Simbine’s having a good season mostly due to admirable consistency. He has a 4th and 5th place at the Olympics and a 4th and 5th at Worlds, but he’ll never be a superstar.
U.S., British, German, National Champs next week, Jamaica last week, so not especially deep fields here today, but a great opportunity for 'locals' to shine.
I’m pretty excited to see the women’s 1500 coming up shortly and how Muir/Welteji/Hailu/Haylom/Meshesha shake out.
Chebet was impressive. Kipyegon, Hassan, Tsegay, Gidey….who will medal in Budapest? Gidey is out of the medals if she contests the 5000. The women’s 5000 is leveling up to rival the men.
