    Stewart McSweyn is having a terrific season.

    Rank 7 in the Olympic Games

    Hardly representative of his entire season. He was 2nd at Aussie trials, 3rd at Gateshead, 2nd in Doha (3:31), 4th in Monaco (3:29.51), Oly (7th, 3:31.9), 1st Brussels (3:31), 1st Padova (3:33), 1st Oslo (3:48), 2nd Pre (3:48), 2nd Gateshead (7:28), 3rd Lausanne (7:35), plus a couple 5000s (13:05/13:20). That's a very good season, which includes 6 sub-3:50 miles converted or not, and a 7:28.

    I agree on McSweyn. He doesn't have the speed to be at the top with Jakob or Cheruiyot, but he's making a name for himself by running at the front with them. It's a strategy that can win him a DL against the right competition.

    Its the only way he can win though. With a limited range in speed he has no plan B.

    Kudos for the effort though, but the style needs to change in order to bring some more speed to table.

    It's too bad that John Walker and Steve Scott didn't change their style to acquire the speed they would needed to beat Seb Coe and Steve Ovett.

    John was limited by a chronic achilles issue that kept him off speed work. He started out as an 800m guy but had to move up.

    re: OozmaKappa

    Jakob was blunt and a bit irritated during the pre meet presser. They asked him why he chose to run in the 1500 instead of the 5000. He paused and then asked, "Why doesn't a long jumper choose to be in the high jump?"

    Then they asked him a stupid question regarding what it's like to be the third most popular Norwegian athlete behind Karsten Warholm and Tiril Eckhoff. She is a star biathlete, BTW. I thought Jakob held his composure well during that one.

    Also it sounded like Faith Kipyegon might have some interest in the marathon. Difficult to tell because there wasn't a followup question. But it sounded like she said she was looking forward to the big things ahead of her including following in the footsteps of Eliud Kipchoge.

    Hassan was very relaxed and joking around. She said she took a training break after Tokyo and that's why she is focusing on shorter distances. She tried to lower expectations for tomorrow's race, including saying that Kipyegon is a little bit faster than her. I'm convinced it will be a cat and mouse race. Hassan said she didn't know if it would be fast or 4:10. Hassan kidded Kipyegon by saying they always push each other but tomorrow she hopes Kipyegon can't push and will fall off.

    Impressive presentation by Hassan, especially after arriving late amidst some concern she wouldn't arrive at all.
