1500m men Prediction: 1 Jakob Ingebrigtsen (NOR) 3:30.34; 2 Josh Kerr (GBR) 3:30.56; 3 Jake Wightman (GBR) 3:30.65; 4 Yared Nuguse (USA) 3:31.02; 5 Narve Nordas (NOR) 3:31.23; 6 Cole Hocker (USA) 3:31.65; 7 Niels Laros (NED) 3:31.68; 8 Cameron Myers (AUS) 3:32.03
Do you agree that Nuguse will be frozen out of the medals by Jakob and the Brits?
The time is the craziest part of that prediction. In what universe would Jakob want to make it a 3:30 race!? Wish they shared their reasoning...

Both men and women’s marathon selections for Ethiopia and Kenya may be different
2:03:50 for the Olympic marathon might be the most ridiculous take I've ever seen
Accuracy to 1/100th in timings is the best part of this article. Makes it appear to be calculated and not simply a guess.

No African in the top eight. I predicted this years ago.
Women 5000m Final
Prediction: 1 Faith Kipyegon (KEN) 14:09.65; 2 Gudaf Tsegay (ETH) 14:09.98; 3 Sifan Hassan (NED) 14:10.34; 4 Beatrice Chebet (KEN) 14:10.65; 5 Letsenbet Gidey (ETH) 14:11.25; 6 Alicia Monson (USA) 14:17.56; 7 Jessica Hull (AUS) 14:20.65; 8 Parker Valby (USA) 14:23.45
Seems like a little home cooking as far as the mens 1500 is concerned. I like the guy and hope he can do it but I don’t see Wightman getting into medal contention this year based on current form.

I can’t imagine the W10000 medals not including the road WR holder
Do they watch the sport? These are bad - especially the time.
1500m is just wide open and that's what makes it so much interesting to watch in Olympics. Is there any event which is so much wide open (except for Men marathon)
