i think the womens 5000 metres could potentially be the race of the whole championships,between these two ethiopians.Almaz likes to run hard,and im sure she will.If genzebe is going to beat her,id say almaz will make her work hard for it.Genzebe dibaba has greater leg speed,but the two women have similar ability over 5000 metres.Provided both women set a good pace,and dont just sit and kick,i think this race will be the showstopper of the year.Yes,im aware there will be an outcry over them probably taking drugs,but as a race itself it could be awesome.

Running hard is not going to do it. Genzebe would simply follow her and outkick her in the last lap.

Almaz must use her steeplechase experience, with sudden quick changes of speed, and hopefully that would wear out Genzebe.

I don't understand why Almaz spent too much energy qualifying.

It didn't make sense at all.

She will need some of that wasted energy tomorrow.

15:09 is not wasting energy for Ayana

I don't think this is a guaranteed victory for Genzebe. If Almaz is smart and runs at near world record pace from the beginning, the 1500s in Genzebe legs will show. Realistically, it would be almost impossible for Genzebe to run in the 14 teens with 4 races over 9 days. However, if this is your typical WC barely sub-15 minute pace, Genzebe will put on a freak show the last 400 meters.
