Crazy world, if you think men should compete with women.
I don't. I think governing bodies have fumbled this issue on multiple occasions. But, that isn't on the athletes. You're attacking the athletes and being a jerk.
Back to actual running and racing though - Naguse is 100% a gold medal threat.
I’d expect this, but I don’t think Nuguse would be that vulnerable to it. This is indoors and that makes a huge difference. I suspect if Sowinsky drops off after 900 or 1000 paced at 3:31 that Nuguse will be happy to run a 28.5-29.5 lap or two tempo before uncorking his finish. If he can run 25-27 again for the last lap to 300m, Katir won’t beat him and may in fact be vulnerable to Garcia Romo. Katir outlasts guys in the 1500, in the 3k/5k he can produce more of a kick but it is not like a Woody Kincaid kick even…it’s more a grinding last 600
Yeah as you saw Katir is a game competitor but he’s lacking some top end finish. Nuguse blew his doors off.
