SHUT UP, TIM HUTCHINGS! ? It doesn't matter if he's 18 or 48. It's 12MF43! Let that marinate.
Marinate in EPO for a significant period of time.
You seem happy Ethiopia are still off the hook on the doping front and Kenya have to 'suffer' being tested like the rest of the world?
It seems your major excitement over this is that you've been worried white guys might start winning stuff.

Same story as all these other E. African phenoms. Overaged (probs 26 or so), been on the dope for years. Italian coach/agent. Don't believe any of this.
Age is largely irrelevant when the time in question is 12:43.
Yeah let's ignore the fraudulent drug-fueled junior champs and records by East Africans. It doesn't matter!!!

Eat your heart out. Ethiopia finally have Geb and KB's heir and they'll be sweeping championships for the next decade. So much for times slowing down.
Heirs plural.

Think this is the final nail in your 'I'm a Kenyan' coffin.
No Kenyan would be wanking over Ethiopia humiliating them in a distance race.

5000m times have slowed have they?

I wonder how much respect Farah gets now? Dispatched those top three time and time again.
The same Farah that was left on the track crying by the fourth place finisher in this race? The one whose career fastest time was dispatched time and time again today?

lol your Kenyan heroes started dropping like flies this year, and now you root for EPOpians? Adorable. Who you gonna move to once they start getting busted? You can bett it will happen.
Anyone think the DL Champion meet is better than the WC or Olympics? No limit in number of athletes per country means that some events - distance, women's 110h, etc. are deeper. Pacers for distance events result in faster times. Athletes are rewarded for performances all season to qualify rather than just finishing top 3 in nationals - assuring all the top athletes are there.

I actually think Kejelcha might be clean. So I'll give him the clean win in 12:46 - potentially a clean WR if the case.

He beat all of those guys his entire career. Gebriwhet ran 12:47 or something in 2012 and now 12:45 and Farah beat him without pause between those dates.

Farah ran a 3:28 1500m, we all know he coulkd have gone 12:4x.xx

Outside of the 8:4x, the women's steeple was faster today.
Yeah if you ignore the fast times at Monaco, the times at Monaco were slower. Great logic!
Sassy on a Friday, eh?
Top 5 from today's meet would beat the top 5 in Monaco if you scored it like an XC race.

Low standard womens 200m there.

These haters will never give Farah the respect he deserves - whether he was/is on the sauce or not. He would've dispatched these clowns the same as he always has today....

Now engage brain.
Reverse the running order for that entire race where kjelcha lead the entire way and the other two sat in his huge slip stream (he's tall) and then Kjelcha would run 12:43.
Barega and Gebriwhet did nothing! They were running in a vacuum. Hugely impressive from Kjelcha.
On my small screen it looked like Schippers totally cut into the inner lane. Did anyone else see that? She will be DQed for sure.
Would have been a good race for her doubling back from Zurich. I wonder if she flew or drove?
DQ coming for Prandini.
Gebrhiwet (12:45) finally runs faster than that 12:47 from 2012. Haven't seen form like this from him all year ... previous DL results: DNS in Shanghai, 6th in Rabat (3K), 5th in London. He was also 4th at World Indoors.
Today makes me wonder even more what the heck happened to Barega at the U20 Championships? Only 4th in a 13:20 race and not a very close 4th either (on 14 July and that was also his last race before today, I think?).
He had a 2:25 last K in that race (top 3 had 2:24) and today he had a 2:27 close in a waaay faster race.
Also ... Barega (dob Jan 2000) runs 12:43 at 18 and Gebrhiwet (dob May 1994) ran 12:47 also at 18! Not sure which of the two was/is the older looking "18 year old"
