I'd still be afraid. What's Farah and Rupp run in Paris?

That was Bekele's fastest race of the year.
that they could have run faster in that kind of a race...
Well, it's probably hard to be encouraged after an ass whooping like that. But Bekele continues to improve and runs comfortably under 13. He's still a contender if he can sharpen up a little.

It all depends what Farah and Rupp would have done in a race like that. Bekele got smoked, but it doesn't mean they would be.
lololol this made me a laugh a lot, thank you OP
Honestly, I bet they are delighted... after tonight, Kenny wont be in the 5000m come the Olympics.
fool, bekele will close the olympic 10k in 12'55
correct. they are prob pumped as bekele won't be on the 5k squad at this juncture. 10k only.

Wasn't it 2003 World Champs 10k where they closed in like 12:57? Then again, Bekele looked a lot better then than he does now... but I'm still on board.
Dam
I would have broke 20 in this race
Isn't the 10,000 finished before the 5,000 starts?

On the other hand, six guys in the race today ran faster than Rupp or Farah ever have.
Rupp, Farah and Bekele if he makes the OG team are not the favorites.
Ethiopia only gets three spots in the 5000m and three Ethiopians SPANKED Bekele today.
Farah is definitely a favorite.
My money is definitely on k. bekele
Bekele will be chosen for both the 10k and 5k. Look at Haile in 2008...over the hump and a long shot for any medal but the ethiopian selectors still chose him. Here you have Bekele coming off a long period of injury and he's improving at a rapid pace...with a month to go until the Olympic 10k/5k....get real people...Bekele will be on the team in London.
get it done Jos.
I think KB will be listed to run the 5k thinking they can scratch him if they want to.

Four of those six guys were at Prefontaine and were handily beat by Farah. Rupp beat three of them.
