Saturday’s adidas Grand Prix has the big names to warrant fast times, including the world’s fastest man Usain Bolt making his first appearance in the U.S. at the place where he first set his 100m world record. However, with the forecast calling for a 50% chance of rain and winds 10-15 mph, mother nature may get in the way.

Men’s 5000m 1:37pm ET
With the opposite of ideal weather conditions, don’t expect this 5K to be like some of the other Diamond League 5K races this season. The name of the game will be “Standard Chasing,” as American road 5K record-holder Ben True will be hoping to dip under the 13:23 IAAF “A” standard. He’s got his 10K standard, but True has said his main focus is still the 5K. We’re thinking this race may be the final test. Will True enter in BOTH the 10K/5K at the U.S. Championships? Or will his decision be based off of this New York City race? With four sub-13:00 men entered, obtaining the standard shouldn’t be an issue.



And how will 3:29 1500m man Nick Willis fair? His 13:20 PB is from last spring, and he recently ran 13:22 in February. This is his spring debut, so anything is possible for one of the sport’s most interesting personalities.

Women’s 800m 2:25pm ET
The women’s 800m will be a little Prefontaine Classic rematch between two of America’s best, Ajee Wilson and Brenda Martinez. Wilson’s 1:57.87 stands at No. 2 in the world right now, and Martinez is bound to want to fire back after making a hard move at Pre and losing in the final 150m. World Indoor Champion Chanelle Price has yet to break 2:00 this spring, and Molly Beckwith-Ludlow just recently accomplished that feat at the Music City Distance Carnival. Could this be an American sweep? This may just be a race that proves how good the U.S. 800m ladies are in 2015.

Men’s 800m 2:45pm ET
Seven Americans will toe the line against the world’s greatest, David Rudisha, in this highly anticipated debut for favorite Duane Solomon. Solomon’s last 800m race was technically his gold medal from World Relays in the 4x8, but hasn’t raced the open event since last September’s Continental Cup. The defending U.S. Champion will battle with Rudisha, who ran 1:44.94 in March. Frenchman Pierre-Ambrose Bosse looks like the favorite with his season best 1:44.42.

Americans Robby Andrews, Matthew Centrowitz, Leo Manzano, Ryan Martin, Michael Rutt, and Andrew Wheating will all be there to keep the crowd entertained. Though it's assumed that most of these men will entered in the 1500m in Eugene in two weeks, the Centro/Leo battle is always fun to watch.

Men’s 200m 2:54pm ET
The man himself Usain Bolt will be the main event, if only for under 20 seconds. Bolt is returning to the United States for the first time since 2008, where he first broke the 100m
world record in 9.72.

My bags are packed and I'm finally heading back to New York after all these years #AGPNYC #NYDiamondLeague

Bolt’s entered in the 200m, and ran 20.13 in Ostrava last month. It’s likely he won’t be challenged, and American gold medal hopeful Justin Gatlin is not entered. But nevertheless, people love to watch the man run. And he loves to put on a show. Conditions may not be ideal, but a sub-20 second 200m wouldn’t be surprising (Florida’s Dedric Dukes ran 19.99 in the rain at the SEC Championships). Gatlin's WL of 19.68 looked darn good at the Pre Classic, but will Bolt put that to rest?
