Letesenbet Gidey wants to become the first woman under 29 minutes and will seek to do so at this Olympics. The only reason for the world record-holder to bypass the 5000m is to go all out in the 10000m. Barring rain or incredibly windy weather, don't be surprised by a 14:30 first half and faster second half. Gidey will seek to become the first woman under 29 minutes this year, as well as sub 14 minutes in the 5000m possibly post Olympics or in 2022. Letesenbet wants to run the socks off Sifan from the start.

Sifan Hassan has something up her sleeves. For her to try the triple after a clear loss to Faith Kipyegon means A LOT. Sifan is a smart athlete and she wouldn't try the triple unless she has a very good chance to win all 3. If she would have just doubled I would have gone with Letesenbet in the 10000m and Sifan 2nd but winning the 5000m. Now that she is tripling I think she is ready to surprise the world and show form even better than Doha 2019.

Faith Kipyegon and Athing Mu will have to break world records to garner any chance at the best female middle/distance runner of the Tokyo Games. Sifan and Letesenbet will redefine championship distance running at this Olympics.
