I hope so, too. He's a joy to watch, and I think that a lot of people still underestimate him.

Abel has shown twice that he can run a fast time in a championship. His time of 2;06:54 in Berlin 2009 is quite close to the Olympic marathon record (2:06:32). If he can reproduce it in the London Olympics, he should win it or place second. He could be the best bet for a top medal.

Naturally I'm pulling for an American to win, but if a non-American wins I hope it's Kirui, in large part because so many people have underrated him.
