And the fact that you are impressed by 10k times around 27min shows just how far the sport has fallen.
Actually, you stated quite clearly that Mo Farah is the reason that we don't see 'fast' times in the 5k and 10k anymore:
The reason fast distance times dont happen anymore is simple: guys like Mo Farah have ruined the sport.
How far the sport has fallen hey? 27:01 is slow for a championship now is it? The opening kilometer was slow then it was 2:40s from there. Exactly what I was getting at with my post, nostalgia blurs your memories. 2015 was the third fastest 10k in a major champs ever, that is the Olympics and the World Champs combined.
Be prepared for Bekele's Olympic 10k record to go in Rio by the way. I'll dig this thread up in August.
The EPO era of Bekele is gone. Get used to 26:50s.
No, he did not. He stated "Guys LIKE Mo Farah".
Not "Mo Farah IS THE REASON".
