I think Rupp, Solinsky and Lagat all will medal. No joke.
Rupp in the 10,000 and Lagat and Solinsky in the 5000. Merga is vulnerable... the guys have already beaten little Bekele and Kipchoge isn't the same as the World Champ Kipchoge.
I would alter that prediction if Solinsky's hamstring is not 100%... otherwise, that's what I am going with.
For those that don't want to believe that Rupp, Solinsky, and a healthy Teg and Ritz (can't wait til Ritz is healthy and training with those guys) are competitive with the world's best, you clearly are just ignoring facts.
BTW, what is going on with Ritz? Wish he would forget about the marathon and train with Farah and Rupp for a 10k birth next year. What a sick 10k team... Rupp, Ritz and Solinsky. I bet Teg is doing more strength work this year to make up for missing much of last year and in prep for next year... and that is why he did the 10k this year. My bet is that he does the 5k fresh next year and assuming no injury setbacks, is ready to roll.
