Hard to say, we don't really know what kind of shape Bekele is in.

It might surprise you, but Kenenisa has only run under 7:30 four times. Tariku has done it three times. I would be surprised if Kenenisa went under 7:30 here, but I've been surprised before. I would also be a bit surprised if Kenenisa won in Doha.

doha last year was incredible, alamanirew ran 7:27, right? the winner will definitely be sub 7:30 but i dont know if it will be bekele. that being said, his 10k in ireland was great so i think he has a shot, but realistically i think he'll be 7:30-7:32

KB will run sub 7:30. I estimate his winning time to be
7:26 for the win. 6 runners are gonna go sub 7:30.
1500m will be won by Kaki in 3:28 high with Kiprop and
Kiplagat dipping under 3:30 as well.

Kenenisa will never run 7:26 again. Those days are behind him, and he knows it.

You really struggle with reading comprehension and a lack of intelligence.
Kenenisa has run 7:25.79 and he has lost a bit of his speed. Kenenisa never had the margin for error at 3000 that Komen, for instance, did. Komen had 3:29 and 12:39. Kenenisa had 3:32 and 12:37. Kenenisa now probably has 3:34 at best. Kenenisa will NEVER run 7:26 again. This does nothing to detract from his greatness. It is too bad you cannot understand this, but that is not my fault.

For the record, I was about the only one who predicted that Kenenisa would win at Brussels after dropping out at Daegu. We've all been wrong before, but you lack a rudimentary understanding, which renders communication with you to be excruciatingly laborious.

OK, don't place a limit on Kenenisa. You can expect that he could break 7:20 today. I say he never runs as fast as 7:26 again. My opinion shouldn't alter yours and it shouldn't upset you. You can hope for whatever you want.

Don't shallow your words now chet. When others posters make bold statements they have live with the criticisms and so should you. You make such a limiting statement against the greatest distance runner who still have 6-7 years of incredible running and think you will get off should your staement prove wrong? NOPE

Bekele will not run under 7:30 today. He said himself that his training has been limited due to his fear of re-injury. At his age, coming back from injury, with limited training, I have a hard time believing he has the speed necessary to run under 7:30. I also would not be surprised to see him lose today.

That said, a loss today should not indicate that he will be unable to defend his 10000m title. That's a different event, and his 26:43 WL last year shows he is still the man to beat over 10k. The 5k will be more closely contested, but by that time hopefully his training will have progressed to the point that he's sharper. He should be on the medal stand for the 5000 as well.

"at his age"???
Is Bekele even 30 yet? You act like he's old.

You can continue to live in your fantasy world, while I live in a world of empirical fact. You may indeed be happier living among your imaginative creations.
