In either the WC or in his hometown Olympic Games? He just destroyed, with authority, a field of the best runners in the world. Among the only ones missing is Bekele, and you can't guarantee he'll be in good shape at all. This will also be good for Rupp, who's training with him and probably believes he is just as good. I am excited for Mo.
Slim to none, maybe on the podium, if he has a great race.
I expect it will involve a thorough meditation upon the I Ching.
He hasn't peaked yet. 2012 will be his year.
He showed he can win off a moderate pace, but I'm not so sure how he'll fare in a championship-style race. He definitely has a good shot at the podium, though.
He beat Merga in a sub-27:00 race. He could surely medal. The Olympic field will have fewer Kenyans and Ethiopians than that one had.
Kenyans and Ethiopians look at this with a team vision and will change the content of the race vs what we saw last night.
Remember you will have the best guys that are on at the moment.
Mo will need some coaching help on this one , he has a shot at a medal if he does not get caught up in the crazy racing that will happen up front.
I'd say about 6%. Depends whether the home town crowd helps or hurts in London.
