She did better than I thought she would today but I am still going with no.

Possibly if Shelby is coming off of an injury. Otherwise no.

As long as she keeps playing into her hands then no. You have to take the centro 2016 approach and go out really slow and smash a hard last 400. If someone can crank a sub 58 last 400 Shelby is done. Only problem is the only person that could do that in the US is the favorite to win the 800. Yes, if you don’t do think Wilson could finish a tactical 1500 very fast you’re on crack
I just unfollowed Jenny Simpson and followed Shelby houlihan on Instagram. Sticking with the winning team!
Maybe, but not when it matters, Simpson had a nice run. Houlihan is the future.
Fork's up !

I think your strategy would be playing even more into Shelby's hands. No way does Simpson beat her in a full sit and kick.

The guy is right. Think about it... Shelby is the AR holder in the 5k, so she’s a more strength based runner and is finishing these 1500m fast off of that strength. Jenny’s a pure 1500m runner, so she needs to set a last 400m that will knock the socks off the entire field. She led the chase pack today but she led it going too quick, she should have slowed it down. The girl up front would have came back to her in the last 200m if she were to just be patient and run a 57 last 400

Last year they were through in 2:16(2:11 today), did that go any different for Jenny?
Shelby is an 800 runner who decided to train hard for 1500/5000, if she were to race Jenny in a 400 she would win. If they arrive with 400 to go under any circumstances at the moment she will win. But it's super close and Jenny is pretty much the same type of runner, so does that mean maybe 2 out of 10 times Jenny could get her, sure. But I'll go with the younger faster runner 8/10 times.

Some non-Americans can take the Muir 2018 Brussels approach: Wind it up early, forcing Houlihan to run enough of the kick out her legs that she can't catch you on the home stretch.
Muir and Houlihan are young enough that they should have more options this year than last, so I am prepared to be surprised by them in Doha.

The only way this could help Simpson is if Houlihan screws up biggly (like Muir going with Dibabe in Rio). If that happened, Simpson could do her usual and blow by Houlihan as she imploded.
It's hard to see this happening. Since her breakthrough, "screwing up" for Houlihan has meant finishing second or third. It's hard to see much opportunity for Simpson in those races.

Doha final. The race will start 800m to go and Shelby will be at the back and will end up with too much track to cover.
150m to go, Houlihan was a lion, while Simpson was still in tactics mode. Rewatch. Simpson responded with 80m left- but too late.

Simpson's DL races this year would indicate that her gamer days are over. She turns 33 in a month.
But who knows? May have something in her panties.
Best of luck to her. Always been a fan.
Anybody know when she moved from Iowa to Florida?

Sorry, hit the button too early.
The problem with this analysis is that no worlds final will come down to a slow race with a fast last lap. It's either going to be slow beginning with superfast last 700-800m like 2015,16,17. Or it's going to be fastish from the beginning with a fast last 400-600. Not only ran Muir 3:58 with a sub 58 last lap, no less than 6 women in that race ran sub 4:01 with sub 60 last laps, just to put the USATF final into perspective. So anyone stronger than 4:00 with 59.5 last lap would be a fool to let it come to that. They must be either sure to have a 57 last lap or they must make it fast before the last lap
Yes.
Simpson needed to start really cranking at 800 meters not 400 meters to take the kick out of SH
If there are no outside factors such as illness or injury, I think it woul take SH going with a super fast pace set by Hassan, Dibaba, etc. with JS laying back and picking up the pieces if SH cracks late.
How else can you beat someone who currently appears much stronger, much faster, and more confident?
