Chelimo has MF medals, Nur is ranked 18th in the world. Nur could run 13:00 if he got a good race, and if worlds isn't tactical he will likely break 13.
Nur is him. 2:21 last K at USAs in a 13:20s race. 13:06 last year and got 11th at worlds. Looks to be in similar or better shape to Grijalva now (12:52 this year). Dark horse to medal.
Chelimo is a 3-time medalist, no slouch even though his PR is a bit off the top guys. As likely to medal as any of the 12:40s guys except Jakob and Chep imo.
McGorty is kinda mediocre, that’s true, but he got top 3 in both 10k and 5k for a reason. His last 1k at USAs was like 2:23 I think, still a nice close. 13:02 quite recently as well, in a race where nobody broke 13:00.

Look, I get it that it's a troll post. And I guess that is fun for folks. But it's just not intelligent. 20 years ago we actually did discuss the sport on this forum.
Schull, Dellinger, Lagat, and Chelimo. That is the list the entire list of US medalists in the event.
Nur, chelimo, mcgorty??? None of these guys can run sub 13. I can understand Fisher injury but Klecker? Kincaid? What happened?
Will a US guy even make the final?
layers of ignorance.
First of all, everyone (globally) is getting trounced by whatever aregawi and the Ugandans are up to. So, please let us know your expectations here.
second of all, the two alternate names you suggest are the 10k team, yet to globally succeed, that focused on making that 10k team and wouldn’t have doubled had they made the 5k team.
lastly, have some respect for Chelimo there, that son of a gun can run with proven results. busted his ass to make the 10k team thinking he was aging out and fell ass backwards into his old stomping ground the 5k. no doubt he’s also intimidated by the stupid fast 5k sauce going around, but you can bet he’s going to “go hard” so that he doesn’t “suffer for the rest of your (his) life”.

Chelimo has run under 13 Minutes for 5000
When was the last time chelimo ran under 13? He's been in fast races this year and bombed. Or do you expect his "training" in Kenya will again come through? Nur is just overrated. Mcgorty is just not world class like Nur. This is fact

Lol. This is certainly a worse troll post than the OPs. Unless Jakob is not running this event? If he does he'd make these clowns look like clowns.
Cehlimo afraid of 5k sauce? Dude has sauce coming out of his friggin eyeballs every champs.
Remember when Centro won gold? The guys who lost to him said similar things. He shouldn't have won just like the 3 guys who won the top 3 spots at USATF had no business going 1-2-3. But racing is racing. We reward winning regardless of times.

I thought you said Nur was "B team?" Make up your mind.

Not a B team.
Your point is well taken, but please do not sully the names of US distance heroes Schull & Dellinger by having in the same sentence the names of the Kenyan soldiers of fortune.
