Valby split 15:30 (with pacer)/15:20 (solo) at Bryan Clay for the NCAA record. She also had to run wide often because she lapped 34 people during the second half of the race alone. She won't be lapping anyone in Paris and she will have people to pace off the entire race, especially the tough second half. Will she run faster than 15:07 for her second 5000m?

If she does, that might be enough for her to avoid getting lapped by the lead pack.

Since she will try to lead for the first half, then - no. Closer to 17. If she finishes.

The assumption in the Valby Olympic thread is that she’ll run an even paced race and shoot for a PR, which would be something like 15:20/15:20.
Finding someone that is running the right pace for her, will be difficult, so she’ll need to listen to the splits and do the math.

I am surprised that there hasn't been a pro contract announcement yet. I could understand waiting until after the trials because making the team ups her value, but at this point what is the advantage of waiting? Seems like she would want to capitalize on the hype leading up to the Olympics. Is there a reason I am missing to wait until after the Olympics?
I am assuming she is planning to go pro. I think she said she ran her last race at Florida, and I guess she could go to grad school and use the rest of her elgibility, but running-wise that would be so boring for her. I really expected a pro announcement in the couple of weeks after the trials once it was sure she made the 10K team.

She will. I heard on Satirical after she watched Sound Running Sunset Tour on YouTube, she immediately jumped on an arc trainer, ran a 10k with 15:06 split for her second 5000m.

Hi Slo-Jo, did you read SLB’s latest RW article, which covered that point a bit? I linked to it in another thread, but here you go:
Enjoy!

That article again brings up $600-800k as possible contract range. But the shoe companies would not leak that, leaving me to suspect that pv's agent/dad 'anonymously' told the number to runner's world. Which makes me suspect that agent/dad is trying to negotiate through the press and has NOT had offers in that range. sus

This ‘sport’ actually is an ‘entertainment business’, with some overarching ties to geopolitics. I don’t know what the athletes are ‘worth’, in terms of salary.
I imagine the contracts can have a base salary, with other ‘fine-print’ stipulations, restrictions, reduction-clauses?
Regarding your point about where the article’s quoted value came from, it may have simply been the case where the journalist asked the question, and a relevant party answered it, to the best of their knowledge; SLB doesn’t reveal her source in the article.
Somebody on this message board keeps saying (bragging?), in response to apparent adversary ‘haters’ that she is making 5million…but who knows what that even means?

Shoe company reps negotiating contracts will not be leaking. It could cost them their jobs. So who else would say anything? And is it real?

Maybe other agent(s) and/or insiders embedded in the sport that would have an idea on this stuff? Or maybe her dad answered the question that was asked? I don’t know. But I presume that is probably the case for you, too, unless you have more detailed information on the matter you wish to share.

If the first 5000 is 15:40ish, then maybe, but assuming it is15:20 or faster then I would say no.

Anyone care to guess how fast McColgan is running these 200’s? (We aren’t told what speed the video has been slowed to.)
