"I feel I am in World record breaking shape" says Kenny boy. http://www.iaaf.org/GP05/news/Kind=2/newsId=29490.html Does anyone thinks otherwise? He also said he has been training in Albuquerque, NM for two months. Has anyone cought a sight of him to learn of his training? Wejo was also saying Kenny was training in Flagstaff too. |

It all depends on having good rabbits that stay in the race to more than half of the time. I believe he could get some of those pace-setters from his own country who would be willing to press the speed upto world record speed. |

How did you know, when I read he was running the 5000m at the meet less than a week ago? Does anyone think he will break his world record? |

26:14.6 (with good but not great pacing) |

Funny how that's exactly the same time as Tinman predicted...You wouldn't be ripping it off him, I hope? |
| Vipam |

Honestly Nam I feel Bekele could go faster (26:07.9) with GREAT pacing and good weather but I feel he won't get that pacing. Thats funny me and Tinman picked the same time and no I didn't see his before I posted. |

That's because the IAAF defecates in their collective pants at the suggestion, a very logical one, of using "staggered" rabbits where the 2nd and 3rd rabbits jog along slowly, jumping in at WR pace later in the race so they are fresh to pace Bekele when the 1st guy gets tired. |

I don't see how (or why) that would be such a huge problem. If the guy wants to go for the WR, and he gets the people together to put him through, why not? |

I agree with you. Looking again to one of those Geb's past record breaking performances from Hengelo, mainly in the 5 and 10Ks, army of Ethiopian as well as Kenyan contignets provided support through rabbiting for him. It could easly be organized and done her too, so long as WR is needed. |

What the f*** is wrong with you? Are you brain dead? Explain to me the precise logical process by which you arrive at the finishing time of 26:07.9, as opposed to 26:08.34 or 26:07.81. |

That was before the Kenyan Federation starting frowning upon its top athletes being used to rabbit rival countries to World Records. The use of Kenyans maybe be neccessary but it won't be as easy to secure the top Kenyans for pacing chores unless a Kenyan competitor can also benefit from the pacing or enough money is passed. |

What about 25:53.459012023023002? That is, once a watch with that precision is invented. |

True that, in the arrival of Bekele, AK have been completely dismayed (after ten years of Geb's long distance reign) and ordered all of its runners to stop co-operating with the Ethiopians. But I beleive there are enough people from Ethiopia such as (Geberemariam, Sihine, Dinkasa, Dejene, even Mezegebu Assasfa and a bunch of other new young crops) can lend support to the effort. |

El Cajon and tach44444 Thank you its good to hear that every now and again since a few posters like to repeatedly belittle my every post-Thank You! |
| seriously |
| ||
Out of curiosity, how are copying and pasting IAAF articles and "knowledge" the same thing? |
| Jamaican Bobsledder |

I normally like your posts, if only because they take everyone's attention away from which fourth-rate American runner is superior, but come on, why predict a time to the tenth of a second? |

seriously while you go slide under a rock somewhere and stay there forever. There comes a time when you need to stop your pity insults at Vipam and accept that he has way more knowledge than you will every have moron. He was the one who brought up Kenenisa B., Tirunesh Dibaba, and now Augustine before they erupted on the world scene. Vipam is the man and several posters hope he keep spreading his knowledge and predictions. |

Look all he does is look at results and say these people will blow up over the scene. He does this for a LOT of athletes. If you do this kind of meandering predicting for just about every fast African under the age of 19 you are bound to be right some of the time! I wouldn't say Vipam is ahead of the game by any stretch of the imagination. If you stay on top of results from the IAAF then you know just about as much as he does. The only difference is that he decides to post about it. Not that big of a deal now is it? |
