shorter road races. Her 5000 meters qualifying race was a mess in terms of strategy and fitness. She admitted afterwards that her decision to gap the field early was stupid and that she was lucky to qualify on time. Of course she could redeem herself in the final, but she admitted that she doesn't have any confidence in her kick so I'm not sure how she could manage to do that. If I recall correctly she is 32 years old, so she'd be 34 at the next world championships and 35 at the next Olympics. She may be nationally competitive at that point (although even that is starting to look less likely), but not competitive internationally. She can hit the road circuit and bank some prize money for the next few years.
