I'll be very curious to see what strategy Grant goes with in Paris because kicking from 1400 almost guarantees he won't have the legs left to go for gold (which I don't think he has a realistic shot at anyway), but it might surprise/shake enough people to put him in contention for a bronze, which would certainly be a huge accomplishment. He will need to have something more left at the end though because it would be much higher caliber athletes than Nur still with him if he tries that.
In Paris he won't have to do that -- in either the 10k or 5k -- because the lead groups will be winding it down by that point.
What Grant needs to do in both races is not allow a gap form on the back stretch of the final lap -- as happened in his Eugene 2022 WC races and happened again in his LA Grand Prix 5k race.
Then, he can best use his 13.43/final 100 meter kick we saw on Sunday to finally give himself an equal chance as anyone else for a medal.
While I don't see GF as the no1 gold favorite I am not sure about all of this.
I think it is possible that GF got not pushed that hard in the 10k and the last 100 in the 5k were very good. After all he won against a couple sub 13 runners. The pace will be pushed in Paris by others, too. So I think he will be in a good spot. I think he might end like 2nd/3rd in the 10k and like 5th in the 5k.
