Hocker can Shush all he wants, but his chance of going are not high

That run for him is worth approx 1270, his highest score yet.

Will replace his lowest score in the rankings, meaning his new average will be about 1232, good for top 30 in the world.

No way he isn't in a qualifying spot. Hate to break it to you but Hocker is on the plane.

yup-the numbers add up for Hocker and he is good to go!

Want nothing more than for Engels to go but there's no way. Hocker is there.

Correct ^

Yet again another misinformed Cole Hocker hater FloTrack did the math for it and he needed around 3:38-3:40 and top 3 to get in on world rankings

hobbyjogger18 goes home DEVASTATED

No he definitely is going idiot

Three rounds of the 1500 in a championship race is different then a time trial with rabbits. The Olympics is obviously the former. He will go and with that kick contend for a medal. Simply amazing considering how bad of a position he was in.

Damn bro you're hella Clueless! You don't think everyone with any say so realizes that Hocker is a serious medal contender. there's no way in hell he's not going to the Olympics. He'll be easily eligible due to rankings

They're not going to deny a guy who has the best chance of any American to win a medal. He just came from 20 back and beat the reigning Olympic champion.

And he has to avoid getting into the bad positions. Got away with it today (again).

Epic OP beatdown of the year? Methinks yes.

Homie is literally the US champ. Craig got boxed. It made me sad. But it is what it is

He won’t get out of the first round. You Oregon jock sniffers are insane

He just won the US title, against the reigning gold medalist. Tf you on about?

His form though!

Y'all may have me here, but still cannot continue the disrespect to your OWN reigning Olympic champ. Multi-time medalist at worlds. Multi time US champ.

Let's see how Hocker runs later this summer after a handful of XC races, indoor, outdoor, and now Tokyo and on top of that if he makes the final it's gonna be sub 3:31.

Hocker won, had a devastating kick but he's not going to be that fresh.

That's actually one of Hockers best strengths. He can turn almost any position into a good position. With that short stride and the way he can maneuver, he can go from a bad position to a good position really quickly. I think he actually ran the race great and it's probably better for him to get on the rail like that, all he needs is a little opening and he is home free

Yep - that time with the bonus points for winning nationals, and he will be going for sure.

thank you for exposing the truth, this entire forum is against Engels right now when we know he is the rightful 1st place finisher of that race AND olympic qualifier. I guess these people just can’t handle the mullet. Will love to see you in Tokyo, Engels!
