Since Fisher got injured and couldn't compete at worlds he ended up coming back late in the season and having some extremely solid results. Wouldn't it make sense to leverage this fitness into running the 5k road championship?
no. he's above road racing. you only race the roads when you're too slow for the track. then when you're too slow for the roads, you go to the trail.
I think you should have to have run a road race in the past year to qualify for a road running championship. Sure, he would likely beat everyone we're sending, but the idea of giving someone a spot without competing in that event is a slippery slope. Everyone who qualified has run a road mile, or road 5k like BAA 5k or USATF 5k or some other race. Grant has been 100% on the track the past year. The purpose of the road championships is to help grow the road racing scene, he's not doing that.
No not necessary with a road run this year! Check the start lists.
Jakob would have raced had he not been married today. His wife of today wouldn´t let him. I suppose they are having a short honeymoon before the base training starts.

Yes he should’ve in my view but I understand ending the season on a high note. Would it be that much fun to extend the season only to see Kejelcha distance himself on you again?
Hoping this was sarcasm.
As far as Fisher, it would have been awesome to see him in this 5k. Without Jakob he's almost a lock for silver and the longer the distance the better for him vs Kejelcha. 50/50 for American gold here.
Regardless, we have a stud in the 1 miler in Kessler. I think he'll at least silver and would be awesome to see him take Cheryouts scalp.

You think he’d beat Kejelcha based on what exactly? And the longer the better when Kejelcha gapped him a couple of weeks ago. I like Grant…I think he’d let the leaders go if they went under 12:50 pace.

Grant was gapped slightly in a 3k. Grant is getting better each race. You think he'd let the leaders go in a sub 12:50? Wth reasoning behind that? Who's going to go sub 12:50? The rest of the top ethios that Grant already destroyed in that same race? That 7:25 is worth a 12:41. Are you out of your mind???
