Hassan seems so content with her silver and race tactics. Maybe she just realizes that she has no chance against Kipyegon at this distance with so many races in her legs
I'm gonna go ahead and call Chicago for her. As a win.
I do not think Ethiopia is going to let Gudaf triple now. Kenya should probably push Chebet or Kipkemboi to go all-in on the 10,000 with Faith having the 5,000 on lock.
No, she should challenge herself and run the 800, 1500, 5000
You are telling me the 10k 1500, 5k isn’t a challenge? Lol
C’mon. Faith doing the Hassan triple is not nearly as interesting as Faith trying to take on Mu and Keely in the 800. You really think the 10 would be as big a challenge for her as the 800?

Theoretically, she “should” have 3 silvers- 10, 5, 15.
Race went to script. The only thing I would say - when Hassan moved up with 450 to go onto Kipyegons shoulder, I just don't know why you wouldn't go around go around her and go for it yourself. And she could have - she noticeably closed the gap then slowed back down as she got the shoulder.
I mean you have this big inspector gadget arm carriage deal going on that must be difficult to get around - the alternative is you think you are going to at some point kick past the WR holder in the 1500 and 5000? Again - running for 2nd in my opinion.
Impressed by Hassan. I love that she just puts herself out there. It’s impressive that she would have medaled thrice had she not fallen in the 10k. And she’s training for a marathon…
I think Hassan thinks of herself primarily as a marathon runner now. Speed for a silver in the 5,000, less than a half second behind the worlds best, will allow her to dominate once she permanently makes her move to the marathon, full time.
When is the last time we saw a marathon runner medal in a world championship 5,000, as a tune-up race during marathon training, 6 weeks pre-race?
Hopefully the mens 5k finalists take some notes... you don't leave the best 1500m runner in the field in the race that long. Hoping we see someone go to the front and pace out an electric mens 5k final

The triple gold has never been done in the 1500/5k/10k. What’s the point of doing the 800 when we damn well know she virtually has zero chance of winning against keely, moraa, and Mu. You have to fresh for that to have a chance.
