I doubt the race will go out that fast and if it does, it will be just the rabbits. KB has been requesting these crazy paces for the last 5 years and nothing has come of it. Until the next KB comes along, most 10Ks will be won in the 26:5xs and 27:4xs on special occasions.
Wanjiru was a 2:05 guy who got lucky that day. Gebrselassie would have cleaned his clock if he had run the marathon that day.

Yes
Someone who broke the world record twice taking it from 2:04:55 --> 2:03:59 isn't in the top 10.
Makes sense.
DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING KEN GOE WRITES. the guy is a tool for Nike.

Didn't he run 26:2x in 2010 or so?

Spoken like a tool.
Have you ever met Ken Goe?
He's a gentleman.
Less can be said for you.

This is gonna be one hell of a race no matter what the pace. Mo has been on fire the last 2 years, this cannot be argued. However, he'd never contend with a peak (or even close to peak) form Bekele. There is nothing wrong with saying that, Bekele is arguably the GOAT distance runner. That being said, Farah is very good himself and has shown he can beat Bekele when he's on and Bekele is not. I just hope the pace is hot like they are calling for so everyone can find out Farah's true potential in terms of PR's for 5k/10K and not his usual lame a** sit and kick for a 13:20/27:30 routine. He and Rupp's tactics, while they work occasionally, or boring as sh*t to watch and ruin any chance of fast times. I'd love to see them really go after 26:30 and not p*ssy out for a sit and kick
You start out saying something intelligence, and then you end like a gd idiot.

Guess he's been out of shape for longer than I realized. I hope this is finally the year

I agree Geb is top 10 but Wanjiru is well above him firmly planted at 1.

When did KB request a pace crazy fast in the past two years?

That is quite a feat to have broken 27 without having even been in the race...

Now we see why rupper isn't in this, didn't want to get crushed by the fast pace so per usual he ducks the competition. Good to see Farah is man enough to run it by I foresee the pace being too fast for him as well especially since he's clearly not in top form and hasn't looked good all year. Can't wait to see bekele back in action, I'd love to see him crush the field in 26:30
I knew you're just a low intelligence troll, but seeing as Rupp is running the 5k against what...4 guys who went sub 12:50 last year, and lagat,and several other low 12:50 guys.....hard to say he's ducking anyone. Bek hasn't been at the top of his game in a few years. Rupp beat him last year....he didn't know the pace would be 13:18 when he signed up. If anything he choose the more competitive race (Farah aside) using last years times.
Bekele was last himself in 2009. We saw a glimpse of it in the 2011 Brussels meeting but if Bekele were to get back into sub 26:30 shape Farah is in for a shaking. I have yet to see what Farah can do this year but I have a suspicion that he is farther behind than last year. He has had a lot of distractions and was not able to put together an indoor season. It seems like he is playing catch up this year. Galen and G Wet have already laid it down in 2013 and now it is time for Bekele and Farah to show that they still have it.

Farah won the 5k in 12:56 last year. In 2011, he won the 10k there in 24:46.
It's obviously just a scheme to mess with Solinsky.

Ok, that's funny. Well, no not really.
Look, in order to be funny there has to be at least a scintilla of intelligence in your post.
Try again. Maybe you could use a youtube clip or something to add the humor factor.

That is also quite a feat, to have shattered the 10,000m world record by 91 seconds. That Farah is no joke.
I don't know what's worse--intimating, even in a half-hearted way, that those who are posting here are Nazis, or using the possessive apostrophe twice where it doesn't belong. For some time I've thought some posters were ill-mannered in how they treated you (for you actually do know some things), but now I see it's simply a matter of tit for tat. As such, you do not do Oregon proud.
