From Mottram article: "Mottram hopes to get a pointer towards what shape Bekele is in when his training partner and countryman Sileshi Sihine runs the 5,000m at the Golden League meet in Rome on Friday night."Sihine (the silver medallist in the 5,000m and 10,000m at the 2005 world titles) is a guy that we've been waiting to see what sort of shape he's in before the world championships," said Mottram."If he comes out and runs really well then I'd be pretty sure that Bekele will be in good shape too. "Apart from that there's been no other indication so we really don't know."

I DON'T KNOW BUT IF MOTTRAM HAS BEEN PAYING ATTENTION SIHINE RAN A 26:48 10KM WITH A 52-54(?) SECOND CLOSER IN Hengelo in MAY...I WOULD THINK MOTTRAM WOULD KNOW THAT SIHINE IS IN VERY TOP SHAPE in the 10km let alone the 5k.

your thread title is misleading. it makes it seem as though mottram is talkin' shit. that is not so. he just doesn't know.

He was much slower than that for the last lap.

Sihine closed in 55 I believe.

They had left Geb behind in 26:52.

Sihine is assuredly near his top.

Mottram will need to run his ass off to be up there.

I thought that was a weird comment by monty.

I have no idea what seleshi's fitness has to do with kennsters.

At any rate, Seleshi's last lap was 56 seconds. He looked a little spent after a 61 followed by a 61 but beating Kipchoge is no indication of how he does against mottram.

Seleshi is tough as nails! he will always be in it for the medals if he is healthy.

Even after the 10k in hengelo.. he looked a little spent.

He has bad form and niggling injuries and burns himself out training.

"Apart from that, there's been no other indication (Bekele's fitness), so we really don't know."
