Upset City!

Tebogo became the youngest to win the event, while the US went 2-3.

Lyles was noticeably in distress following the race - the medial staff tended to him. Lyles was seen masked for the semifinals, and finals prior to racing. 

Update: It was revealed after the race that Lyles was diagnosed with COVID two days ago. 

1:35 p.m. EST: Women's 1,500 Semifinals

Georiga Bell kicked late to take the second spot in 3:59.59, which was just ahead of Ellie St. Pierre, who finished third in 3:59.74. Laura Murr, Klaudia Kazimeirska, and Aqueda Marques rounded out the final three of six qualifying spots.

How It Played Out

The pack opened with a 1:06 quarter and everyone still in contention for the top-six qualifying spots. The pace remained around that 66-mark, as the pack hit the 800 in 2:13

Muir went to the front at the bell, along with St. Pierre. Kipeygo kicked down the backstretch to the lead and cruised away with the Heat 1 victory. 

Heat 2: Dribe Welteiji took win in a fast 3:55.10, while Jesscai Hull took second in 3:55.40, and Nikki Hiltz took third in 3:56.17. Gudaf Tsegay, Susan Lokayo Ejore, and Agathe Guillemot finished under 3:57, and within the top-six qualifying spots. 

Guillemot's 3:56.69 was a French national record.

How It Played Out

Heat 2 came out hot. 

Gudaf Tsegay jumped to the front and hauled the pack through an opening lap of 1:01. Dribe Welteiji, Jessica Hull , and Nikki Hiltz followed.

The pace remained sizzling through the second lap as Tsegay led them through in 2:05. 

Behind Tsegay there was no movement. 

She led the stretched out pack at the bell, which they hit in 2:54, and the 1,200 in 3:10. 

Hull made a move on the outside down the backstretch, along with Welteji. 

Two two telescoped away from the pack into the final straight to go 1-2, with both under 3:56.
