Breaking: Kenenisa Bekele OFFICIALLY off Ethiopian Olympic squad. Laura Muir and Elle Purrier get big boost as Tsegay opts for 5

JBaller33

Based on the list of who will be in the 1,500, the following is the world power rankings in the 1,500:

1. Faith Kipyegon

2. Laura Muir

3. Gabriela Debues-Stafford

4. Freweyni Hailu

5. Elinor Purrier St Pierre

6. Winny Chebet

7. Rababe Arafi

8. Linden Hall

Those are the only women with sub-4:00 qualifying times, and I think it will take sub-4:00 to medal. You have to think that Faith Kipyegon is a heavy favorite for gold now and Laura Muir is a heavy favorite for one of the other medals. Any of 3-6 seem like a good bet for one of the other medals. Then, Arafi and Hall are good runners, but not quite sure if they are medal contenders. Honestly, this is one of the weaker events in the Olympic program this year.
