Only 14 runners entered for the 3000m at Nanjing World Indoors. The entry quota was 15 runners, which means there is an empty spot! Some interesting points:

Jakob Ingebrigtsen gets the 14th spot with his 7:48 from Euro Indoors...

James West is denied the entry by UK Athletics as he is not considered strong enough although he would be 11th on the list.

Athletics Kenya killing its athletes once more by selecting Cornelius Kemboi who has never run an indoors race and leaving out Mathew Kipsang who would be in 11th place.

That’s actually hilarious. So many people signed off of World Indoors that Jakob’s 7:48 qualified him to run it. Looks like he can do the double now if he wants.

WTF. I kind of wish Filip had entered (he’s run 7:39 this season so would be qualified) and paced Jakob to a WR (it’s a straight final).

NCAA cutoff time is 8 seconds faster than World Indoors...

NCAA might not have more quality but it will for sure have more depth

Do the women's 1500 entries look wrong to anyone else? Looks like they have Elise Cranny listed, who didn't run USAs. And kind of surprised no Cam Myers in the men's 1500.

Kemboi has only run a 5k in the roads since last September in 13:13 (5th).

Whilst for Kipsang, last year was his first time in Europe, which basically meant his first opportunity ever. He has shown decent improvement running 7:38 indoors (he had never raced indoors before) whilst closing in 26 flat.

Aregawi was training to run Lisboa half this past weekend and scratched at the very last minute because he was selected for World Indoors. Not quite sure if his 3k sharpness will be there to challenge Jakob or even Mills.

It looks like he skipped Sirikwa after getting the call-up but I don’t know.
