    Nick Willis is weighing up whether he drops the 5000 metre distance at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

    Nick Willis is weighing up whether he drops the 5000 metre distance at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

    30 June 2018

    The kiwi middle distance has recovered from a stress fracture in his leg and will compete in the 1500 metres at the latest diamond league event in Paris overnight.

    Willis has already made the decision to focus solely on the 1500 metre distance this season.

    He says his speed seems to be just as good as it ever was, two years out from Tokyo.



    The men's 1500 metres is scheduled to start at 6:39am.
