No. Absolutely not. Though he has run the event 5 times, and only for the past 3-4 months, and recently dropped from 8:16 to 8:06, it will be impossible for him to drop those remaining 6-7 seconds during the remainder of his career.
I could see 8:00:01, or possibly even 8:00:00 if everything goes perfectly. But sub-8:00? Impossible.
Thank you for the ideal response to such an absurd post...OP go back under your rock

I just love that... going from 8.06 to 8.00.00 is OKAY.... but 8.00.00 to 7.59.99... no.. just impossible.

I'd bet no. Most often when a distance AR is broken, no matter the runner's age, it's career-defining & he doesn't rebreak his own record later.

That, like most things you say, would be easy to disprove.

Then disprove it. Most often, an AR is not rebroken by the same runner. Disprove it.
I'm calling you a liar.
AR's are broken by the same individual frequently.

Stupid question. A better one would be, can he medal?
Any American runs a decent race, the BroJos immediately brand them a medal contender so they can crow all over the fvcking boards that THEY called it first.
Lomong wins a race in the states.....MEDAL CONTENDER...and if you don't think so, you don't understand the sport??? Then they write a piece about how Lagat and Rupp have a chance to medal in the 5,000m and never mention Lomong....genius journalism.

MAYBE, just maybe, they changed their minds.
LOL, ttc AWOL.

He can go sub 8 without much trouble in the next few years. By Rio he should really be looking at being in 7:55 shape and winning a gold medal.
except some Kenyan will be running 7:51 by then.
I think this one is settled.

No not yet.
He can yes.
But if he ever will we have yet to see.
