DeGrasse for sure. Hope he can make the Canadian team! He didn't make the 100 squad for Budapest. He made the 200m final as a small q. He's trending slower I think.
Most of them are retiring after Paris. A couple might retire before if they don't make the team and dont (or can't) want to do one more season in Europe.
Hodgkinson and Bol - both love racing, love the sport. They'll be around at least until 2028, probably 2032.
Kipyegon and Hassan - both have said they'll move up to the marathon
Jakob - I'm a little hesitant but I think he wants to be the only person to Winn three 1500m titles
On the other side, Mu and Sydney will be done. I think if they were really good at anything else, they'd already be gone. They don't seem to enjoy track

If Hodgkinson retires in 2028, is that before or after Paris?
Any athlete who is serious about trying to build a brand that transcends their athletics career, especially the Americans, will do everything they can to compete and stay on top through LA 2028 even if they do hate the sport. So expect Lyles, Mu, McLauglin, etc. to keep at through then at least.

Hodgkinson probably through 2032. Bol maybe not. Shelf life of sprinters isn’t as long as for distance runners

Muhammad won an Olympic silver at age 31, and a world bronze a year later. Ryzhkova is the same age. Made the Olympic final with her PB in Tokyo.
Bol will be 32 in Brisbane. She won't have trouble making the Dutch team.
Speaking of which, I think both Muhammad and Ryzhkova will retire next year.

the only person here i see retiring with any certainty is Mu. i just don’t see her staying the sport. she seems like she hates it.
i don’t blame her. anyone who did AAU would probably hate the sport by now too.
