So much for that dumb lifetime miles theory people love to spout about.

The winner was Kenya's Roger Kwemoi. I think he's one for the future and since most here claim all Kenyans are age cheats, have a good look at and decide whether he's 18 or not.
Gimme a break. No 15 year old can run 27:26 10k. Get real.
He should identity as female, he'd go far and makes lots of money.
He looks a lot younger than Kiprotich.
Put him in a crop top and call him "Lucy" and he will have a fistful of golds at Rio. Do it now before CAS changes their minds.

He looks younger than the "15" year old.
Finally someone to dethrone MO!!!!! Maybe. In 4 years.

What does that theory have to do with this?

He'll be perhaps getting past his peak at that point though. (this guy though, not Mo.)
Daniels is off of course. 27:26+ ~ 3:33.9 1500
The 3:50 doesn't mean as much as the 7:52 and 13:19
This Ugandan kid is about a 3:42 1500 runner.
Not even worth reporting the age
If he is 15 and the rules have not changed from last cycle he will not be eligible for Rio. Not too many age limits but you have to be 16 for 10k.
Marathon and Decathalon are the two other events I remember being age limited.
Just because you guys cannot tell Africans apart does not make him an age cheat.
He has a baby face and is clearly young. People who are saying he looks in his 20s are either being willfully blind or are unable to distinguish African features.

Obviously too complex for your little brain, kddk.
It's possible, Dave Bedford ran only about 7:45 and maybe 4:00/mile and ran 27:30.

Isn't 13:19 under the Olympic standard? So he could do the 5k....

Honestly not sure. I've been following procedures and policy much less this cycle.
Isn't it that you turn 16 by the end of the year? So you can be 15 at the games as long as you turn 16 by December 31.

Let these people think want they want. The minute I saw this kid and The gold medalist on the start line, I instantly thought they looked 16 and wouldn't be able to keep up. Hope he goes on to great things. My only fear is that so few of these precocious runners fulfill their potential as seniors. Asbel Kiprop is one of very few.
