Really hope he concentrates on the world U20s and goes for gold. With Kerr Beamish Whiteman Gourley Myers etc etc in the commonwealth games - not so sure - hmmm.

Beamish will be running the Steeple presumably. The 1500 could be stacked though:
-Kenya: Reynold, Tim (Komen/Lagat/Kipsang on standby)
-Scotland: Kerr, Wightman
-Australia: Myers
U20s I think he might be able to win fairly easily. Myers lost but that was before the crackdown on Ethiopian juniors. With the US hosting I’d be dubious about that happening so a likely properly-aged Kenyan or European beating Ruthe? Doubtful. Kenya did have strong performances at World XC but it seemed like mostly 3-5,000m guys who swept it.

OK. Thought I had heard that Beamish was keen to run the Mile (it's a mile because it's the anniversary of "mile of the century edition 1" Bannister V Landy. ) and he's all about racing not Time trialing .
those that talk the most are those that aren't sure of themselves.
Did you ever hear in the last 3 months what are doing the 3 runners that medaled at Tokyo 2025? Never. They keep it secret because they are a lot of haters like the big mouths of this site.
I didn't say Ruthe must be better than Jakob by 8 seconds when he matures. I am pointing out how insane that would be. But you talk as if Jakob was somehow a late developer compared to Ruthe. Jakob was a prodigy from the age of 12, who trained like an adult. Ruthe now shows he would simply destroy him as the teenage phenomenon he was. That is truly insane.
What is truly insane is the number of hours you spend on letsrun, saying the same things over and over again. That is truly insane.
He's a boomer trying to cope with the fact the world has moved on from the times of his childhood heroes, who he still has posters on his wall.
Instead of going to therapy he is just spiralling into repititious baseless accusations, slander & derangement on the Letsrun message board.
