Hull looked very confident and totally under control in a 3:55 semi. It's really all coming together for her. She definitely should medal. Gold or Silver will be a tough get over Kipyegon or Welteji.

lol "really coming together for her." Yeah, I guess in a manner of speaking.
Jesus, four National Records in that second semi and only one of them finished in a qualifying position. Walcott Nolan and Vissa both went sub-4 for the first time and finished 9th and 10th. Sub-4 right down to 12th place. Just crazy.
Hard to draw any conclusions as Kipyegon sat off the pace which she won't do in the final.
Sub 4 for Morgan’s girlfriend! Great race. Good job Dathan!
lol @ Morgan's girlfriend she has a name
Sinta ran a 3:58 NR but didn't make the final. I think she and Nuguse were the only 2 from OAC to have good results. Obiri is the only one who hasn't raced yet I think. Really disappointing games for them tbh. I wonder what goes wrong, because at this point it's becoming a trend that they perform literally all the time except outdoor championships.

AIU is focused on athletes racing Worlds and Olympics.
Anyone else think Elle SP is a somewhat dirty racer? She’s always pushing people and feels entitled to space. Same thing happened at the US trials with Sage Hurta Klecker
ESP runs like Steve Ovett, aggressive and willing to create space by any means necessary. It’s a style that is rarely seen, which is why it appears dirty.
Tsegay and Kipyegon both look somewhat vulnerable. Hull is the Kerr of this even, while Hiltz may play the role of Hocker.
Kipyegon looks vulnerable? She ran 3:58.6 off a 2:13.7 first 800. 2:00.6 last 800 backing off the last 100m in a semi, winning by 5+ meters. If you think silver in the 5k makes her vulnerable, you should do a reappraisal of Beatrice Chebet.

But if she knocks someone down, it is possible grounds for DQ. She has to be careful when making space that she doesn't just plow over people.

Bringing this back around because no one responded to me, but would Chebet be able to win the 1500? That was a relatively slow 5000 final (admittedly a rough final 1K) and she made it look so easy that last 100m.
