    It was just Hurta-Klecker's info (that she was asked for WR pacing in Florence).
    I thought that maybe there is such DL hype for publicity and better tickets sales (like with Laura Muir over the 1000 at Birmingham World Indoor Tour Final, where it was clear this year that she is not at her best and in record-breaking form) but there is no:

    There is also no hype in Kenyan press.
    She will maybe try. But her 3:58.57 opener from Doha is 5th this season. New ETH talent Birke HAYLOM born 2006 is 3rd with 3:57.66.
    I hope for Monaco but it's possible that Kipyegon's best chance was last year. Though she is still relatively young at 29. We'll see...

    So what? That 3:58.57 was a race which she won with a 58.7 last lap, and she beat Birke Haylom by 3.3 seconds that day. There’s absolutely nothing to suggest Kipyegon is out of form or on the decline.

    I actually think Tsegay would ruin it with crazy splits. Kipyegon will be fine alone but oddly i think Hassan would be a better "pusher" like she did Dibaba

    Also what are the odds that Kipyegon ends up with the Mile WR?

    Pacing seems smart - reminds me of Girma's WR pacing.

    Pacing was perfect by both Brooke Feldmeier and Sage Hurta-Klecker (as was by also American, Chanelle Price, in Dibaba's attempt). Sage was to clock 2:04 and she ran exactly this.

    However for me this was not smart but strange pacing, for a big negative split? It's interesting what Kipyegon could run with 2:02 first 800, while letsrun calculated that WR pace was 2:02.7.

    Rewatched the Doha race and it was clear she was shutting it down doing just enough to win.
