There’s just incredible depth in the men’s 1500m rate now. On top of its no longer a sit and kick race internationally. Being a great tactician doesn’t matter when you have 10 guys trying to break 3:30. If you watched what Tim C did at the World champs in 2019 you would already know that Centro was no longer an Olympic medal threat.
I do think centro needs to focus on the 5k. That event seems schumachers bread and butter.
