maybe he is coming to america early prior to worlds? if so, it would make sense to run in at least one race here which will undoubtedly be against weaker competition given the number of 5k medal elites that actually train here. think chelimo is still in africa? fisher wont do anything that isnt a BTC approved event, but now that ahmed is on his own maybe he would actually be interested? and then teare seems to avoid meets even more so than the BTC guys so that isnt happening. kind of dumb imo, but i guess if they all show up at worlds and race well then you cant criticize too much.
