That's what we've been wondering all weekend so we had Jonathan Gault try to get the bottom of it.

I don't know, but let's hope they stick to it! Jakob for the gold, followed by Centro and Hobbs.
If he's battling an injury now, he probably can't train properly for Tokyo.
He did look horrible in the trials and cant blame the altitude as he lives in Nairobi
race baiting, pathetic post from Steve again.
My take: the hamstring injury, that he has battled before and Canova said came back before the kenyan trials, is still bothering Cheruiyot. Both Cheruiyot and coach Ouma are now trying to downplay it to give him a chance at being selected. He showed great fitness opening with 3:30 in hot conditions in Doha, and without some kind of a problem we would never have seen him race like he did at the Kenyan trials. He literally never loses, and even though kenyan competition is stiff, Cheruiyot has been by far the best miler in the world. Sadly, he seems to be injured, but Ouma hopes to get rid of it in time for Tokyo so they’re trying to play it off. Plausible?

Seriously? Again?
How can you be so dumb and not understand that an athlete of Tim's caliber doesn't want to go to the Olympics unless he has a chance to do well?
He is injured. It will take time for the injury to heal. Then it takes time for him to get back into shape. Time he doesn't have.
Is it that hard to understand that you have to create a new thread?
1/10 because I clicked and replied, making you $0.02 richer.

Your parents obviously didn't make a good decision.

I didn't mention race. If anything, you're the racist for being obsessed with peoples race. Everyone is the same and equal to me.

I've contributed more to the world than you. Advice to you: don't make jokes about peoples parents because they might be dead. Grow up.
The answer, if Timothy Cheruiyot is more or less healthy, has got to be corruption. They are either connected to money associated with the other guy or want a bribe.

You are right. I apologize.
Your comment was still stupid.
Okay thanks for taking responsibility. You are entitled to your opinion.

2nd world country. That better? Lol. Shamrocks.
AK is notoriously corrupt. Golazo paid off the right people to get their athlete named to the team. Cheruiyot and his people did not.
He probably got popped for a drug test and they know what the results are going to be so why send him. Did he not finish fourth at their trials?
Jakob is doing cartwheels. It’d be a huge choke job if Jakob doesn’t win.
This begs the question— what if he had come in third?
TC didn’t look race fit; possibly hasn’t trained in weeks; injuries or some kind of ‘issues’ that has kept him from staying race fit. This was the look of a race on pure strength work ..little to zero specific training.
Yes I mean that was not the TC we’re used to seeing. If he can’t train properly take the 3 that beat him fair and square.
I don't think Timothy Cheruiyot was a Kenyan prodigy, but it's "emptiness" got him raised high.
The one that talked about Hobbs, you can always dream. People are running for years, they fall and stand in the road.
Even for Jacob the future is not obvious.
