Only 8 best from semis qualify.
Everyone run in split lanes, with exactly 1500m distance for everyone.
Who medals/wins and what times would be expected?
I guess this would as close as one could get to a "pure" time trial without pacers

How do you plan on laying it out? The inside lane(s) placements can chase and key off of those in the outside lanes.
First of all, this would be hilarious.
Each lane would have to start 28.9 meters ahead of the lane before it, meaning the runner in Lane 8 would start 203 meters ahead of the Lane 1 runner.
Lane 1 has a significant advantage. He knows when he's traveled 200 and 400 meters, making pacing much easier.
However, the inside lanes would likely start too fast and burn out due to having to close a massive gap
It would really all come down to qualifying, as lanes 4 and 5 have a significant advantage.
However, this basically eliminates the chance to sit and kick, so I would say Jakob wins, Kerr takes 2nd, and T. Cheruiyot rounds out the podium

Umm, are you saying that 3 3/4 laps in lane 8 is 1703 meters?

One lap in Lane 8=453.9 meters
3 Laps in Lane 8=1361.7 meters
453.9/4=113.475
113.475x3=340.425
1361.7+340.425=1702.125
Technically 1702 meters but yes it is
