Gidey was tired. Race slowed down to 75 second laps. She needed to keep it at 70,69,68

Nobody wanted to take the lead during the race tho , we gotta give her props, she went out like a warrior

That's where you need a teammate you can tuck in behind who is willing to kill themselves for 10 or so laps.

So Gidey is the world record holder and she established it 2 months ago ? She peaked too early in the season unfortunately.

1500m in 20 mins?

Will anyone push out? Or another pedestrian 3 laps then a sprint?

Kenya should win, but all comes down to tactics

Ironically the 1500 is supposed to be the premier event in sports. The sprints overtook it and never looked back.

56 sec first lap. Pace is fast as hell. Good!
