This was the correct decision. I think Kibet is getting overlooked like he wasn't right there last year, too finishing 5th in the World. He may've had the most impressive last lap of everyone at Trials. Unfortunate for Ebenyo but he will be able to compete for the 5,000 team. The women's side is obvious and now it's interesting to see how many of them make the 5,000m team.
I feel bad for Ngetich. If you’re going to have a wild card spot and not just go with the top 3 from your trials, the woman who just shattered the 10km road record sort of deserves it.
Why on earth would you assume Grant Fischer (former Bowerman athlete, US guy) to be clean?
Why on Earth would you read someone’s name 100’s of times, and still manage to spell it wrong? You sound like a real authority on anything related to “Fischer”.

But spots 2-3 are healthy and beat her at World XC and have shown more consistency in their performances. N’getich can prove some fitness in the 5,000 tomorrow.

Because he would loose everything he has accomplished. The guy has a much bigger future outside of running.
Unlike African countries where their societies don’t give a rat if you lie, cheat or steal.
If you’re going to turn this into some kind of national sporting ethics comparison I don’t think the US (home of Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, Barry Bonds, Shelby Houlihan, etc) is going to come off very well.

Ebenyo won't be going to Paris as all his training was 10K/HM-focused. First major casualty of trials. Disappointing outcome.
Slow tactical race that favoured the kickers. It's first two locked in and Tim will llkely get the wild card. Abel Kipsang, Brian Komen and Vincent Keter all run out of it and won't be going to Paris. Munguti doesn't have standard so he's, as it were, on the clock.

How does a guy who has already run 3:29 and 1:45 this season lose to a 29 year old guy with pbs of 1:47 and 3:33.7, even in a 'tactical slow race'?
