HOT takes for Tokyo Worlds. Make 'em HOT! 🔥

Jakob winning the 5000.

Japan win several surprise medals.

Shovedopey Richardson wins nothing.

Lyles doesn't win any golds and pretends to be happy.

Mills ruins 5k by tripping.

Yan Ziyi (world ranked 3 in javelin but ineligible to compete as only 17) will throw further than the gold medal-winning throw in Tokyo

Not Hot enough.

Jakob winning the 1500m and losing the 5000m to Laros now that is a spicy meatball.

The 1500m I don't think is out of the Question, Phanuel Koech will play the role of Timmy C and provide the tow.

Kerr, Hocker et all will be marking Laros leaving the Gap for Jakob.

Laros plays Coe to Jakob's Ovett and gets out kicked in the 5000m

Also how about Kejelcha in the 10,000m the nearly man bags a gold before heading off to the roads. A gutsy solo effort from 7000m pain and anguish etched in his face as the pack narrow with 20m remaining and a dive over the line.

Then we have the unceremonious dumping of the great El Bakalli into retirement by Freddie Ruppert upending 40 years of steeple Hegemony by African runners.

How about SML doesn't medal at all?

She either DNS, withdraws before the final, or blasts out ahead of Naser & is overtaken before the line by Naser, Paulino & AN Other.

That would be something :D

Hodgkinson's lack of races catches up with her and Werro springs a surprise.

Tentoglou misses LJ medals

MHS gets it right and lands the 400 title

Laros falls in his heat and leaves the 1500 wide open again (I hope that this does not happen)

NOZOMO TANAKA TAKES DOUBLE GOLD IN THE 1500 AND 5000 TO A RAUCOUS HOME CROWD

She is then immediately declared to replace Naruhito as the new Empress of Japan

Håkon Moe Berg medals in the 1500

1) Brazier wins gold

2) Strand gets bronze

3) Fisher gets bronze in 10k

4) Lutkenhaus makes 800m final

5) Jakob does not medal

How about the 5000m is won in 12:45 or quicker

the 5000m specialists will realise that Laros, Jakob and Hocker represent more of a danger to their medal chances and try to control the race from the front using Jakob/Tim C 1500m tactics.

The squeeze will start from 3 miles to go and only the strongest will survive

More US than Kenyan distance medals. Yes, men and women combined.

George Mills trips one of the big hitters in the 5000m and they do not get advanced to the final

We need more drugs busts not medals...

In the final event in Tokyo (I confirmed it's last on the timetable), the USA men's 4x100m relay team shocks the world by getting the stick around with clean exchanges and wins gold. Then, in a role reversal from Budapest, Sha'Carri Richardson tackles Christian Coleman in celebration. While he's on his back, she gives him a kiss and tells him she loves him. He says he loves her too. After they get up, she pulls out an engagement ring, drops to one knee, and proposes to him on the track. He accepts, and they kiss again. The moment instantly goes viral, becoming the most watched video in the sport's history.

Max Burgin wins gold in the 800

Grant Fisher becomes the first man Since Farah to win the 5/10 double

Ruppert takes down El B for the steeple gold

At least three non-Africans will win medals in the marathons

Lutkenhaus wins gold.

Georgia Hunter-Bell causes an irrevocable split in The M11 track club by kicking past Golden Girl Keely for 800m Gold.

Hunter Bell quietly annonces a coaching change next April and never again hits the heights she one attained.

Arop wins the gold. Luk, Bergin, and Hoppel go out in the semis.

How about...Laros is ambushed by Jonah Koech, Ethan Strand and Josh Kerr's kicks - having never raced them in 2025 - and misses out on the medals completely.
