If you believe this, that's fine. I don't, but let's wait and see. Ayana may have the potential to do it, but I doubt she will. For Dibaba I don't think she has the potential, and I don't think she ever tries to achieve a Sub 29 minute for 10000m. She is running the 800m(!) in Doha.
In 3:50/~14:00 shape right now, I don't see Dibaba doing sub 29. But if she changes her training to add more endurance (and maintains her 3:50 ability), then sure she could go sub 29 someday, no?
