Who’s your pick? I think a favorite in the men’s 1500 is going home devastated.
Maybe the Men’s 800 as well? Women’s 800 might be tough as well. Nia/Athing are on the struggle bus right now and the team looks wide open.
Cole Hocker. He'll be victim to the post& Olympic slump, but will come back with a new fire lit next year.
Hocker's gonna be fine, but if he doesn't make it, it would likely be because he got too cute trying to turn himself into an Ingebrigtsen like endurance machine. Bridge your "weaknesses," but don't lose sight of training to your strengths!
So if he doesn't make it, I agree he'd easily correct it next year. But I'm very confident he'll be fine.

Aside from cycling, what is hocker doing to become an "Ingebrigtsen endurance machine"?
I'm 100% kerr fan till I die. But as far as the American scene is concerned, I think hocker is just chillin out, running with extra weight like baseball caps, and just laying back until it's time to turn on the jets.
If the published streaming windows are accurate, they will shut down tonight before the two 10,000 finals. So you are paying $13 to see the prelims instead of waiting to see them on YouTube and watching the other finals on NBC this weekend. Not great value for anyone but the most rabid fanatics. (I haven't decided if that includes me yet.)
