This was the race last year that made me realize Wanyonyi is a better 1500 runner than Kessler. Jonathan Gault tried to tell me it didn't matter then Wanyonyi won the 1500 at GST.

Statistical accuracy (second cousin to proper grammar) bosses Rojo again.

A 2 second win over Kessler is extremely impressive. Wow.

re: colorunner123

put in the context of Nico Young almost tying Kessler, maybe it was just a bad day for Hobbs?

Hoey's result a bit disappointing.

re: rojo

Kessler was back in the pack when Wanyonyi made his move, and then he couldn't make up any ground afterwards. I was expecting a lot more out of Hoey, but maybe he's lacking some endurance as an 800 guy.

Nico Young ran 3:50.9 and 12:51 this winter: he’s got good mile speed and he’s in great shape. Not saying he’s the 1500 runner that Kessler is, but it’s not surprising to see him run Kessler close in a road mile.

If this was a “bad day” for Hobbs, it was an awful day for Hoey (3:59) Prakel (4:02), Arop (4:04), Waskom (4:07) and Hoppel (4:12)—and in fact, I’m guessing at least a couple of those guys would say they had awful days.

Travel must have been hard on most of them.

I have a lot of respect for Nico Young. But if Hobbs Kessler is a legitimate world medal threat, a 10000 guy shouldn't be on his shoulder all the way to the line.

Yeah, nico ran a 3:50.9. Hobbs ran a 3:46.9

It was an average day for Hobbs, similar to last year. Wanyonyi expended more effort today than at GST where he was very patient and only unleashed for about 70 meters. Today he blasted it from 250 out. Kessler is at his best in an honest race a la Millrose or Paris. His top gear is not amazing just yet despite the 800m speed. I suspect Houser could’ve gotten second today if you dropped him in there today but in his indoor form.

Did Katelyn Tuohy end up racing? Can't find the 5km results.

4:12 is horrific for Hoppel, did he cramp up or something?

re: rojo

If Wanyoni enters the WC's 1500 Jakob is gonna have lead from the gun and push a crazy pace [ like Olympic 1500] once again! Or get outkicked.... again [ like past WC's].

Between a rock and a hard place.

Nico right there with Hobbs. Not bad for a 5k guy.

re: rojo

Awesome race by Nico! Hanging with Kessler puts him one step closer to being a medal threat in Tokyo.

Wanyonyi is ridiculous. A month ago, I didn't think there was a clear favorite in the Worlds 1500. Today, I believe that Wanyonyi is the man to beat.
