And I hate to remind everyone but the dude is younger the G. Fisher and the one just ahead of him in Tokyo. The good news for Fisher is Kejeclhas isn't in the 10,000.

Aregawi ran 26:33 on the roads earlier this year! On a solo effort.
Paris next year will be different though.

Rojo had a mistake and said Aregawi wasn't in the 10k at Worlds which was a brain fart as he watched Aregawi win the Ethiopian 10,000 Trials.
Let's get Kiplimo and Kejelcha, Aregawi and Cheptegei, Ingebrigtsen. Who else am I missing? Put the lights on 12:35 and put up $500,000 for 1st and a million for sub-12:30. Make it THE GREATEST 5000 Race in history.
What's crazy is many of those men won't medal at Worlds.

Why Aregawi is not in 10k?
I think he will be, he won the trials race last week in 26:50 over Barega
Aregawi is absolutely fearless. I hope, for his sake, that he hasn’t shot his load with these recent great performances.
I’m a fan of relatively frequent racing and I think Jerry might sometimes do the BTC athletes a disservice by limiting early season competition so much, but I do wonder if people like Aregawi who just pushes hard the whole way in long distance races might be cooked by the WC. I hope he’s there and ready to duke it out with Jakob, Kejelcha, Kiplimo, and Cheptegei.

Girma too!
Crazy that we don’t name one Kenyan in the top… 10? in the 5000.

Katir, Bekele and Gebrhiwet are definitely worthy of inclusion in that too. It really would be a hell of a race

He needs to race the championships like that. Last year he ran scared. This year, both he and Kiplimo are better-served running the last half of the race HARD. Unless they want Jakob, Kejelcha and Cheptegei to outkick them.
That was an insane 5000m! Aregawi definitely gave it a great effort as did Cheptegei and practically every other runner in the race. Unreal how fast these men (and women) are running nowadays.
Ethiopian Berihu Aregawi set his personal best, a meeting record, AND the best world performance of the year during the men’s 5000m at the Diamond League in ...

Girma and Katir could probably follow this pack until the last 100 or 200. That would be the most epic distance race ever.
