Overwhelming Favorite For Olympic Gold

Thoughts on Joshua Cheptegei? Maybe not at Rojas type lock, but he could be off his game and still win comfortably (though I'm guessing no wave-light in Tokyo)

I agree! Cheptegei was a very close second!

He is running at full speed! But I agree that his FS now is not the same as in 2 months. I'm hoping Lyles is on the same plan.

Yeah I never said he wasn't running at full speed, I get that he is. I meant that his times early in the season are never indicative of what he ends up producing at the Olympics or Worlds. He often looks a lost cause in some of his DL races, far removed from even being a contender for a medal but he seems to always end up on the podium.

Timothy Cheruiyot.

He hasn't even competed this year. There's no way you can consider someone in this situation a lock.

Beatrice Chepkoech

Again, no competitions yet outdoors this year. Last year she lost her only top-level race in her specialty. She might have more upside than anyone else in the SC, but unless you have insight into her training, there's no way of telling what shape she'll be in.

There's a Mr. Kiplimo on line 2 for you.

Timothy Cheruiyot.

and a Mr. J Ingebrigtsen holding on line 3.
