I mean, it's dogsh*t on pretty much every platform. The amount of background ads and crap that force the pages to reload makes it feel like I'm in 1998.
It’s literally a 90s message board to the point of being somewhat nostalgic
I still think Kipyegon can win but her posture, facial expression, and the fact she was outclassed in the 5k in a kick may change the way she approaches the final. Does she try to run away from everyone like Jakob did? Does she trust the kick that failed her in the 5k? She had the 5k in her legs and no one else who should challenge does. It will be interesting.
The Jakob comparison is apt, because the way Kipyegon has been unbeatable in championship 1500s the last few years is by squeezing down the last 800 in a 3:52-3:54 race. In the 5k you could argue she felt the need to go too early and allowed Chebet to sit on her and make the last move.
My guess for how the final unfolds is Welteji takes it out in 62.xx and then relaxes until Kipyegon takes over at 600 and squeezes and squeezes until she’s won her 3rd OG 1500 gold, with Welteji trying to stay as close as possible for as long as she can and Hull trying to run her down for silver in the last 100m.
