Your post didn't 'prove' anything, and I am not lying I simply disagree with your wild opinions, do you understand the concept of fact?You claimed that many of Farah's competition 'show up in as slow as 13:20 shape'. I am not sure how you have decided this, 13:20 guys would come dead last. During the heats many guys ran much faster than 13:20 whilst in a naturally very tactical heat, which suggests they were in much better shape than the time they ran. Claiming that Africans can't maintain form is also a bizarre thing to say. And you simply haven't addressed the fact that shortly after the World Champs this year in Brussels Kejelcha and Gebriwet ran 12:53 and 12:54. The top 7 in that final ran under 13:10 in the Brussels DL, including Americans True and Hill who ran 13:05. 13:20 is slow, no 13:20 runners are going to be in contention for medal positions. Also I talked about the low 27 minute 10k to further rubbish your claims of the athletes only being capable of around 13:20. I never have once compared Farah's competition to Geb and Bekele's competition, of course the latter were stronger. But the former are not 13:20 runners.I take it you have no idea how important and dominant in the calendar the Olympics and Worlds are for these athletes. Winning means a LOT of cash and respect back at home. They try their best to peak for the big competitions.I really feel it is pointless arguing with you because anyone this obtuse cannot take part in comprehensive discussion. You are so blinded by your hate for Farah that you think all his competition go from running low 13s/sub 13s and sometimes even sub 12:50s to being in 13:10-20 shape (despite they run in the 13:1x's during the tactical heats of the completion), and then somehow regain form a few weeks after they have lost to Farah and again run in the 12:50s and low 13s!And for the record, the competition doesn't even show up in as slow as 13:10 shape, only the minor places are filled with the 13:05+ guys.

Your lack of reading comprehension and math is startling. You think running against 27:05 guys is comparable to running against 26:2x and 26:3x guys? That's just basic math. It's not debatable.
Also, I didn't say he races only slow runners. Why are you lying?
Those 6 guys breaking 12:50 is irrelevant. None of the Africans can maintain their fitness. I already said this. Why can you not understand? I also never did they just stopped training. Why are you lying again? What I actually said was these guys are highly variable. In as little as 2-3 weeks they can lose or gain 20 seconds in their 5000 ability.
So yes 13:20 shape. I clearly watch athletics because 13:20 is what some of these guys ran. I also didn't say 13:20. I said as slow as 13:20. Why are you lying?
You are wrong multiple times. Farah is a great runner, but he has nowhere near the competition that Geb, El G, and Bekele did.
