How is his Norway?
LRC note: This thread was deletd by a volunteer mod in 2023 but now given the fact that Katir has been suspended we have re-instated it.

Katir is NOT doped. He is powered entirely by his grimace.
Even in the first couple laps, before he's making much effort, he is already grimacing every other step. That's the trick - don't wait until you have to grit your teeth, do it right from the start. It makes sense, if gritting your teeth makes you go faster, to do it all the time.
Kipchoge does it too. True grit!
BUMP.

That's true.

Compare with his 3:28 at Monaco or his 7:27 where he looked like he was barely trying.
The most obvious doper of all time, even more than Ramzi or Ma's army or Kratchilatchikova.
Those who defended his sudden rise last year are looking pretty foolish now.
Why? Has he tested positive yet?
Katir has not
shelbo800 has LOL
Foolish? Like you thinking you are clever with all your different handles? LOL
He just came in second in Diamond League a few weeks ago. What are you on
Listen simpleton.
You have all this grudge all this time?
At least you have the confirmation that he maybe did dope at Birmingham (England) and not in Rabat (Morocco).
Following your reasoning.
Second in a weak DL field. He's clearly going backwards. How do you come out of nowhere at age 23, run remarkable times across the board, gradually fade off during the season, and then the next are at an even lower level than you finished the previous season?
He beat Hoare, Mechaal and Kerr so no it was not a weak field
"He is clearly going backwards", like your prediction about Emmanuel Korir, last year.

Mechaal is 32, Kerr is clearly not in form, and last year he was beating Jakob in Monaco and looking like he would be smashing every WR from 1500 to 5000 this season.
I noticed Katir didn't get much of a reception from the Moroccan spectators.

Maybe because he is Spanish?

A 32-year-old who ran a great 3,000 PB indoors. Obviously, Katir was better last year but Jakob also was coming off a week without training into that Monaco race and not at his best. So you’ll make an excuse for Kerr but not Jakob last year. What do you have to say about Hoare? I mean come on, the seasons not even close to half over and he peaked too early last year. Maybe he’s trying to time it better this year. Let’s see at Oslo and Spanish Champs.
Jakob was in 3:27 shape according to Gjert, but then had a bad cold I think, so missed a week's training. He still ran low 3:29. Kerr looked nowhere near his best form in Birmingham.
A lot of top elites have only one good year. They push their bodies to an unnatural, precarious physiological condition and the truth is, the body fights back. It cares more about being healthy than running PB's, so it counter-adapts in that direction, no matter how diligently you train.
Dope or not, Katir was the grittiest runner in recent years. Teeth clenched like a pit bull
