Sounds like they are preparing to make excuses for why their men’s team is going to get beaten by Team USA. They know next year will be the first year in a long time that Team USA brings its A team to world XC, and they know they can’t hang with the best Americans.
You're cute.
Kenya's junior teams would be able to "hang with" the best Americans.
Kenya's senior teams will torch the Americans, just like the torched one of your best ever NCAA runners (Ritzenhein) into 62nd place when he ran the race. (3m40s behind the winner -- 1 Bekele 35:06, 2 Tadesse 35:20, 5 Kipchoge 35:37, Shaheen 35:53 fyi.)

News flash: this isn't 2005 anymore. The US men's distance team is now right there with the Kenyans and Ethiopians.
