Gwen is fairly similar to Mola. Granted Mola has to come off the front pack into T2 to challenge and Gwen can probably start 60 seconds down, but neither, if it's an Olympic, is likely to be front pack coming out of the swim and neither is able to lead the chasing pack on the bike.
When people talk about being 'complete' they refer to dominating the bike pack, keeping the chain going and taking massive turns (in addition to swimming front pack and challenging on the run). Jorgenson and Mola don't, and can't do that.
For Gwen that's fine because she doesn't have the equivalent of AB,JB and JG to worry about (Non Stanford could potentially threaten).
In terms of Rio, assuming they are fully fit AB,JB and JG are pretty much guaranteed to finish in the top 6 (and probably higher). However Mola is either going to be in the top 3 or below 10th and Gwen is either going to be 1 or below 10th. Rio's hills could obliterate her if people get away on the swim.
