Bereket Zeleke, Ethiopian 18 year old, runs 27:40 10k

Jakob Kiplimo ran like 27:26 “at age 16.”

27:41 is not particularly a big deal for an Ethiopian teen. Dillu whose age might be off (listed at 17) ran 27:11. Granted he was a non-factor in Budapest.

EDIT: and the Kenyan 1-2 at World Junior XC are far more impressive with Reynold Cheruiyot running 3:30 and 13:04, while Kipkirui has an 8:11 2 mile

I doubt if bereket is 18yrs old. If you look keenly at him at the finishing line of Bathurst 8km junior race world cross country championships this year, you'll understand why I'm saying this....

No need for the quotes. People said Haile was old. People said Kipchoge was old. Both had 20+ year careers. So EK is like 45 right now..

Yes, drugs can prolong careers.

The quotes WILL remain. They will remain. Understand?

Another of the learned and esteemed LRC members well versed in the field of identiying age by simply looking at a human body

Well anyway I made an error. Jacob Kiplimo ran 27:26 at “age 15.” So although I have corrected myself, the quotes WILL remain. Understand?

The Top 3 at Newbury Park could do that, But they probably do not see that time as a Challenge so they did not run the 10k

NONE of them could break 28. Surely you’re joking.
