Seems quite unrealistic that Jenkins wins and Kipchirchir not top 3
Where's Mead???????
Jenkins? As in the guy who got smoked last night will win? Maybe top 3 if he has a great race, but your fanboyism is bizarre to say the least. You just posted this so you could mention him as number one. Go massage his bunions.
With the Olympic standard being softer this year (28:00 vs. 27:45 last year), it will likely be a more tactical race, as no one will have to worry about running top-3 AND getting the standard in the same race.
I like Jenkins' chances in a 27:40-28:00 race that finishes in 2:00-2:05 over the final two laps.
Still, Jenkins is essentially the same runner as Hill. Both would be great 5000 runners on the international stage.
