Who cares about indoor racing anyway? It's beyond boring.
The race dynamics are trash compared to on a full size outdoor track.
And the races have little to no predictive value for the outdoor season, cause if they did you'd have the BU top performers all over the record lists by now.
He is world champion because he was the best on that day. If anything, it makes him more likely to lose tomorrow since he only wants to peak once in the summer.
This logic doesn’t work for me, besides the fact that Millrose isn’t tomorrow. Being the World Champ makes him less likely to win?
- Everyone wants to peak at the Olympics this year.
- Kerr won the Millrose 3k last year in 7:33 with a huge kick over 2x World Championship 5k 4th-placer Luis Grijalva
- Kerr ran 3:29.6 in June and won the 5th Avenue Mile in 3:47.9 in September
He’s not encased in bubble wrap until the morning of the championship final.
If Fisher is in any kind of shape he’ll win. In top form he will destroy Kerr and the rest of the field. Watch his performance in the DL Final. No one running Millrose is capable of that.
What's the excuse now? Did Fisher have an off day, or can you admit that no one stood a chance against Kerr today and I was right?
Grant Fisher has the substantially faster PB, so discounting him seems a bit strange. Kerr’s finish would be a huge asset in a slow race but is that what we’ll get? They are targeting 8:03.4. Let’s also note that Cooper Teare appears to be in great shape and his XC win is more impressive than Josh’s downhill half. I wouldn’t dismiss him at all in this race. Beamish running 13:04 also makes him dangerous. So this race will be competitive, favoring Josh if over 8:05 with Beamish right there. If it’s fast I’d lean Fisher and Teare.
I was wrong, but a tad underwhelmed by Grant (not the time, the lack of a kick), though in fairness he did a lot of work. Do think he needs to work on that aspect, when he is not just chasing. Kerr ran great though.
Does Brooks have enough resources to keep (afford) Josh Kerr? Seems to me that he could make more and have access to better amenities with Nike, adidas or Puma.
I don't know man...you predicted that Kerr wouldn't get top 3, and then he set a world record. You also said in another thread that Jakob is no longer the favourite to win in Paris, and you were rightfully downvoted to oblivion. I'm starting to think you might have the worst predictions on this entire board, and the moron title might belong to you rather than me.
This is another bad take. I get that you feel bad for doubting my Josh Kerr prediction so much, but Jakob is still clearly the favourite.
He said “a favorite” not “the favorite,” right? He remains a favorite like he was yesterday.
In that case, this is an even worse statement by Snowflakes. It seriously took a Millrose win for him to realise that the 1500m world champion will be one of the favourites at the Olympics?
