Jakob does not win anything. Even hotter take? He doesn't make it to any final
Cooper L makes the 800m final and Wanyonyi does not podium
Brazier goes 1:41, but may not be a victory. Neither Arop nor Hoppel make the final
SML wins bronze in the 400m
Lyles nor Tebogo win the 100m/200m. I think Bednarek causes a big upset. Or Seville, Thompson too.
MHS wins in 43.5 with Patterson second in 43.7
I feel like the 5k/10k is anyone's ballpark tbh

The Tokyo heat is unreal. I'm there now and have basically been soaked in sweat the entire time.
Yep. My hot take: 90+ degrees F and 65-70% humidity for the EVENING sessions. The temps will be even higher for the morning sessions.
Ethiopian men sweep 10000
and...
American men sweep 5000
Hahahaha
Yomif Kejelcha wins gold

Enough with the milquetoast predictions of Laros winning the 1500. What are your HOT takes for worlds?
Sydney breaks 48s but not quite the WR for the 400m and wins the Gold.
I'll raise you:
SML doesn't win an individual medal.
Duplantis loses to Karalis

She's the modern day Brenda Martinez it's possible
Jonah Koech 3:28 FTW
For the first time since 1983, no Africans finish in the top 5 in the 5k.
Top 5 will be comprised by some combination of: Fisher, Young, Hocker, Jakob, Gressier, Almgren, and Ky Robinson.
