I forgot Jakob was going for the 3k WR there. This could get interesting! Maybe he stays in Europe and races the 1500m the next weekend with Nuguse/Romo. He's not confirmed for The TEN yet.
Interesting. Great to see from Grant testing himself against Jakob. Guessing being in shape to run a fast 3K means the 10K in March is out of the picture. Could see him going 3K in Europe and then try and take back the 5K record at BU Last chance potentially two weeks later.

There is no BU last chance meet this year. The final indoor meet at BU is this weekend's David Hemery Valentine Invite.
Doubt very much Grant will miss The TEN . . . this is where he will get his 10k Q for Paris next year.

Good to know on the BU meet. Fisher is ranked 3rd in the World at 10,000, he doesn't need to worry about the qualifying standard.

I’m not saying Fisher’s gonna run The Ten, but I don’t think running a fast 3k precludes running a great 10k 15 days later.
Is Jakob still going for the 3k WR there? If so, Jerry must think Grant is in some kind of shape to send him there with the pace being that fast.
Pretty sure thats the Madrid meet the following week, I believe Jakob was announced for the 1,500 here.
You are absolutely correct!
But I don't know if he still plan to race these races after his sickness around new year. Indoor european championship in Istanbul is his first priority during winter / early spring.
And he never said he would go for the world record in the Madrid 3000m, the organizers did!

Fisher is doing the 3k in France. Heard he is in the 1500m in Spain, the 10k in California is highly unlikely.
Testing himself in Europe and having fun at those distances will be good for him then it’s all about the World Championships.
