His training method and capacity makes him able to be in sub 3:30 shape, sub 12:50 shape, and most likely sub 27:00 at the same time.
Now if you add to that a not extremely fast race in 5k and 10k and he could do it.
Obviously it would be a very risky move, but I think he potentially could do it.
Olympics are not a highschool track meet where you compete for team points.
Gert needs to have him in a maximum of 2 events so he due to fatigue reasons. Why get 3 bronzes when you can get 1 gold?
At the next 2 Olympics when hes 24 and 28, if he wants to do an el guerrouj type of act and win gold in 2 events, then I'm cool with him and gert doing that.
Gert knows what he is doing. But as I said before, I pray to God every single day that gert doesnt make the same stupid mistake with jakob as Salazar did with Rupp and bump the kid up to the marathon before age 35.
SALAZAR RUINED RUPP BY MOVING TO MARATHON BEFORE AGE 35. RUPP HAS SO MUCH TRACK JUICE LEFT IN HIS LEGS TO THIS VERY DAY.
IT WILL BE AN INTERNATIONAL CRIME IF INGEBRITSEN RUNS A MARATHON BEFORE AGE 35.
