Why is surpassing Austin Mudd significant?

Mudd's time, quite honestly, is not extraordinary for a junior. Fernandez was faster at that age, and if he does go to World Juniors, the Kenyans are going to leave him so far behind that when he "unleashes" his trademark kick, it'll be completely futile.

He said that he was a soccer player some years ago, like Hicham El Guerrouj, his favourite athlete. And also said that he's considering to run 5000m too.

German Fernandez ran 3:39.00 as a junior. If Bruno's altitude training goes well he'll improve that time.

And Mudd can still drop time. He's run the 1500 twice this year, sitting and kicking to win fairly comfortably each time. His 3:40 is hardly a peak performance

Ask the Brojo's, dude.

Bruno is in Brazil right now. Competing at IAAF South American circuit.

There's no reason for him to enter this forum at this moment of the night, coming from a big effort.

3:38 is the Olympic Standard. He isn't too far from achieve it.

I know. I know. All those Kenyan juniors must be lying about their age because Kenyans are nothing special at the senior level
