if they're just going for A standard than it will be no faster than 27-25
That's most likely the case, and would be major PR's for Levins and Derrick.

I know that it's how the Japanese corporate sponsorship system works, but there's something that sounds funny to me about runners being sponsored by pharmaceutical companies.
He's actually sponsored by a sports drink maker that is a subsidiary of a larger company that makes pharmaceuticals.

This is anything but stacked. This is a second class field which will make for a tired, uninteresting race. Name one runner in that race who I should get excited about?
Dude, if you feel that way then it sounds like you need to find something else to get excited about.
Der Solinsky lauft nicht?
Where is Galen Rupp he would smoke all these fools.

cam levins should be able to break 27 if the pace is good.
Hey, don't go way out on a limb like that, Buddy. He should be pushing 26:20 if the weather is good and the pace makers do their jobs.

Do you remember the last time Rupp competed in this race? One of the guys on this list beat him.
I don't see the pace going out too crazy fast. Sub 27 is a ridiculous prediction. 13:45 would be a nice 5k. Levins and Derrick SHOULD both run big PR's.

Most of them are low 28 types.
My thoughts as well. I wouldn't exactly call this a "stacked" field.
No one talking about Chelanga??!

Never say never.
Harry is the latest "young gun" from Australia. Coached by my mate Sean Williams in Sydney, he trains with Ben St Lawrence and does a lot of his training barefoot or in vibrams. In fact he ran a sub 29 minute 10k relay leg in Chiba back in December wearing those things. On current form he ran 13:35 ish (I think) in Hobart in February, and I think he might already have a 10k Olympic "B" qualifier from Zatopek. If he's on form this weekend, conditions are good, and everyone brings their A game; he should get the A qulifier. Don't know if he'll be running in vibrams, though.
Harry Summers is an Aussie who always runs barefoot/minimalist....
STACKED!
No one has broken 27 mins in that race.
This isn't east africa bro. 2 north americans have run sub 27 and neither are in this race so it must be a bunch of scrubs, says the 36:xx 10k guy.
He'll lead for at least a mile, probably 2K, until things get serious and they realize that he won't be challenging that 27 border.
