Pls stay on topic. The topic is Bekele's decline and I insightfully gave insight that his decline was all evident in his shabby biomechanics!!! The man had never ran with shoulders that almost seemed like they were going to be dislocated, and arm movements looking like it had been placed in a cast before!!!! This has been going on since 2020 and aggravated as he was gradually vaccinated and irradiated and so on and forth......I just never mentioned it earlier as I wasn't around on LRC in 2020-2023 June.

If he runs 2:06 it's not good enough to get in the Ethiopian Olympic team, but pretty much would get him in every other team in the world outside of Africa.
I mean, he just ran 2:04 3 months ago, right? Would be really silly to write him off.
I'm glad he doesn't read this message board. Every time he races people are suggesting he is done, must be demotivating being near the end of your prime years when you still have a lot to give and people are just saying you're past it.

Then so be it, I don't think he is good enough to medal in Paris anyway. Sometimes, it's important to know how to set aside your career like Hicham EL G did and just be recreational fun runner you know???
A lot of people like bashing. But i am pretty sure he'll do something impressive in London. Whether it will be enough for the Olympics remains to be seen. Truth is, just getting there at his age is an enormous achievement. The only reason anyone doesn't think that is because we are spoiled by his incredible performances throughout his career
Yes we must be spoiled DUH!!!! And spoiled by his almost orgasmic running mechanics!!!!!
And to see him running LIKE THIS since 2020 so out of alignment and hence grossly inefficient is just nauseating, why not?????
He is not your Sunday jogger on the street whom we don't know!!! He is the world's most gifted UNDOPED, CLEAN ANGEL OF AN ATHLETE EVER, just like Haile Geb and Hicham El G!!!! We ought to remember him for being THAT GIFTED and be very upset when he is that far away from that gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers to that, it seems like whenever he's about to be written off is when he comes back out with another incredible performance. Kudos to Kenenisa and his dedication to the sport

So true, one race does not define you, you have good and bad days, but his tenacity shows that he is not done yet.
