The world's will likely be run in 31-low so having 4:06 speed going into world's has got to give her lots of confidence. But she has to be right in there with 400m to go to have any chance.
Except for the fact that both Ethiopians will be capable of kicking in 60 or faster off that type of pace, and I'm assuming that at least one kenyan will be able to as well. Flanagan's best hope is a race similar to Beijing: a fast, sustained hard run by the leaders w/ one of two of the favorites having an off day. Pure speculation here, but i think that if she can run around 30:20 at the WCs, she should have a decent shot at bronze.
