Today was the perfect race for him to win, but instead he is hiding looking for soft world records. The pace was very similar to the pace he had in his chicago win and the slowest for years in London.
Also, I think he has more options on winning the olympics in a slow championship-style marathon where all is decided at the last miles than in the 10k again a stacked field including cheptegei, kiplimo, barega, kejelcha, kipruto...
