I thought this would be a nothing burger, but in fact that is a tough heat. However, Cooper has already exceeded expections just by making the team, this is all gravy. Wish him the best.
Well that’s a gigantic difference lol. Lutkenhaus is now the guy having the best season and the best finisher. If he’s still in his form, I like his chances.
Heat 6 is the real heat of death: Crestan, Burgin, Meziane, Masalela. That’s 4 legit potential finalists. Only relief is Masalela’s form is fading. Navasky Anderson is also an agent of chaos in that heat.

Tual who was 6th at French Championships and not running well
Pattinson who was last at British champs and not running well
Lutkenhaus is the in form guy.
Pattison has been trending upwards since British champs, got down to 1:44 in the week or so afterwards. I think Lutkenhaus will be OK for the heats, I can't see him getting out of the semi.
Heat 6 will probably end up being the fastest. Burgin won't leave that to chance so he'll front run something pretty strong.

This. He's already far exceeded any reasonable expectations. He's probably about 4 years ahead of schedule in reaching world's. Getting beat to the line and missing the semis is good experience and a learning moment. Even better if he makes it through, but Cooper has already won this year.
