will be looking to capitalise in the absence of the World leader.
High jump – A typically wide open event. Levern Spencer leads the Diamond League race thanks to a win in Shanghai and a runner-up finish in Eugene.

Hey @ATT, with all the money we pay for wifi and digital services, when do you think that your actual products will work? Just a question from a frustrated user! Hmmm, maybe other companies we can ...work with? #runblogrun
