Haile reveals Bekele´s tactics

We have seen that Rupper can close a 13:22 5K in 52. That is the extent of his abilities, to close an extremely slow 5K at that pace. Thus not way in hell can he close a 52 last 400 off of the same pace IN A RACE THAT IS TWICE AS LONG!!! So he can close in 52 off of 13:30 pace. Awesome, but no chance he closes that fast off 27min pace and btw Lagat had a faster last 400m but mistimed his kick. Rupper will be 6-8th place which is decent, but he has no chance for a medal and it will be painfully obvious to you fanboys the last 600m

Tadese, Geb Geb, the Kenyans, and the other guys with lesser kicks will push the pace hard. If I were Galen, I'd hope for a slower race, actually.

True, given the climatic background of London, probably, none will wait long for moves and start early to run fast, last km won´t be under 2:30

HAHAHAHAHAHA no

The Ethiopians don't want a slow race. They know that they can do well in a very fast race.
