World Cross Entries (Cheptegei v Kiplimo v Aregawi v Barega v Kamworor is on)

How will leo young do in u20s y’all think?

"That Norwegian beat him two times" and offered the luxury to beat him a year after he set a WR for the 5000m.

Lars Viren (1976, 13:24 5000m)

S. Aouita (1984, 13:05 5000m)

I didn't see for 30 years a runner with the finish power of Aouita.

Tadese Worku out with injury. Looks like ongoing visa issues as well with Ethiopia (8 athletes denied visa) and Kenya. Would be a real shame if anyone especially the big names miss due to visa issues (or injury).

I think Kamworor is on the upswing but back at his peak? Don’t know

Bummer about visa issues but assuming that’s the U20s vs the big-name pros.

As for Leo Young…maybe 50 seconds back and 15th?

Yeah I think mostly U20s due possibly to lack of travel history or something according to Emily Evans on Twitter.

What has Aouita got to do with anything I said, or that I was responding to?

The Mixed relay athletes are at the end of this document: https://assets.aws.worldathletics.org/document/63e5709ea305e5445cff23a6.pdf

Nice! I really think AUS is the favorite. Ethiopia and Kenya both have real question marks. GBR/USA/ESP aren’t sending A teams.

Caster Semenya in the mixed relay is interesting.

Lol

Well, well. Turns out THOUGHTSLEADER was right.

You can have that. I'll sit back with my gold and bronze.

There were some years where I was a supporter of Kiplimo but I only see him as a bad project.

Unless I see consistent performances from him, Aregawi or Cheptegei, I'm not in the taking for these runners who go high and low every month.

This post aged well.

Well I nailed 1 and 3. Tougher time sorting out the Kenyans! Got 4 out of the top 5. Kipkorir ran a cagey race and I think he thought more guys would die. Kamworor and Ebenyo both exceeded my expectations. Hit on Sawe exactly. Pretty close on team scores though Ethiopia strong pack beat out Uganda with an off race from Isaac Kibet.
