If El G, Ali S-S and Ngeny all run the 1500 tomorrow, it would be a rare
race pitting the (very loosely) past, present and future of the event
against each other.
The WR holder and multi-time World champ vs. the Olympic champ (and #2
all-time in the Mile) vs. who most have dubbed the heir apparent in middle
distance and the 5k.
Because of ducking and budgets that have limits, there have been few 1500m
races with TWO runners of this stature over the last 20 years ... but does
anyone remember a 1500 with THREE runners with such an impressive CV
(outside a global champs) over the last 20 years?
If this race comes off with all three runners (and several others), I am
sure it will be more of a time trial than "race" but with the ability of
these three ... they may still be "racing" over the last 200m anyway ...
Should be very exciting.
