Also notably, Callum Elson (aka The Distance Project on YouTube)
UKA sends no 200m, 400m or 800m Men to Worlds.........
If only Jingy was running
Glasgow is far from England.
Great news. This makes the race infinitely more exciting.
If it was just Nuguse, the outcome wouldn't matter a jot to the 1500m this year. But now there's another 1500m gold medal contender in the race. I think Nordås might also be running but I honestly don't expect anything from him.
Would be hard to send someone in the 200m with it not being an event. But totally agree why aren’t more british athletes competing
I think Nordås is better in the 3000m than the 1500 this time of the year…
Why isn't Piers Copeland selected? Didn't he win the 1500m? Doesn't have the standard?
He doesn't have the standard. Elson and Fogg both selected which is good.
Look at the Road to Glasgow here:
Not sure who else anyone would expect to go. Gourley and Hodgkinson have wild cards that they have not taken up. Others with entry standards didn't compete or win at the Championships at the weekend.
Yeah in theory he should be. I think he's running the 3000m in Madrid on Friday, so we'll see how he goes.
How much money needs to be raised for Kerr vs Jakob in 1) beer mile 2) donut mile?
I hope that Jakob does not come with a blindfold. I heard that the blindfold cures his injuries
Has to be the outright favourite after that show in NY. Barega biggest contender imo.
I’m not a fan of UK Athletics but so many of our top athletes just have chosen to give this a swerve for whatever reason. No Keely, Katie Snowden, Melissa CB, Dina etc on the women’s side. We have so many strong men middle distance runners that aren’t going I can’t even list them.
Disappointing for fans. Not sure why so many of our top athletes are missing this. It’s far enough away from the Olympics but I guess they have other goals.
Hope Nuguse takes him down. Like he did in 2023 at the Zurich 1500 post the WC's
Good for Josh Kerr either way!
This is gonna be a cracker of a race. Kerr vs Nuguse vs Barega at 3k is an incredible matchup. My prediction; Nuguse 7:23 WR to win it, Kerr 2nd also in 7:23, Barega just behind at 7:24.
its a championship race man...there is no way they are anywhere near world record territory. I would be surprised if it even got down to the low 7:30s, given there are no rabbits and pacing lights. Also look at the people in the field, nuguse, barega, kerr, they all have faith in their kicks, and for good reason, being 3:28 guys in the case of nuguse and kerr and 3:32? in the case of barega. The pace will probably dawdle hard, then with 1500 to go one of them will get to the front and push a little. Barega as he always does will surge hard with 400 to go and either he hangs on or he gets run down by the 1500m guys.
Is Girma running? I wouldn’t count him out either as the WR holder. Should be an awesome race. Anyone but Kerr and I will be happy
