Can Grant Fisher or Alicia Monson win the 2022 Diamond League 5000 final on Wednesday?

Chebet with the win. Looked like Hassan drifted out to block Monson from passing.

Chebet drifted as well

Monson never had a chance.

Grant will knock a few pylons over, and step on the concrete three or four times.

I was thinking what the difference was here from the 3k. Chebet ran much better here obviously, as did Kipkemboi. Taye and Tsegay weren’t in Lausanne. Probably the most obvious thing is there was a 3:03 K from 3-4K. It seemed that when Monson took the lead everyone took her seriously and since they were rested from that K they weren’t troubled at all by the injection if a little pace. Chebet and Kipkemboi wasted less energy jockeying and saved more for the last 150.

Fisher/Krop exacta box feels like easy money. Gets fuzzy after that.

Krop
Fisher
Lobalu
Kipkorir
Kejelcha

Barega is a mystery to me. He’s racing a half this weekend. Higher than 7th today would shock me. DNF would not.

Aregawi.
