also daniel komen NOT the 7:20 for 3k runner, but a good runner in his own right having run 3:29 for 1500, last year when koech won in 13:02, komen had a big lead and had a chance at a sub 13, but he miscounted his laps and was doing a victory lap, then someone told him he had 1 lap to go, but koech had gotten a insurmountable lead by then and komen ran 13:06 for second.

anyway i am very interested in this race, i say

1. komen 12:59
2. koech 13:01
3. rupp 13:05 (i have a feeling he will have a huge breakthrough year in 2011.

You can't tell your Komens without a scorecard (and an ID?)....

The Komen you are thinking about is Daniel Kipchirchir Komen, with PBs of 3:29 and 13:04, and not the Daniel Komen that ran 7:20. This Komen ran 3:32 (and 13:04) last year.

However, THE Daniel Komen of 7:20 fame and former WR holder at 5000 ALSO ran 3:50 at Eugene in 2010. I kid you not. If Geb can unretire...

Hard to say which Daniel Komen is going to show up in Dusseldorf.

No,it was Daniel Kipchirchir Komen that ran 3:50 at Pre in 2010.

Here's the last lap:

Are you sure that the track has been Rupp-Certified? Is Nike flying in a special surfacing material and a custom air-filtration system for the building? hahahaah just jokin'!!

I hope that Mr. Rupp pops a damn good one!!! Sub 13:10 or bust!!! It's great to see him forgoing the "low-hanging fruit" like the Iowa State or University of Washington meets and flying over to Germany to rumble with the big boys.

Watch the clip from the race and then watch any of the 1990's Komen's races and tell me if you think it's the same guy.

Well, I think it's safe to say that somebody named Daniel Komen will show up.

I thought the 7:20 Komen had retired some years ago, but I'm starting to wonder.

no us cross, no world cross. a longish indoor season, a break, a later-starting outdoor season.

Why is there this constant confusion about Komen? Identifying the right Komen is harder than identifying that fish that was on here before.

I am fascinated as to why it is so hard to figure out which is which.

It's awful how the IAAF misattributes performances. They've done this with other similarly-named Kenyans in the past. For example, 2010 performances by a young marathon runner named Evans Ruto have been attributed to the former great Evans Rutto, who hasn't run at the highest level in years.
