Well, check this out: so are his competitors, and those guys are dropping 27:xx 10ks, 59:xx HMs and 2:04-2:05 marathons in the spring of the Olympic year, while he hasn't raced since January.
Yes, and those that are running 27:xx, 59:xx... didn't run their Olympic trials in January, so your point is a little weak. Perhaps, if he hadn't run a 2:09 in January he would be running faster now. He will be ready. The sad thing is if he gets less than gold, idiots on this board will crucify him. I wish him luck.
