Kejelcha is probably the #1 or #2 runner in the world due to his range. I love the way he runs.
Unfortunately, I think gebrehiwet is the only one who may break the wr. His body weight is really low. Very close to how haile used to run. Short, effortless. I do not like this style of running, but these ppl all come from the same tribe in Ethiopia.
Yomif is a rare breed and totally different than the others. He's more a neguse style.

Here’s what’s gonna happen. They’ll most likely break it. Then everyone will say one of these 3 folks will finally take down Jakob at Worlds. Then at worlds, he’ll absolutely break them (this isn’t new).
The problem with having 3 guys all going for the record is that none of them will want to be the one pushing the pace once the pacer steps off. Kejelcha seems like the most likely to take the front but if they could work as a team they might all be capable.
Tragic Jakob won't be here. Would have been in the 12:20s without a doubt if he was.
I don't think so, it is hard to break WR's, let alone by 5-10secs.
I think Jakob could do low 12:30s realistically if all guns are firing.
As for the Africans, they could shave off half a second, but remember Aregawi's fast 3000m time is off the back of Jakob's front running effort. Aregawi has the best chance due to his ability to close the last lap faster than the others.
