What's interesting is Tefera - the world indoor 5000 champ - has been moved to the 5000. He's never run a 5000 but did run 737 for 3k indoors.

Yeah, you noticed that! The funny thing is that this kind of credit is usually given when one is a huge fan. For example:

'Basically', he does. In real life, he has none. But Rupp has that kind of fan club. Is anyone here such maniacal Tefera fan that they're willing to give him credit for events that haven't taken place?
