George’s mills will focus on only 5,000 m in Tokyo

The British 5000m record holder tells Time that “it’s a smart decision” to be neutralized in the Japanese capital

George Mills found that he will simply focus on 5,000 m at the World World Athletics Championships (September 13-21).

Britain, who removed almost seven seconds in the 14-year-old British League of Mo Farah (12: 53.11), has already told the British athletics that he took into account he had been taken into account for his election at 1,500 m.

He decided that in October last year, his OAA’s European team will not be repeated in Japanese capital. The mills at the Olympic Games in Paris have reached 1500 m semi-finals and 5,000 m final. If you add his rapper region in a metric mile, on the 26-year currency, in just eight days.

One year of the games, Mils believes that he could win 5,000 m medals in Tokyo and feels that he is more dynamic compared to 1500 m. “

“This was a very decision that we did immediately after Paris,” he said. “Because we started preparing for this season in October last year, everything is directed to me, being the top 5,000 m running, I can be in Tokyo. So the purpose is to be under the chair.

“I’ve been very clear for that and for the tools and skills I have, I feel like 5,000 m (compared to 1500 m), probably my better.

So what has affected his decision? Milles broke his wrist after falling in London’s Diamond League 1500m and left successful surgery, again in St. Moritts in its high height camp. To the question whether it had an impact on not repeating it on Tokyo, he point out that this decision was made in October last year.

What about being intended in the Japanese capital? The 1500 meters come from 5,000 m, a one-day gap between the last and the final of the last and taxi.

Mils says that “he has been affected by the decision,” and if 5,000 m were 1500 m ago, it would be another story, and we could both do. “

However even 3. 28.36 in the Paris Diamond League 3.

“It was this (the extra bonus of the year),” he added. “I really had no special 1500 m to work before the race and only really really busy (3: 32.67 in the Stockholm Diamond League). I was more than surprised to many people around me.

“After Paris, I said to Thomas (DreissiSiSiSiSiSiSiSiSiSiSiSigacker – Mills):” Do you think we have to do 1500 m now?

Mills secured 5,000 m and closed 3000 m silver medals, completing Jakob Ongebrigtsen twice, but still should the podium become the world’s big world championships.

To do this, he probably needs to challenge Norway, who has been a double, who has double 15,000/3000 ms of the world and the European closed, has failed to take the Achilles tendon injury.

Although this season is still opened outside the opening of “IngeBigtsen”, Mills believes that the double price at an altitude of 5,000 m will be threatened in Tokyo. “He will be ready,” says Britain. “I don’t think he needs someone to get out. Americans will also be very strong, and East Africans cannot be discounted. “

The choice of the World Athletics Championship is not yet official, but the mill is the only Brito to the automatic qualification standard of 5,000 m (13:01.00). In fact, his national record is 12. The sixth time of 46.59 is the first time this season by everyone else.

So what are his tactics for Tokyo?

“In terms of circulation, there are two 5,000 m race (September 19 and 21) within one day. It says without saying, but I just have to make sure I get through heating.

“If that means I have to run a little heavier than I thought at first, so you don’t want a few days soon. It must be prepared.

“You enter every race trying to win, but I think about our current plan and trail if I received a medal than we had a very positive stone this season.
