All credit to Laros for a tough race, falling and putting himself back in the running.
That said I love new talent killing it, but I see Laros making the finals as an accomplishment.
Am I alone in thinking this a crazy take on Tinman's part? Maybe a play to attract more young remotely coached athletes?
Is he still allowed to use that name?

Gold? No way.
Best chance is bronze if Yared or Timothy mess up.
At the moment, I'd have it going 3 medals between 4 people.
Jakob, Josh, Yared, Timothy.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Laros has a chance, but it would be a surprise.
In a 3:31-3:32 race he would have a shot (like a few other hopefuls), but it likely won't be slower than 3:28. Can he run 3:29 and medal? Sure, but the race has to play to his strengths.
His mile race after falling was super impressive. Even if he had won, I probably still wouldn't put him as a gold medal favorite. He's a legitimate medal contender and someone to be reckoned with in the future.
I think he will get bronze and is an outside bet for gold.
Unibet say he is 40-1 to win. Those seem generous odds.
But he was injured earlier in the season, so might not have a lot left for the final after the rounds.
Paris is probably a year too early for him. The way he is progressing, I wouldn't be surprised if he surpasses both Jakob and Kerr next season.
He saw a young prodigy runner and it reminded him of the good old days
