He obviously has wheels. The question is if he has the strength to be with those top east-African guys with 400 to go. At this point I would not be surprised if he is able to come in as a dark horse and finish 3rd.

No, because he is worse at the 5k than he is at the 1500m.
And just so you can educate yourself, as I live in the world of data.. his 3:33 is superior to his 13:09...

Yes it does. Anyone who makes the final could be considered a medal threat. There's a lot of medal threats. Just depends on who shows up in the moment. Knight should just stay relaxed and let the others do the work while sticking close and try to out kick them for a medal.
Yeah, I'd like to see a faster 5k than he's shown in order to consider him a medal threat.
To be honest, I'd love to see what he could run for a 3k time trial. Seems like the sweetspot for him.

Well that 3:33 shows me he is ready to go under 13 right now.

He ran his 5k pb in 2019. He is absolutely ready to run faster.
i was thinking this when i saw that 3:33.
we'll see where he's at in the 5000 when DL starts in a couple weeks

The mercier calculator puts 3:33 at 13:07. His 1500 PR before today was 3:36, which converts to 13:18. If anything, this suggests he is ready for a big 5k PR, possibly sub-13, not that he is better at the 1500 than the 5k.

This guy gets it.
3:33 is the kind of speed needed to compete at 1500 and 5000 and 10000. He should test himself soon at 5000 but keep the 1500 in mind...Justin case!
Uhhhhh, lol. He is slower than Fisher, Scott, McGorty & Klecker. He wouldn't even make the final. 5000 is really packed now with talent. No chance.
McGorty looks like is going to jump into steeplechase since he felt he has no chance in the 5000.
Knight has even less of a chance.

Yeah and I'd like to see him run faster lol. I'm not going to give it to him without seeing it myself.

Knight ran his 5k pr 2 years ago. The others ran theirs this year. Knights 1500 pr is the fastest out of those you mentioned. His 1500 indicates that he is ready to run under 13:00.
I’m not sure because the Kenyans and Ethiopians always make races difficult for everyone else. Going out fast, slowing down, spending up, or just fast from the gun. Knight will have to run low 3:30 to have a strong presence in my opinion (he’s more than capable) he’ll be interesting to watch. If it’s a slow race then he’s definitely gonna be up there and be one of the fastest finishers.

McShorty PR 3:36 lol
I think most people do not have a grasp on how fast the 5000m specialists could run the 1500m if they actually entered an actual race. Many of them would run between 3:30 and 3:33.

In the flotrack podcast he said himself that hethinks he can run sub 13 this year

Selemon did and ran 3:32.9. And this is the guy I picked to win 5k gold.

Some data for Mr. Dionysus here:
Bronze medal times for 5000m at Olympics/WC with the runner's 1500m PR at the time:
2019 - 13:01 - 3:40
2017 - 13:33 - 3:39
2016 - 13:04 - NT (7:30 3k)
2015 -13:51 - NT (7:30 3k)
His 1500m is better based on points, but that has nothing to do with championship racing. He should be a sub-13 guy, but he doesn't even have to be to medal.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
