You're correct on all three statements, ^ared definitely needs some killer instinct and conqueror spirit to go with his immense talent.
He is way, Way, WAY too mellow and don't GO AFTER the positioning, to setup for the W, with authority.
I borrowed the text below from the famous speech at the opening of the movie Patton. Yared needs to commit this to body and soul….if he really wants to take on the likes of Kerr and Jakob.
“When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, the big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. Now, I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose a (1500). Because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.” George Patton
Except that Americans have lost *plenty*, and Patton was completely full of sh*t, and was a literal Nazi-sympathizer.
Find someone a hell of a lot better to fake-quote.
I wish Holmes had raced a little more aggressively. She saved a lot for the last 75. There was room on the backstretch to get closer without being too close to Klaver. I think she would beat her in an outdoors 400 right now.
Holmes is nowhere near fit enough to do that right now. The Dutch may not be as naturally gifted, but they graft like all hell. Sometimes it really shows.

Would she ever steeple again? She was good at it in the NCAA but hasn't done it since then. You'd think that beating Chepkoech in the 3k makes her a favorite for gold.
? This is what I'm talking about though. He runs to podium.
Come on man. He's barely a year out of college and he's in the conversation for Olympic Gold and World Record. This is far from the most important race of the year for *anyone*. He's not built for indoor success. He wants to beat Ingebrigtsen and believes he can do it now. He is by no means satisfied to be second tier.

I don’t get how you can say nowhere when she was gaining on her rapidly and ran out of track. Anyhow agree to disagree, we’ll see outdoors.

She didn't run out of track. It's 400m. She was only gaining because Klaver ran a much harder opening 200m, ergo she was slowing down quicker in the final 50m than Holmes.
Holmes ran a great series of races, but the reality is both Dutch women were better.
Yes, let's see what happens outdoors, but that's shoulda woulda coulda. As it stands today, the Worlds current top 3 are the women that finished in that order in Glasgow. Outdoors we wipe the slate clean.
