Sifan Hassan already did this in 2019 and WON GOLD in both. She tried it again IN 2021, but ADDED THE 5K and came home with three medals (1500m bronze, 5k/10k GOLD). Cool for Schweizer I guess, but it doesn't move the needle just because she's an American when someone already did this the last two World Championships and went home with 4 golds (5 medals in all).
of course she is entered in both the 1500 and the 5000 this weekend but that is meaningless without a little research.
I amwilling to bet that she runs the prelims of the 1500 and then scratches from the final no matter how well it goes. Jerry likes to put a race in prior to the 5000.

When you are right, you are right. 2021 was Olympics, which makes Hassan's double gold even more impressive.
On the other hand, we are talking about an ex-NOP and a current BTC athlete here. Hard to get excited.

That’s cute that you respond to your own posts for validation.
Where is this information coming from? She is declared in both the 1500 and 5000. If she is only running the 1500, she has a tough battle as that is a very good field.
I could see her opting out of the 5000 so there's a spot open for Vanessa Fraser.
I can only think of one but imagine there coudl be more.
I know that Francie Larrieu-Smith did it in her career. She was a 1500 Olympian in 1972 and 76 and made the 10,000 teams in 87, 88, 91.
Has anyone else ever done it in their career, let alone in the same year? Has any men ever done it?
She discussed this in her podcast with Emma Abrahamson, she is planning on doubling the 5K/10K at worlds if she makes the 5K team. She mentioned wanting to run another 1500 before the season is over and if she runs it at USAs it would be a tuneup. She has no intention of trying to run the 1500 at Worlds. You are always retroactively changing incorrect post subjects, you should change yours.

If she scratches from the final do they replace her with another runner, or does the spot go unfilled?

This thread should be deleted. False premise in the OP's thread title.
