Both 1500 races happen before the 5000. I don’t think Donaghu has enough speed to place in the 1500. If I was the coach I would have her do the 5000 only. I think we’ll see Heymach do the double.

I see it similarly. I think both Heymach and Donaghu have a chance to win the 5000 and both might score in the top 3. In the 1500, Heymach has more of an outside shot, but it is going to be extremely difficult to take down Hurta from Colorado for the top slot. I'm thinking both have better shots at the 5000. Heymach has more speed and nobody seems to know what she is capable of in her current state of peaking, so I'm thinking the 1500 is a wild card, depending on pace and tactics. Doubling may be a good idea for her, but I'm not sure, though watching her in that crazy 800/5000 double in 70 minutes, I'm tempted to give her the benefit of the doubt.
