Who would win in a 5k? 1500m?
Who would win in a 5k? 1500m?
rupp
kemboi >> rupp
Right now Rupp might have a chance, but when both in their prime (i.e. Kemboi from 2-3 years ago) Kemboi would crush him the last lap.
Kemboi
Who would win a dancing contest?
Kemboi, duh.
Kemboi would absolutely MURDER Rupp in a track 5000.
The only person in Kemboi's vicinity to race many 5000s was Shaheen, who had a 7:53 steeple / 12:48 5000.
Kemboi has barely raced the 5000 at all, so obviously his listed PR of 13:50 is meaningless. He has a steeple PR almost exactly 2 seconds slower than Shaheen, so he's sure as hell under 12:55 and an absolute lock for sub-13:00.
And he would absolutely crush Rupp on the last lap.
Ask Mr. Canova.

Mr. Canova, would Galen Rupp or Ezekiel Kemboi win in a 5k?
