Nico got a great kick.i just haven’t seen it at the outdoor championship level.
Didn’t time it perfectly in the 10,000, and probably pushed too much in the 5,000 to make it fast and that cost him. Not too worried about him, it is hard to get right and I do wonder if he should consider going 5,000 only.

Outkicking Grant Fisher in the US championship 10K doesn't count?
I mean Grant got him back in the 5k. Nico was sitting behind Grant who was leading the last k of the 10k race so no surprise he had more left in the tank than Grant.
He had a great race at world cross, seems like he has been off since then but shouldn’t be too worrying yet. I also checked his strava and he has been consistent.
