Another month of running on the ground, maybe he can stay on Kejelcha.
Grant placed and ran as well as he did today because he ran smart. The other 3 (Grijalva, Barega, Girma) all went out with Yomif and Grant was content to chase from pretty far back and it benefitted him. If he had chased Yomif like they did, have to think he would've suffered.
Fisher is the best NA runner still, I feel this injury cost him a medal this year
Kejelcha has no idea how to peak, not sure what his coach is doing
Dude only beat Grijalva by 1s and this is Luis' 3rd 5000m in 10 days. In a tactical race where (where Grant doesn't have the best kick and as a history getting caught in traffic) seems hard to imagine him being ahead of Grijalva last week let alone in the medals. Definitely zero chance he beats Jakob or Katir.
Krop closed in a 52, Grijalva in a 53. Don't see Fisher beating Krop in those circumstances.

You’re handing this to Fisher over Luis because of a 1 second victory today? Luis just got 4th in the brutal heat of Budapest while Grant was relaxing. I think it’s an open question going forward, Grijalva vs Fisher at 5000.
Grant is way better over 10000 even if you give Luis the 5000, which I guess is fair

Krop positioned himself poorly, so maaaaybe if Grant hit it perfectly running up front you never know. But he was more likely to be fighting with the Ethiopians I agree.
I think Nuguse defeating the reigning 1500 world champ negates a 3:27 clocking. He has run 3:29.0x and no doubt in a properly paced race he gets into the 3:28:xx
Time aside, Nuguse timed the lean perfectly and if you asked him if he’d rather take a 3:30 finish and a DL win over a sub 3:29 and a runner-up, I bet you he’s taking the W and more prize money 💰

Luis competes for South America, that's why I said NA

I think Ahmed still has a pretty good claim to best North American distance (3000+) dude.
He does have the medal in 2021, but I don't think he's beat grant since
He has won their two most recent meetings and is 2-1 vs. Grant in the 5,000 since 2021. He beat him last year in the 5,000 in Eugene (5th vs 6th), and this year in the Golden Gala 5,000 (12:56, 10th to 11th).
