Coburn pred in the 800, 1500, and 3k since 2020, setting her up nicely for this year. 6 seconds off her lifetime best in her first steeple since 2019 worlds is a good result, I think a pr isn't unlikely
Flat pr's mean nothing to a steepler. How often does she run them? They're soft pr's. The Kenyans had no problem running 9:00.

Won WC in 9:02.58; silver in WC in 2019 in 9:02.35. Already ran faster.
Frerichs silver in WC in 9:03.77; 2018 AR in 9:00.85. Already ran faster.
That's 3 years ago. Hasn't come close since.

In 2017, she opened with a 9:14 (5th place) in Doha May 5, then a 9:07 (4th place) at Pre May 26.

Well yeah, obviously she will make the team barring a fall so bad that she can't finish. Going to need some good peaking/luck to medal though.

Couldn't disagree more. She will peak for Olympics, should go faster.
Jakob avoids Timothy!!!

Jakob got no chance. Tim rips 3:30 for breakfast...
Norman solid victory in the 400. Kerley I just wonder about his mental game. Seems like he's pretty wildly inconsistent. There's no way he should've let Zambrano run him down from nowhere in that race.
SAFP great as usual, but a shame we didn't see Richardson there as a 10.6x was firmly in play with a good tailwind and perfect conditions.
Flat 3 always looks so bizarre to me after watching a steeple.
Gregsons sign puma and still in Nike spikes... !! DFL for Ryan and second to last for Gen .
Obiri with lots of company with 400 to go!
Wow!! Top 3 left Obiri in the dust. Chebet looked great. Former World Jr. champ. Only 21 yrs. old.
obiri limping a bit post race? tape on hamstring

I'm a big coburn fan but let's not pretend that world championship didn't have multiple of the favorites choke epically...missing the first water jump, falling, etc.
A broken clock is right twice a day. If you say 24 runners won’t improve you may be right on one or two.
3:30 for Tim and it looked good. Really can't see Jakob beating him, also impressed with McSweyn's performance today. That's my top 3 for the Olympic 1500 now

Lol. Looks like Timmy avoiding Jakob. Not to be seen in the first DL.
Jakob is also smiling after this. Seeing that he blew away McSweyns doors better than Timmy did. Jakob smells the gold. It's in the bag.
Timmy explains his passive start (by his standards)

Obiri had a bad day but even on a good day it's hard to beat a 7th lap in sub 61.5 and then sped up the last 200.
