World Indoor 1500 Prediction: 1. Hocker, 2. Nordas, 3. Kessler

It will be very difficult to predict this race. The tactic et error of runners will be the factor that influence the result.

Unless one go hard for something like 3:33+

1. Hocker

2. FoggDog

3. Kessler

Hobbs can but only if he leads the whole race and makes it a fast one.

Would be very surprised to see Fogg medal but if he does would be very happy. Seems like a great guy from his videos. Doubt he has the finishing speed to be up with the best, but let's wish him the best. After his fall, in the heat, he got up and wasted energy in rejoining the leaders and even briefly leading before fading. For the final, can finish top 5, I think, in a fast race, 3:32-3:34 type race ...but suspect it might be tactical and won in 3:37-3:39. In a last lap in 52-53 (tactical race) seconds...he would not be able to match that type of speed, I think.

I don't know. I thought Hobbs ran a nice low risk Q'er to get thru. i had 1:51.x for last 800?

Adding two to the field makes it harder to navigate a bunch of stuff

14 is too many , and i doubt we see this get strung out in a very honest pace, hope I am wrong

That's 7, dingbat.

Hocker, Kessler and Nordas for the medals.

I want Fogg to win but he is not experienced enough indoors tactically. This isn't the only time he has fallen at the start of a race, his running style is too big for the tight indoor track for him to run unimpeded. When he ran 3.49, he had a clear run in lane one. Not impossible to get a medal depending on how the race is run. If it's bunched up and slow then that will work against him.

Kessler seems like a good tactician plus he's obviously good. I think he can steal a medal.

Hocker and Nordas is where the money is.

What did I tell you! And I had him FTW at 16/1
