Message to the Rupp fans. 12:50 won't be fast enough.

Would love to see the km splits. 5:09 at 2k, so 7:37 last 3k, not bad
Gebrehiwott second with world junior record 12:47.53
Isaiah Koech third in 12:48.64
Looks like 10th fastest 5000 ALL TIME.

It will be fast enough, but note that it will come on the heels of a 12:00 4600.

What was Bekele's time? He said he thought he could run 12:50 and he was only a few seconds off even though he was no where near the front.

One of them was turkish. Maybe borns or trains in Morocco or were you mistaken?
If you take EPO, you should be banned for life. Proven intentional doping should be a lifetime ban.
just assumed the turkish one was moroccan because they looked similar and i knew selousi was morrocan. i couldn't read the name on the bib on the feed i was watching.
