How Old Do You Think Mohammed Aman Really Is? Ask Your Wife...

He's 17 in Greg Oden/Lebron years.

This. Both Oden and Lebron looked like they were already in their mid 30s when they were coming out of high school.

My Girl Friend: Thirty something? Older?

Me: Good guess but he is listed as 17.

GF: What! He looks old.

------

Another female: Is this a trick question? Um, 30's?

Me: Would you be surprised if I said 17?

Her: Seriously? That guy looks way older than that!

Her again: I think it's harder to tell with guys.

Wife: Old enough to beat Rudisha

Good enough for me

Wife: Who cares about running, lets go to Crossfit and then come home and have hours of wild sex with our killer bodies.

Me: Okay.

I think it's fair to say that running geeks don't marry or hook up with other running geeks.

I think it's funny how none of the females mentioned seem to have a clue as to what age a typical elite runer might be.

The real answer is that he's not a boy, he's Aman.

LOL!

Hilarious thread. I enjoy these things, Wejo.

Dude, you post a pic of a guy at the end of a tough race. Faces contort in all sorts of weird ways. You cant tell the age from a photo in such circumstances. What you need is a photo under normal conditions - like a press conference or something..

Man, it must suck to be a Yankee.

It doesn't matter, he faces doesn't swear the same wear that Rusdisha or Yego or Kaki or Bekele or Lagat or Tadese or Kiplagat. He looks young, he may have a older face but I can show you at least 20 pictures of 17-20 year olds that look 30-50.

We accept.

Here he is from last year. He is also known as Mohammed Geleto and Mohammed Aman Geleto. In this race he is allegedly 16 years and 7 months.

I guess it is possible. But there certainly is an older quality to him, even in his countenance/movements.

Why are Americans so obsessed with age? Crap about Africans lying about about ages (unfair, but deal with it), HS'ers who are a year older than they are "supposed" to be (i.e. a Junior at 18yo), A College guy who is 22 as a sophomore, etc. It really comes across as petty, whiny and childish! Is this the level of maturity in the US as a whole?

What's the best thing about twenty eight year olds?

There's twenty of them.

Wejo's wife looks at one picture and proclaims it so.

That muts be what passes for the scientific method at Cornell these days. Or maybe at the KK meetings, I am not sure which

What does Khalid Khannouchi have to do with any of this?

And yes, Uncle B, we are clearly trying to determine his real age via informal internet forum poll. Clearly.

Wife: Early 40s

Me: Mid 20s

Give me a holler when one of you guys decides to question a white athlete's age or drug use -- now that would be news.

Yes, because letsrun is an excellent example of what the United States looks and acts like as a whole. Nice extrapolation.

GF: 43, and that was her trying not to insult

I wonder why the thread on how my wife does not give a **** about how old Mohamed Anan is got pulled. I wonder if the new one will stay up. I guess someone found the idea that some women are not obsessed with the ages of Africans they do not know to be objectionable.
