Common sense would suggest she makes the 5k her priority now, coming from the 800m, although one would think she would only be a medal threat in a tactical, slow race. But seeing as the 10k is second, at the end of the programme, you can't blame her if she runs both.
I think the ultimate win though, because medal chances are a long long shot anyway, is just being on the track at the Olympics after they tried to essentially retire her (and others) from the sport.

Note Caster Semenya is entered in the 5k at Regensburg this weekend.

It was a Swiss 1-2-3 in Geneva today in the w100m
Kambundji won in 11.07 ahead of Salome Kora in a PB of 11.12 and Del Ponte 11.18. Schippers was 4th in 11.25.
In the w400. Lieke Klaver finally broke 51 secs with a PB equalling 50.98. She's been looking like she coukd all season if she paced it right. She finished just ahead of Azevedo, 51.02, her 2nd fastest after her recent big PB of 50.6.
In the w4x100m SUI won in 42.42 ahead of NED 42.82. NED were not quite at full strength with their usual team as Visser is still recovering from injury, so Klaver stood in on leg 3.
The Swiss are looking like they could be an outside bet for a medal in this event.

According to an article in the Dutch press, Schippers suffered from a reoccurrence of her back injury in March, as well as a hamstring injury. This goes someway to explain her times.
Bennema said that in their winter training camp in RSA she had shown glimpses of her old form, giving an example of 2x150ms in 16.4 with little rest in between. But the injuries have prevented her running properly again.
he has reasseswd this years target and they are now talking about trying to make the final rather than trying to win a medal. After todays race in Geneva, she will struggle to get past the SF.

And since Hassan is currently coached by Tim Rowberry (Salazar's former assistant), it's not a surprise she is doing the same thing she did under Salazar.
