This 1500 field has such quality that the three Americans may not medal. It's possible that one (or more?) might medal, but if they all race well and don't medal I don't see it as a major disappointment, just a recognition of how damn hard it is to medal.
It really is an incredible field. The focus here is on Jakob v. Kerr plus the 3 Americans who looked spectacular in the semis. But then there are 3 other sub 3:30 men in Komen , Cheruiyot, and Nordas. The Netherlands athletes are above 3:30 but both are young and improving. Leaving the Italian runner who could potentially run a PR for last place.
Whatever happens I feel we are about to see one of the all time best 1500m races.
