Best performance this year! His 7.28 over 3000m in Doha was better though.

Rupp would have "out kicked" him by a solid 10 seconds.
rupp will tell you himself, he probably would not have beaten kipchoge today in 3-5 years maybe, but not now.
Rjupp will never come close! Kipchoge is one of the best runner EVER!
7:27 3000m and 12:46 5000m. world champion and medalist in many world championships...
You people are funny... Kipchoge is the kenyan version of Sihine! A very great athlete in the shadow of guys like Geb and Bekele!
peds are more readily available this summer. there was a big crack down on ped labs during the 6 month period prior to beijing.

"probably" ? And in 5 years kipchoge will likely be retired, so yeah, I hope he can beat him when the guy is not training.
Kipchoge is a strange athlete.He once turned up in Madrid 10K on New years eve and ran a sub 27 mins beating Motram and Tedesse( it was either 2007 0r 2008).Yet he can also turn up for a race and dissappoint beyond believe( remember the 3000 at pre on june 1st?).Kipchoge is a nightmare for the bookies.
Actually, I'd say he is one of the most consistent Kenyans the last 6 years - the guy has placed in the top 4 in every championship 5000m (wc/oly) he has contested since 2003 and got a medal in every one except for 2005 (4th). Looking at his overall race history - he is very rarely out of the top 3. Every now and then he will pull a 5th or 6th but that happens maybe once or twice in a season. Hard to top that level of consistency.

"peds"? Are you referring to pedophiles like yourself?
