I respect nuguse for having a really good kick, but at the 1500 today, he ended up leading all but the 1300, where he immediately got back once his 150 kick set in. This is something we dont really see with nuguse, even when he raced the 800 at track fest. I'm thinking this is the start to a more confident era of yared, where he realizes how efficient he really is, and how much further he could go. hope to see him leading more soon, and for klecker to learn from him...
This strategy was only really works if you’re way better than the rest of the field.
Happy to see him win today! Hope he earns a medal in Budapest.
Don't read too much into today's race. Once Y N gets to 1500m semi-final, W.C., he will hold on by his finger nails. Y N will not control semi-final and he will not control final if he makes it.
Of course there will be a huge difference in strategy running at USAs where he is a cut above the rest vs an international meet. Will no doubt try to sit and kick at worlds would be foolish to try anything else.
No point in him leaving it to chance. He's so much better than everyone in the US - at least 3 seconds right now as Hocker is nowhere near his PB. It's smart racing to take it on
