What? McSweyn ran a 3:31 recently just behind Tim. Is Tim decor too?
Just because he hasn't run well in the less important 5000 doesn't mean McSweyn is done
I don't take in account the times.
There a lot of people that have done 3:29 and they are medium.
I would see more the progress of Katir.
I would see 2 or 3 of the top Ethiopians (those that have ranked in the trials but not Tefera).

I'm confused. In the last five years, four people have run 3:29: Tim, Jakob, Elijah & Jake.
Which of them are "medium"?

Tim is not at the same level as Asbel KIPROP.
Jake for a 26 years runner, has almost no great achievement (as senior) even in the European level.
Elijah case could be anything, there runners that are runners that are good when juniors, then fade later.
Abdelaati IGUIDER has 3:28:79 be he is medium.
So weird. So Kiprop is confirmed doper so he doesn't matter.
You mention Katir and some new Ethiopians but they've accomplished far less than Jake or McSweyn. They would be much more of a "decor"

"McSweyn, Tefera, Lewandowski"
These runners are definitely for the décor .
They are done for me.
Ladies & Gentlemen, welcome to a strange parallel world. One where a guy that just turned 26 and ran 3.30/7.28 last year is……..wait for it……….
Done !

I'm not naïve to think that this world is only formed of two colors: white and black.

Eh? He's a convicted doper.
Doping apologists really starting to take over the board of late. Worst thing is they are actually from Africa. Previously it was mostly white suburban middle-aged hobby joggers with a weird passion for watching rocket fuelled Africans dominate, or trolls paid by the Russians or Aden to spread the idea that 'everybody dopes (especially the Brits)'. Now it's the real deal hard-core Morrocans and such. Even El K denied that Kenyans dope, and was from Basingstoke anyway. Passant openly praises Ramzi and Kiprop.

People get paid to post on LetsRun forums? Where can I sign up?
Obviously, somewhere in Moskva.

Why are all these us olympians running this so close to the trails?
I don't think there are any trails near the Monaco stadium.
Stockholm entries are up too but much less interesting than Monaco.

You are approaching new low levels Coevett. Take care of yourself.
Yeah jabouko, LOADED!
Look at that M100m—it’s the top guys plus Tortu and Vicaut for “local flavor”, 2 really interesting sprinters but slow so far this year.
And the W200m, are you kidding me? Great pre-Olympic matchup.
We might be able to get a read on just how sprint-fast the fancy new track in Eugene is, by comparing trials winners internationally. I wonder if there will be good prize money or if some will play possum, like ADG.
Tim has actually been much more consistent than the doper Asbel Kiprop was. Silas Kiplagat was the better circuit runner. Tim barely ever lost between the 2016 Olympics and this year's Kenyan Olympic trials.
Stockholm entry lists are in. Very weak, everybody obviously saving themselves for Monaco except Tim - who clearly needs some races.
