    Kenya - Kipruto, Kamworor, Kandie

    - strong pushes from the middle of the race a la 2015 World Champs

    - no other real tactical options

    Ethiopia - Barega, Kejelcha, Gebrhiwet

    - can stay on the Kenyans

    - can sit and kick last 600

    - can push from 2-3000 out

    Farah

    - stealth mode chill in the back

    So for the Ugandan duo, I think a push from 2000 out or so is most likely; drop the Kenyans and anyone else who can't hang, but don't make it a sit and kick style race. I have a strong gut feeling that Kiplimo will get the upsets here.

    Wha? And what does Knight have to do with 10k rankings?

    Nice try at deflection but I'll come back here after Ahmed & Scott race each other and discuss how Ahmed had not managed to beat Scott by 18 seconds in a 5000.

    Well I don’t think he’ll beat Scott by 18 seconds in a 5k race, but he will beat him, and he’d beat him at 3k and 1500 as well.

    “Not if I come back here first!”

    Yeah within a matter of a couple posts he went from Scott being better than Ahmed at 10000m (laughable) to just wait until he is within 18 seconds of him in a 5000m race (of course).

    OK but keep in mind that Ahmed ran 26:59 for 6th in Doha in a World Championship race and at that time his best 5000m was 12:58. It is probable that Ahmed can run 26:30ish when he is in 12:47 shape. Ahmed is not particularly fast in a sprint finish though.

    Wait, what? He had enough sprint speed to get 3rd in the 2019 5000m with Jakob tripping him all over the place.

    Yeah Ahmed does not have much of a burst. Ahmed is talented but he would be more like Sihine than Bekele.
