Depth and talent are there. Seems like there should be a real shot of WR going down, especially if they have a decent pacer (pacing was pretty rough at this event last year). Someone that understands this better than I do, please explain - what are the chances that we can see a new mile WR in 2 weeks?

3%. Jakob is the only who would push the pace, and all we know about him is that he is coming off an injury right now.

Weather looks good, these guys' training has been excellent. I think Paris prep will have them ready to rip. I'm optimistic, I'll say 67%.
I doubt anyone will go for it pre Olympics. If they aren’t going for it, I think the chances are quite slim.
more likely that a WR happens after the Olympics when people don’t feel like they are looki by down the road to the next meet
Don’t get your hopes up, it’s not happening. I think some of the people in this field have the potential to do it in the next year or two, but not at this venue in May.
It is jakob’s opening race. He wont be in wr shape for the first race for the season. He will probably run fast in Oslo though.
Jakob will jog 3:42. All while waving to the crowd, taking a sip of water, and bragging about how easy it was in the post-interview
Zero percent chance. Jakob is not going to run a world record on a notoriously windy track in May after not racing for 8 months. We don’t even know if he’ll be in good enough shape to win.
get used to Jakob losing on that bum leg of his. His Achilles heel is his Achilles heel.
nothing about this race will be focused on running fast, it'll be a huge ego war of 'who finishes ahead of who before the Olympics'
The pecking order is all they'll care about, sure it might be quick if some people want to sort the pecking order by stringing it out, but not WR-quick

You mean like a real race and not a time trial? Ok, I'll watch that and be entertainded. No rabbits please and take away all appearance fees if they jog the first 1500m.

Spot on. Especially the wind.

Not likely. Early in season. Heat and wind. Most runners are still in a heavy training block preparing for USAs and other nationals and the Olympics themselves. I say 3:47 wins it at the fastest
No WR. Jakob ftw if it's faster than 3:47, kerr takes it between 3:47 - 348, Beamish kicks the field down if it's any slower. My pick, Jakob in 3:45

How many alt usernames you going to be posting on after the race, crying about how Jakob’s win doesn’t mean much since everyone isn’t peaking until Olympics blah blah blah 😂 🤡
