That's what it sounds like from this article as it says that based on this week's announcements Athletics Kenya is concerned to learn that the date for World xc has been moved up to January starting in 2026.
Sounds like they are preparing to make excuses for why their men’s team is going to get beaten by Team USA. They know next year will be the first year in a long time that Team USA brings its A team to world XC, and they know they can’t hang with the best Americans.

so what as that means the weather will be cooler in Kenya as Kenya is hot in the spring and summer as January is th e winter. I don't understand waht the problem is. Is this because of Crhistmas so soon before as Christians will have time to celebrate the birth of the lord in addition tto training for the race

Where was it even implied that they were not fully aware of the time change long ago? I read the article and it seems like they are concerned about the short turnaround (they have probably been concerned about the short turnaround they whole time, no implication this was a new concern) and reminding coaches/athletes to be cognizant and to be sure to prepare for the World Championship with that in mind.
Seems like passive racism to assume Athletics Kenya is just dumb vs they are proactively reminding people to plan accordingly and perhaps alter their normal yearly training cycle cadence.
This shows how low world athletics thinks of world cross country! America probably pushed for the change of dates since they are poor organizers! Should have moved elsewhere

Shouldn't the headline read "Is USATF so poorly run they boasted about the World Road Racing Championships in San Diego but had to cancel them, now pushing them two months closer to World Cross Country"?
Where was it even implied that they were not fully aware of the time change long ago?
When the featured Kenyan quote in the article emphasizes, "...and from what the World Athletics President announced yesterday, it means that athletes have no time to rest."
Rojo, you're way too obsessed with the disorganization of Athletics Kenya and Ethiopian Athletics. Like, we get it, they're disorganized. You don't need to bring it up every podcast and start pointless threads about it. Let it go.

Rather than it requiring passive racism, I think one can simply look at the mountain of evidence accumulated over the years to infer that Athletics Kenya is indeed that dumb.

Or rather, since it likely isn’t a matter of intelligence, they are lazy and corrupt.

You're cute.
Kenya's junior teams would be able to "hang with" the best Americans.
Kenya's senior teams will torch the Americans, just like the torched one of your best ever NCAA runners (Ritzenhein) into 62nd place when he ran the race. (3m40s behind the winner -- 1 Bekele 35:06, 2 Tadesse 35:20, 5 Kipchoge 35:37, Shaheen 35:53 fyi.)

News flash: this isn't 2005 anymore. The US men's distance team is now right there with the Kenyans and Ethiopians.
