This is just frankly disrespectful/dismissive to the steeple field. Guys like Wale, Koech, Kibiwot, Serem and Sime have run 5-10s faster than him. A few of them have gapped him in nearly all their races vs him. He might be 50-50 to beat any one of them right now in a race. Putting all of them as a coin flip to beat him as an entity is wild unless he has taken a huge step. Happy to hear he was sick though.
You're probably right, but Beamish seems in good form with his 1500 indoor world championship gold. On reconsideration, I would take the field over Beamish for a bronze. But I give Beamish a better shot than any of those guys individually. I think he can break 8 in Paris. Just my opinion.
I’m a big Beamish fan, but he is too scared of a hot pace to go out that fast.

He had the confidence to say he was in 8:05 shape, so that's a good sign.
Beamish needs to grow some big balls like the Big Mazungo. Nice guy, huge talent, scared of hurting himself. Go for it George, take a risk, no one cares if you blow up in a diamond league trying for a fast time. Same every time, was unhappy with himself at Pre for not running 3:47 or 3:48. What do you expect when you sit so far back. Chicken s**t.
Didn’t see him on the screen but peacock went to commercial. Assuming he didn’t fall but thought he’d be more of a factor.
He just isn’t as good as you all think he is. Won’t be a medalist in Paris no matter what event he does.
+1 I like Beamish (as I like most of the current runners) but he has to improve significantly to be a factor in the steeple, the 1500m or any other distance.
He is a 3:49 guy! Yes but at least 3 guys can go more than 5 seconds faster if they are at their best.
And in the steeple the 2 best guys are are about 20 seconds faster than his PB and many other guys well in front of him at this time of the year.
