My opinion: Kenenisa Bekele definitely have every intention on doubling in the 5000m and 10000m at the Olympics. Hopefully the Americans including Mebrahtom Keflezighi (he'll be in the 10000m) will run a team race and not be trounced severely. Vipam |

To all PEOPLE WHO SAID I was wrong or crazy, when I said Bekele would break Haile's world records when I started this post and others-I GUESS I WASN'T WRONG! He said he won't double at the Olympics but he will if his federation allow him to run both events. He will run one at the Ethopian Championships and hope to be selected to the other event. Kenenisa believe or not is capable of running much faster then his world records in both the 5000m and 10000m (with better pacing he could have lowered the records more) and eventually will threaten 12:30.75 and 26:05.00 before the 2008 Olympics.

Vipam, I agree. At the moment I think KB is just "Breaking" the records. By this I mean following the required pace to just better the old mark, kind of just to officially do it remove some pressure etc. Next year, or the year after I expect him to try and "reset" the records. By this I mean virtualy unpaced just try and run the respective distances as fast as he can, putting the records as far out of reach as possible. It is then and only then we will see sub 26 etc that people are talking. |

look @ the 2nd post of this lonnngg and famous thread, Vipam a guy named 'facts' said this: "titles-- yes; records-- no... now that they've curbed the epo thing, it will be a long time before we see 12:39 and 26:22 again..." guess he didn't know jack shit! Vipam what other events do you predict? 100m? 200m? 400m? you a genius! Will you marry me and have my babies!! |

I say give Bekele a few more weeks and he might have a shot at the 5k and 10k world records, as for now, he's running decently. |

Bekele is the best that I have ever seen, but sub-26 might be an impossibility. 4:11 for 6.2 miles, 25 sub-63 laps in a row. I agree that he will only get faster, but can he run that fast? If so, who is going to pace him? A professional 1500m runner? Just think about how fast that really is. On a related note, is there any way to calculate the absolute fastest that a human could potentially run? |

Bekele will take little bites out of this record and get his bonuses along the way. Much like Bubka did with the Pole vault record years ago...No way did he go all out. My guess is that he can go at least 10-15 seconds faster.. |

That picture of Bekele finishing his world record 10000 suggests that he and his brother, Tariku, got their bibs confused. So maybe he is human after all. |

Vipam, STOP LYING. Here is your prediction, on Page 15 of this thread, 2nd from the bottom: I think if the weather and pacing are both extremely good that he will run 12:38.07-he will be trying to send out a message early! If the pacers don't do their job well, I think Kenenisa will still run 12:43.75. Vipam You have major insecurity issues. I love it that this website saves posts so we can catch people like Vipam misleading us. |

Bekele, in my opinion, is now the best distance runner ever. It's only a matter of time until he breaks the 2 mile and the 3000 record. |

Lone Star Man did you really go thru the entire thread trying to find something to single out concerning my post (no need to ask you had to). **** You are correct about page 15; however, in another thread prior to his 5000m race (someone's else thread pretaining to predictions) after I got the lastest update (I posted a time BEFORE his run) on Kenenisa's fitness I came within .20 of his new 5000m record! **** Search for that thread and see how close I was, my friend. Seriously Lone Star you know what your problem is your the one with the insecuritites and I guess the only way you can grab attention (albeit briefly) is to try to attack others. I hope everythings going well with you, GOODBYE Lone Star. VIPAM Kenenisa Bekele don't want people to think he will double in Athens, but its part of his plans-now only if the Federation will cooperate! |
