I will answer the question. While Galen has no chance to medal, he is not aware of that. He knows he has no chance to medal at 5000m. He actually did medal at 10000m, even though he has no chance anymore. The marathon is a known unknown for Galen. Therefore, he rolls the dice in the known unknown as opposed to the known known (5000m). Got it?
Finally, a decent reply. Thank you.
But why is he running the 10000 and the marathon?
He does not run the 5000 because he feels he has no chance.
He is running the marathon because he feels he has a medal chance, so he rolls the dice.
Why is he running the 10000?
