Just alittle fun before the race kicks off, can you pick the four Championships: jr women, jr men, women, and men's?
Just alittle fun before the race kicks off, can you pick the four Championships: jr women, jr men, women, and men's?
my picks:
jr. women: Veronica Wanjiru
should be close w/ Pauline K.
jr. men: Patrick Komon
w/ Ibrahim Iden (Eth) co-favorite
women: Tirunesh Dibaba
men: Kenenisa Bekele
After the race, is Bekele going to "retire" again?
It can be a running (pun intended) joke...
Every year after the Worlds, Bekele can "retire," then a couple of months before the race "unretire."
Then when he DOES retire, hoo-boy, will WE be surprised!!
... seems to be a lot of interest here...
okay i will try my luck.
mens race k. bekele
womens race meselech melkamu
mens junior feleke
womens junior genzabe dibaba because jordan hasay will not be running.
all 4 team championships to kenya
once again ethiopia has the top runners but kenya with the depth.
i meant to say 3 team titles to kenya, with the ethiopian women winning with the terrific trio of melkamu, tirunesh dibaba and geleta burka.
Men Kenenisa
Womens Tirunesh
Junior Men : Ibrahim Jaylen
Junior Women: Kenyan Sweep.. but look out for Utura Sule she is the national champ,, this is not be her year..but she is one to take a look at in the future.
i heard utera sule only started running about 6 months ago, i love it when these highly technically coached runners with the best doctors, nutritionist and staff, get blown away by a beginner.
