True - but this is not a "those races" race. Quite possibly the deepest field ever for a 10000 qualifier, and with only 3 spots on the line with at least 4 global medal quality kickers (Gebrehiwet, Kejelcha, Barega and Jeilan if recovered) not even those can risk a sit and kick on the last laps race. And all the others have to work together to drop at least 2 of them for it to be even 1 opening left to fight over at the end.
Also, considering Kenya and Uganda are almost certainly gonna send men who likes to run fast from the front (Cheptegei, Kamworor, Tanui, Ronex Kipruto - unless surprises on those qualfiers) it's probable that the Ethiopian federation have this time taken steps to make sure a fast qualifer. I wish I could be there in person. Race of the Year - I wish I could be there in person. :-)
