Why does his 7:27 TIME TRIAL, and inability to run a good TIME TRIAL in the 5k this year mean he can race well in a championship race?
Apparently you are beyond stupid. Alamirew WON the 3000 in Doha with the fastest time in the world in the previous 4 years. Great ability at somewhat shorter distances than a championship distance typically serves a runner well in a championship race, due to the race often being transformed into a de facto shorter race, meaning many 1500s are more like a 1000 meter race, in essence, and the same is true of 5000 meter races being more like 3000 meter races. You are truly not very bright.
