ISIAH KOECH does it AGAIN: how many youth & world junior records will he destroy

I predict he will break the 5000m world record.

Anyone got video of this 3000m win? The 5000m run was just mindboggling as he is only 17. His innocence is all over his young face as he apparently don't know how good his performances are

I predict that he will be 18 4 years ago.

This thread should have been called...

ISIAH KOECH: how soon will he totally annihilate the dstance WR's

Regardless of how old people claim he is, he is sure to go on to break senior records unless he has some major setback with illness or injury.

That maybe true; however, if he doesn't get injuried this year he will be very successful on the circuit. If he stays healthy he could medal at both the 2011 Worlds and 2012 Olympics and if that happens I don't think he will continue running with the same passion, dedication, and improvements. Again I hope I'm wrong.

For now every youth and world junior record from 2000m to 5000m is in jeopardy. Kinda hard to say Isiah Koech could break S. Wanjiru's 10000m WJR 26:41.75 and 1/2 marathon WJR 59:16 is scary. The kid has two more years as a junior so anything is possible.

idiot

again clueless

he looks a 1500m runner with that build, so use your peabrain & expand that category to

1500 - 5k

Honestly, Ventolin, can you post without calling someone an idiot or moron? Just once?

Wow...7:37 3000m=about 8:10 2 mile..Kids a beast...Could probably beat Lagat and also has one helluva kick. He's the real deal here. Question is when will he break the Senior WRS?

Video of race please??

You called him an idiot because he forgot about 500 meters. Loser.

P.S. your calculator BS sucks

STOP

Making fun of me.

Do you think he had a sub 3:30 in him? 12:53 and 7:37 indoors points me more towards 3:31-32, unless he was sandbagging the 7:37 a little bit.

No need for name calling. I didn't include the 1500m because regards of his build, Isiah races 3000m and 5000m so regardless of what he looks like to you apparently he considers himself 3000m/5000m.

Did he race the 1500m at the World Youth champioships? NO he ran the 3000m!

Has Isiah Koech *EVER* raced a 1500? No!

4th at World Jr X Championships 8km

So what would make you assume he's a 1500m runner since he never raced the distance and excels at 3000m and 5000m (beside you being overwhelmed with his build?) He's not a 1500m runner and any youth and junior would have a hard beating

1500m Youth Best.....3:33.72 Nicholas Kemboi

1500m World Jr Best..3:30.24 Cornelius Chirchir

Just stop. This guy is not 17. Look at the video, please. Jesus.

my feckless friend

that 500m you are talking about is the difference between obscurity &

legend

Ventolin3 is a clueless moron

Isiah Kiplangat Koech is a 3000m/5000m who would rather move up to the 10000m instead of trying to specialize in the 1500m. So stop fantasizing about his build and just enjoy his performances at 3000m and 5000m you creep!

moron

how many serious 1500s did geb run before

3'31.76i] ???

what did komen a 7'20/12'39 guy run for 1500 ???

A World Championship year is already exciting but add Alamirew Yenew, Chris Solinsky, and Isiah Koech along with veterans Eliud Kipchoge, Bernard Lagat, Tariku Bekle etc and the 5000m could become the marquee event of the Championships.

I wish he would destroy you, or at least your computer and internet access.

he's young & for some stoopid reason his manager lined him up for a 3k ( 50% take is likely reason ), 2/7 after a 12'53!

he musta been on fumes running, so, 7'37i is absolute worst case scenario for him

he's got 12'53i which i get as ~ 12'49 outdoors

call it about 12'47 in a perfect race with even pacing to 3k, wabbit drops out & he runs last 2k alone as is requisite in this era

he's a big strong mutha & reminds me of chebii with his speed/build & he's gotta have/will have, some serious 400

trying :

12'47 with

52.0 ->3'33.4 , 7'26.0

51.0 ->3'31.6 , 7'24.5

50.0 ->3'29.8 , 7'23.0

50s speed is the benchmark

i don't believe any guy of recent lore amongs the east africans apart from chebbi had it ( i'd bet my house geb/kennster/komen/cherono/etc didn't )

this kid may fufil chebbi's "prophecy" :

49.75 ->3'29.4 , 7'22.6

49.50 ->3'28.9 , 7'22.3

i do see a serious sub-3'30 potential in this kid if he doesn't get buttf***ed by his manager by being raced to a pulp this year
