First off I do not want to talk about his actually age, that subject has been covered many times and talking about would just be beating a dead horse.
He went 7:28 a new U20(junior) record. He has also run 12:53 in the 5000m, from 2015, and can probably improve on that time. Will he take the crown from Farah and maybe fill the role the Bekele had for his country?

Seriously tho, you are 2 years late. Many have been hyping this young fella since he went 7:36 in 2014, but he still has a little ways to go to be top dog.

When Ethiopia left him off the team, I knew then no one would be Mo over 5k at Rio.
It is the fastest 3000m since 2011, so this could indeed be the end of Mo.How was this kid not in RIo?.

I think part of the reason the US does pretty well at the Olympics and World Champs is that Ethiopia and Kenya cannot figure out a proper way to pick their teams (for the men at least).

It's what happens when your team is so strong.
Think about the US leaving the 100H world record holder at home (the US still won gold, silver and bronze anyway, but...).
It does seem like Kenya and Ethiopia get it pretty wrong.

Agreed, I would go so far as to predict that if he keeps this up he will win the WCs 5k in London next year, and Mo will weasel out claiming some injury and will just run the 10k (which he win).
