    Put some money on it . He’s 14/1.

    A 14 person field and Nordas likely pushing the pace are things not in Beamish’s favor. Beamish has amazing talent and is making great strides but his racing tactics have to be different for him to win today.

    No it won't because Bol won't have an asterisk next to her based on the absence of competing athletes.

    Yes, the asterix is that its an indoor meet in march in an olympic championship year.

    Shocker will sit near the back and come through for a gallant 5th place.

    Everyone one on here will say he'd have won if he'd been in a better position.

    Then they will see his last lap was still slower than the winner.

    Don't bother watching now.

    A World Championship win is a World Championship win, no there is not an asterisk to that.

    And then won Olympic Gold later that year so yeah.....maybe worth a little something!

    A year prior to winning 1500m Olympic gold, 2016, Matt C raced 1:44.xx 800m, 2015. Going back to Peter Snell era, if a 1500m man has sub-1:45 800m speed, he can kick with anyone. George Beamish is not that type of athlete.

    With Ingy not there it's a cleaner Championship. And Hocker is too fast for slow twitchers with Achilles problems. But don't worry Shocker, Nordas is Norway's best miler now.

    You sound like that balding Australian miler.
