Here is the preview of the Monaco Herculis meeting which should one of the finest of the entire season. Monaco comes at a great time each season and the performances show it. This is my first year missing in five years and I am missing it already! Stuart Weir will be covering the meet for us.

Shubenkov, Semenya, Lyles all ready for top marks
MONACO (MON): The 31st edition of EBS Herculis Meeting plans for very fast middle distances, specially men´s 1500 m and both steeple races. Shubenkov could be ready for European record in the hurdles and Semenya will go for another solo without pace help in the 800 m. Lyles who just celebrated 21 years can go for WL in the 200 m. Deepest quality in women´s pole vault and duel of the evening Naser vs Miller-Uibo in the 400 m.
