all this crazy talk about abdi, rupp, and ritz...let face the facts today, do these guys have any shot at the world championships? They are against 4 ethiopians that have run easily under 27, 3 Kenyans in the low 27 range, Kiprop, Zersenay, Hassan, and that just the beginning. I have a big feeling that world championships may turn out like those of Paris in 2005 and be very fast.
