    Musau a real contender to make team Kenya:

    Krop- ran poorly after a 12:51 where he was 10th or so

    Kipkorir- dropped in 10k trials, poor races otherwise

    Kurgat- OK hard to beat

    Kwemoi- lousy all year, scrapped Monaco/sat out 10k trials

    Alamisi- really young, struggled in DL race

    C. Kemboi- merely OK all season

    Kiplangat/Kipkurui- might be happy with 10k spot, either way Musau as good at 5,000

    D. Kipkoech- won African U20 Trials, unclear if he’d go for senior team

    Think Musau is doing World University Games instead of Trials which is disappointing...

    I thought so too but then I checked the entries and saw only Collins Kiprotich. So let’s see, though I see he now has an IG video from the opening ceremony.

    I just saw the IG and thought he wouldn't be able to do both. Denis Kipkoech won the Africa U20 5000, not sure if he'll be back in time. Richard Etir ran a race in Japan - he had visa issue for Pre and doesn't look like he'll try the 5000. So could be a little watered down at trials, maybe some 10k guys will double back

    Read a local article that said he might do both, but it seemed it was undecided. It seems the date switch has maybe changed things so that the discretionary pick will be used much more (we’ve already seen Wanyonyi/Koech get rare byes). In that case, I could see Musau having a potential way in there considering how underwhelming everyone has been if two guys go through comfortably. My best guess is Alamisi, Krop and then Kipkoech/Musau somehow make their way in.

    Ok thanks thats interesting we'll see on Musau. Has the bye for Koech been confirmed? Hadn't seen anything on it but might have missed it

    Someone said Cram said it on the BBC broadcast, but of course they could make that up but I doubt it. It makes some sense to me, as they could probably have a good appeal to AK on this front.

    …and also the half marathon. Seems strange that he’s entered for distances he’s not done before
