The new threat of Wanyonyi (he seems to have indicated that he’ll be running the 1500m at Worlds soon, either this year or next) will certainly incentivize the rest of the Big 4 to help Jakob make the race fast. Last year they didn’t care, because the slower the race the better for them. But now a slow race will just get you outkicked by Wanyonyi, whereas he hasn’t proven he can hang in a 3:28 type race. Will we see Jakob, Kerr, and Nuguse teaming up to share the lead and make the race fast to defeat a common enemy?
