I think he should lead the race for the first 400-600 at 56 pace. Jakob will take the lead after that. Perhaps he even tells Jakob ahead of time. I know this helps JI, but it also helps Nuguse. He hates running in a pack and needs a 3:28 race to medal.
It was pretty interesting that Goose told Kessler his strategy for the semi. Pretty cool of him and it worked out great for both Americans. First time since 1968 that there are 3 Americans in the 1500 final! Should be epic
