Who you got for Women's 1500m top 3.
Here are my picks:
1.) Faith Kipyegon
2.) Sifan Hassan
3.) Birke Haylom (She might be only 17 but she has been impressive this year.)

3.) Birke Haylom (She might be only 17 but she has been impressive this year.)
BTW Sifan is probably the least likely of my picks. Just a hunch..but she might end up 7th for all I know.
Kipyegon Gold, Hassan Silver and bronze between Haylom and Weltiji. Or Muir might come out of nowhere after showing no form all season and get the bronze (just like last year)
This year is far more exciting than 2022, where there was a clear top 3 in Kipyegon, Tsegay, and Muir. The only thing I am 100% confident in is Kipyegon winning. Hassan impressed (as usual) after her fall from last night, running 3:55 and looked pretty composed through the line. Would love to see her get the silver. Meshesha surprisingly failed to advance as many thought she could contend for a medal. Welteji looked great in 3:55 and hasn't finished worse than third in a race this year, so I think she might snag the bronze. Talk about a season for Snowden, British champ over Muir then runs a huge 4 sec PB to go under 4 for the first time in 3:56. She has the most momentum at the moment but hard to replicate herculean efforts like that back to back. Muir looks good, but I think she might finish in the 4-6 range this year. Hull ran 3:57 but looked terrible the last 100 so doubt she'll factor. Haylom, Mageean, and Chepchirchir impress from heat 1, with the Kenyan woman who has been relatively under the radar controlling from the front.
1. Faith Kipyegon
2. Sifan Hassan
3. Diribe Welteji
4-6. Muir, Haylom, Mageean
7 & 8. Chepchirchir & Snowden
I see no reason not to stick with my picks in the prediction contest: 1. Kipyegon 2. Hassan 3. Welteji
Kipyegon, Hassan, Cory McGee, in no particular order
Nelly chepchirchir will shock many...
Kipyegon,Nelly, Hassan ,Welteji,Muir

Sifan
Faith
Hull
Muir
Haylom
Kipyegon, Hassan, Snowden
Chemusto would have medaled.
Kipyegon, Muir, Hassan.
I'm a little biased but I don't think anyone can hurt themselves like Muir. She'll go with the leaders and put enough distance on the field to hang on. Of that field, only Hassan and Muir know what it's like to hang onto Kipyegon for 1300m
1. Kipyegon
2-5 in no particular order: Muir, the two Ethiopians, Hassan
6. The Kenyan
7-8. Snowden and Hull
9-12. Everyone else
97% chance that Sifan takes somebody out of the race. NOT a joke!

Sadly, I do not think Hull will medal, but hope i am wrong.
Did anyone else see how easy Snowden looked down the home straight?

Thought I was going to be the first to say it but don't discount Mageean. Laura Muir is my all-time favourite but I don't think she will be first Brit in the final. Winning time for FK 3.51 with a sub 1.59 last 800m
I guess I’m a believer in Jepchirchir. Her tactics seem superior to the Ethiopians. If it’s super fast yeah Welteji/Hassan/Haylom might beat her anyway. In a 3:57+ race give me Mageean/Jepchirchir for a surprise podium
