I dunno why everyone is worried about the Aussies. This entirely neutral medal table I found has us way clear of them...

That’s the one, true correct methodology of course.

Cool heads win in the end….

So we turn up and beat the two big boys the Danes and the Italians and yet still not the fastest team because someone else turned up faster too, and it's the Australians of course...

That's just his running style, it always looks like he's pulling up with cramp

Charlie's probably regretting not going for the mixed now...

 

On the selfish plus side for the team chances, it means one less race in his legs. He probably should be in both heat and final of the relay. Matt should get the heat off.

Nervous now about the 1500m. Who do people have winning: Kerr, Ingebritsen, or someone else??

Unless something crazy happens I can't see it being anyone other than one of those 2. Neither Tim C or Nugese have looked great in rounds.

 

Jakob can't win if it doesn't go hard, which likely rules out someone like Hocker who has the best finish but probably won't be close enough. Then it is a question of which of Kerr or Jakob is in the best shape.

 

Shame for Lina there, she was on the verge of smashing her PB but obviously was at her limit. Again, like Charlie, potentially good for our relay chances even if disappointing for her!
