Wouldn't be so certain that Cranny is not doing the 1500. If she doubles, the tea leaves point to her doubling in the 15 and not the 10.

The problem with the 1500/5000 double is the schedule. Paris is going to be:

Aug 2, 6:10pm - 5000 prelims
Aug 5, 9:10pm - 5000 final
Aug 6, 10:05am - 1500 round 1
Aug 8, 7:35pm - 1500 semi
Aug 9, 8:55pm - 10000 final
Aug 10, 8:25pm - 1500 final

I think a 5K/10K double would be more accommodating. It might be tough to go all-out in the 5K and then have to run a 1500 12 hours later, even a first round race. It is doable but not desirable.

Well, she could contest both at the Trials and drop one for the Olympics. She enjoys the 1,500 the most it seems, and really is not a fan of the 10,000. My suspicion is she'll do the 15/5 double at the Trials and do the 1,500 if she makes both. If she were to only make one team, obviously she does that one.
