Genzebe pulls out of her first race. Fine. Again at Prefontaine she pulls out, it is worrisome, but she has a 5+ second PR on the field, and a not 100% could easily win gold. Now she drops out of Oslo. As the brojos say, "it is time to worry." I can't imagine her being the favorite anymore with all of this interrupted training.
Discus.
Yes. She is gorgeous.
Also, she is world record holder. Faith looks good, but I really don't think she has a sub 3:53 in her. If Genzebe gets a few races in, I think she will win. She ran faster than has Faith has this season for 1500m in February, and that was indoors, AND she still had 109 meters to run after that split was taken. Dibaba really can't lose.
She can win the 5000m, too. She just can't get both. Yeah, Ayana has run 14:12, but remember, people: Genzebe ran a TACTICAL 14:15 last year. The WR is toast if she has a good shot at it with fresh legs.
Yes, she hasn't raced due to whatever reason, but she will be well rested.
