Someone had to say it.
We will sweep the men's 1500m race.
1. Asbel Kiprop
2. Silas Kiplagat
3. Elijah Manangoi Matonei
4. Toufik Makhloufi
Right now, some of you will think I am insane but i'll be proven right in due course.
I am done.

Maybe, maybe not. The real question is what will be the order in 2017 when the test for IGF1 is developed and can be run on the frozen samples?
Kiprop, Macdope, Kiplagat.
Still not bad but it is hard for Kiplagat to lose to anyone other than Kiprop in my opinion.
Where are all these Kenyan LetsRun posters lately coming from? NativeSon, keniano, ventolin

Agreed, but each will subsequently lose their medal due to doping violations.

Actually, NativeSon, I think Kiplagat is the only one capable of beating Kiprop. Very impressed with this Manangoi kid, though. Ndiku 2.0? Remember Caleb ran 3:29 in Monaco before moving up.

In case of a slow race I believe Manangoi has a decent chance to win. Kiprop is not the greatest tactical runner.
There will be tripping.
Classic

Kiplagat hasnt shown to be a great championship runner and as Canova says: he cant accelerate like often is needed in finals. He clearly struggled more than Willis and Centro in the semi. He may get by just by superior fitness, but I doubt it.
Old man Willis left his kick on the track in the semis, I'd wager.
Coach Canova has pointed out that Kiplagat's kick is more effective in a fast race. Who's taking the pace in this one on behalf of Silas and Asbel?
Makdoofi is ready and could surprise. I admit I like the guy.
Centro is hungry; we'll see what he comes up with. I'd love to see him win.
Robby the kicker has to get used to 3 rounds, see you next year kid. Maybe a medal in 2 years?
So maybe 2 Kenyan medals this time. Kiprop gold of course.
PEDs may or may not be on board with any given athlete at this meet. It's frustrating to say the least... I just try to enjoy the action for now.
I honestly think Makhloufi is gonna surprise some people. I mean I'd go with Kiprop ftw for sure, but definitely don't count Makhloufi out...that 2:13 1000m along with his 800 speed is gonna be really fierce in this final since I feel like nobody is gonna be willing to really take it out as usual even though some say they will. I feel like it's gonna be a 1:56-1:59 first half and then maybe like 3:32 or so.

Well, I argued with you about the steeple, and after that I am not about to do it again!
