A interesting turn of events in Lausanne in the men’s 800 meters.

American Josh Hoey was 4th at the U.S championships and did not make the team for the World Championships.

Today he beat the defending Olympic champion.

He can still make it to the World Championships if he wins the Diamond League final. His 1:42.82 today was a great time considering cool and rainy conditions.

A soggy 5k in Lausanne that resulted in a big group still in it with 400 meters to go. Isaac Kimeli had a crazy fast last 200 meters (25.47) to grab the win.

Wet and cool conditions slowed what would have otherwise been a very fast race.
