Will Paul Chelimo run the Olympic Marathon Trials?

I could see him running 2:10 or so. I could also see him pacing one of his bros or just getting his feet wet. I would also like to see this.

Paul Chelimo!

No, he won’t race. If he does he will bump people and cut them off ruthlessly and try to f*** with them the way he does on the track. It would be entertaining to see but not for the other pros.

Paul Chelimo!!

Chelimo will set a world record.

For looking backwards the most times in one race ever.

Huh??

Yes I think he will race and will make the team.

Would love to see Chelimo run the marathon trials.

Would be epic if he ran, and was in a sprint for the race win. Can he do his drift move on the roads, and get a DQ? Stay tuned!

Imagine a drinking game on a Saturday morning where you have to take a shot everytime the camera pans to Chelimo during the marathon and he touches his face.

I thought the same thing- likely pacing Kipchirchir.

I think the important question here is- how many times would he itch his nose in a marathon?

There's enough time to run and then run the track trials if he has to.

The trials always has a big pack at the front. Why would Kipchirchir need a personal pacer?

Not sure what are you missing here Cochise, it is self explanatory. Chelimo races dirty, always has. Thanks for your time.

There is still some time. Paul may have some goals he wants to see in training before he decides yay or nay. IE, if he does a time trial or a certain workout and can see his fitness won't be enough to make the team, it might be better not to have to recover from a marathon and just get in more training for track.

He should just go for it, hit the half in like 63 and try to hang on.
