Expect to see Kenny and Tariku under 13, but particularly watch for Gebremeskel and Gebrhiwet. Is it finally time for Alamirew to show that he can do something at 5000m? Also, Isaiah Koech is in 12:55 shape for sure. Nobody has run faster than 12:53 since 2010. You should see something faster in Paris.
also sports agent mikael boating says his client vincent chepkok is looking to go under 12:50 after he got 4th at 5000 at the kenyan trials.

probably nearer 12'45
( he has a 12'53i from last year & outdoors is faster than indoors for 5k & he's had 1y+ more growing
he ran 13'09 altitude "wr" in nairobi in a tactical race at trials - maybe worth 12'51 outdoors - it wasn't a tt )
still, i don't think he will win
Won't that be in the next 2 years?
NONE of these guys can currently run under 12:50, and Kenenisa will NEVER run that fast again, but one of these guys should have a shot at 12:52 or so. Gebremeskel would be the most likely, but there could be another.

I am indeed a genius. NOW you people will start to listen to my observations about Galen Rupp.
You did call it perfectly. Both Bekeles were under 13. You said to watch for the two Gebs and you're the only one who was discussing Alamirew. I am becoming a believer, bro.
When are you from? Wow dude, that was perfect.

Thanks, Mike. I knew it was time for the big boys to come out and play, and I knew who the big boys are, unlike most of the posters here.

Cliff, we now must admit we've been wrong about you all along. This is the prediction of the year, hands down.

How stupid can you be? 6 guys could CURRENTLY run under 12:50 as evidence by the fact that they DID. There is a huge differnce between saying nobody has run under 12:50 and nobody CAN currently run under 12:50. Nice try. Unless you think they only developed the ability between Thursday and Friday to do so.
You had such a great opening post, only to make yourself look like the world's dumbest poster ever.

Listen moron, I wrote it would be faster than 12:53, which nobody else said. I predicted the top runners, and singled out Alamirew, who set an 12 second pb, and ran MUCH faster than Galen Rupp will ever run. I admit they ran a few seconds faster than I thought they would, but my prediction was genius, and I mean genius.

Maybe because you're the only one on letsrun who bothers to make predictions before EVERY SINGLE RACE.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I suppose for you it would be more like twice a year.

You just showed you're even more of an F'tard. You said no one could run under 12:50, 6 guys did. You did NOT single out Alamirew. Do you know what single out even means? You mentioned half the people in the race in your post, and you just asked a question, didn't actually say he'd do anything big. Few seconds faster? you mean 6 seconds? Genius? Geb/Geb were 1-2 last big race, not a shocker there.
Who can't currently run under 12:50 again?

Let's give credit where credit is due. The guy called this race beforehand.
Actually, this race validates VENTOLIN^3 much more than Jesse/Cliff/Warren/lailwah/Dejen.
VENTOLIN^3 is the one who said all of these guys could run in the 12:40's.

Are you joking? Geb/Geb went 1-2 as the other poster mentioned last race. Bek's went 13flat in that 12:58 race. We knew the race was being paced for 12:50. He asked a QUESTION about Alamirew. He predicted nothing, he just repeated what everyone already knew.
Just the facts, ma'am wrote:

No, the OP is the guy who called this race as the fastest in years and predicted the top finishers, even that 3000 stud who hadn't run 5000 well.
