You've clearly never seen either of them after a race:

I especially love this one:

Another great one:

Jos was not happy about Bekele's rivals seeing him sprawled on the ground like that.

And, above, Geb looks like he's out for lunch with friends, there. You can almost see the EPO juice seeping from his veins. Moron.

You also never saw his 5K and 10K WR's. I saw both of them. For all of the last 3-4 laps, especially in that 5,000, he was in AGONY. Each time around his face was more and more in pain, grimacing the whole way. They can recover much faster, but while they are doing it, it hurts. It's the same for a lot of top athletes in shape

You people are a waste of time; you make up your minds on no evidence whatsoever and absolutely refuse to be reasoned with.

Bekele looks like he's really grinding it out in this photo, eyeballs out effort here. 4:01 must be his ultimate mile ability.

Once again, Wrong is completely right.

re: Wrong

4:01 is not Bekele's ultimate mile ability, but it may be his ultimate on a track like that one. His 4:01 there would be comparable to at least a 3:57 at someplace like Fayetteville, and in a close competitive race - which Millrose was not - he'd take a couple more seconds off of that.

It almost looks dull the way they look so easy. And to me it just makes their fantastic running look dull and a little less inspiring, I know it sounds stupid.

Huh?? Dumazz kids..some people just shouldnt be allowed to post on here or anywhere else.

Any chance we can somehow enforce the no-teenagers-allowed rule on this board?

True about the striking difference between the WR guys of today and those in the past. Particular the Ethiopians today. They never look pressed. Watch the Moorcroft race if you get the chance. The guy is gritting his teeth and completely wasted at the finish. Same with Aoutia in his record breaking efforts. They look like it took superhuman effort. These Ethiopians like Geb and Bekele look totally fresh the whole way, even after running 53-56 at the end of a 10,000. WTF? Is this something they work at?

But I don't get moved by these guys and aren't as thrilled as watching the runners of the past who looked like they went through unbelievable pain and effort to reach their accomplishments.

You've never seen Geb's 10k or 5k WRs

re: sniffson

Conjecture! Human bodies change with the winds of time. You are now accusing someone of something no court of law could establish merit for. This is at least ignorance and at most liable.

After watching Bekele get destroyed by Lagat, my suspicions were confirmed: Bekele dopes. Why do I say so? Because there's no way a guy can get the wr in the 5k and 10k with that lack of footspeed. There are guys like Alan Webb who have 3:48 mile PRs that run their 5k at about the same pace Bekele runs his 10k. How can Bekele not even be able to break 4 minutes in a mile and still run the times he does in the distance events? It has to be endurance enhancing drugs.
No one would have ever thought Bekele was not going to break 4 at Millrose. It's inconceivable for a runner of his stature to not be able to at a minimum break four. Yes, it was his first mile and it was on a tough indoor track, but c'mon American high school kids like Steve Magness and Galen Rupp have run that fast for a full mile! Are you telling me the greatest long distance runner in the world can't even break four minutes for a mile on an indoor track?
He's doping and that's what gives him the endurance to run the crazy ass paces that he does for long distance events, but in the shorter stuff like the mile, the dope doesn't do anything for his lack of foot speed.
