The Tokyo heat is unreal. I'm there now and have basically been soaked in sweat the entire time.

I'm also supportive of this hot take
Womens 800m- Roisin Willis FTW. You saw it here first.
Another go: your 1500 medallists will be Hocker, Kerr, and Strand. Laros is over-raced
At least one of the big 1500m contenders doesn't make the final (Laros, Hocker, Kerr, J. Koech, P. Koech, Jakob). The final is won in 3:33 or slower.
Arop and Sedjati don't medal in the 800m. Hoppel and Coop don't make the final.
East Africans go 1-2 in the 10k and Nico outkicks Fisher for the bronze.
The Let's Run Tokyo neet-up party is a sausage-fest
Ethan Strand pulls out injured.
Hobbs Kessler takes his place and wins 1500 gold (after winning 5th Avenue Mile tomorrow).
didn't know he got selected
1. Jakob Ingebrigtsen win 1500m in world record time. (His pacer Pieter Sisk pace him to 1100m)
2. After very fust 1500m, 5000 will be very slow, last 200m battle for medals between Ingebrigtsen, Laros, Hocker, Nordås, Coscoran and El Bakkali.
Masai Russell, Cordell Tinch break hurdle WRs. Two American men in the 800m go under the old AR.

Enough with the milquetoast predictions of Laros winning the 1500. What are your HOT takes for worlds?
The Shelbassaince is nigh
Ishmael Kipkuri wins the 10000 especially if the pace is slower. Most explosive kick I’ve seen in a long time.
Wanyonyi leads the first 700m, gets passed by Sedjati, Arop, and Brazier in the last 100m, and finishes 4th
Chase Jackson fails to medal and switches to the discus next year.
Joe Kovacs's family vacation is actually to Tokyo, someone from the US team drops out, and he wins his third World Champs gold.
Cubans sweep the women's triple jump and then all defect.
Jonah Koech for Gold clearing the field by a second 3:29.10 is my hot take
but Kerr is going to win
No grandslam athletes medal in the 8 or 15 finishing the season with no money and no medals

George Mills trips one of the big hitters in the 5000m and they do not get advanced to the final
Mills to pull out the Stone Cold Stunner as Fisher goes to pass him with 1200 to go
Will they have to move the marathons earlier due to heat?
