The only way Asbel can do it is if someone invented a firecracker that will burn for 3 minutes 25 seconds and tie it to his bum. The starting gun should shoot at the fire cracker.
Otherwise, he might sleep after one lap as usual and wake up too late.

Kiprop has no chance at breaking 3:26. No chance.
Correct. Let's be real here, not happening.
I would be shocked if he broke 3:29 again. That is moving.
Kiprop will run under 3:29 again, If I was a bettin' man I'd put money on it.
Kiprop is a unique runner. I'm impressed particularly by his 800m PR of 1:43.15.
What do you think of the 7:42.32 3000m he ran in 2007?

those were poorly run with him the proverbial mile behind at the bell ( started them more like a 1500 !!! )
he shouda been high-1'42 in at least 1 of those if he'd run it as a "proper" 800 with a faster start
i think he was at worst that last year but didn't really run a serious 800 ( just a leg-stretching 1'45.9 in sydney in february )
he's now gone 3'31-flat in doha with a finish of
12.4 !!!
that's the fastest finish ever in a fast 1500
i think he's in more like mid-1'42 shape currently

his x-country earlier in year indicates also best endurance of his life
not since 2004 has any runner ran faster than his 3:28.88 that he ran last year. he won't run sub 3:26 anytime soon but he may PR.
ya it's evolution
better diet and training
that's why were back to 3-30s
bring back coe and cram i say

So is he the man to run sub 3:26?

Very interesting. I think Kiprop would be a great WR holder and it was very unlucky that he was injured in the 2012 OG Final and couldn't whip Makhloufi's butt. So funny to see one of the Kenyans comment on Facebook to him how Makh is so obviously doped! A shame he also lost his moment of fame behind Ramzi in the 08 games (and I notice a Ramzi time on the list). To have it happen twice, once when injured and unable to counter attack at all, must be galling.
Looking at it, you could say Kiprop is a Bolt-like talent in the 1500m - with his height and long stride, surely he takes less steps in a race than the others? Kiplagat is only 1 sec down from 2010 (at the same meet?). He looks so smooth, and I can really believe he is the clean WR holder. He has the fastest time in 8 years since Athens 04 Games. Wasn't that around when an EPO test came out? ;)
This aged well.
Nope, Jakob is.
