Maybe Wightman still makes it to Paris but seems unlikely. Assuming he doesn’t, this changes things big time. Kerr would feel he has by far the best kick in the field. I don’t think he is concerned with hocker. I thought there was a chance he would take the lead earlier on like at Pre but doubtful with no wightman. Not good for Ingy. If Kerr underestimates Hocker’s kick, this could be putting Hocker in a great position for gold. I still think Kerr has the better kick but I also wouldn’t be surprised if hocker is even fitter than we’ve seen

Why would Kerr worry about Hocker?

Where did I say he was? Literally said I don’t think he’s concerned with him.

Because he has just seen Hocker kick by Nuguse in a 3:30 race. Kerr is the better athlete and my favourite for gold, but he's an idiot if he isn't thinking about Hocker after that. Same as he should also be worrying about Cheruiyot and, of course, Jakob.
