What do you guys think? Can he break 13? 27?

His form is ridiculous! his 3000m PR is 7:49.95 ,doubt that he can run low 7-40
If he trained specifically for the events, I'm sure he could run under 12:55. 7:55 steeple is incredible tough, and he has awesome closing speed at 600m and 300m.
He's said a few times that after this Olympics he wants to focus on the marathon. We'll see what kind of flat distance running he can do in the next year or two.
he's probably in 12:50 shape
not sure, but I'd love to see him take a stab at it!

lol
Based on what Saif Shaheen and Moses Kiptanui ran, I'm pretty sure he could run under 13:00. Maybe around 12:50-12:55.
He can close a steeple in 55 over barriers so I bet he could close a 5k or 10k over the flat in 53 or so. That's good enough to medal. I'm sure if he ever misses the kenyan steeple team that he'd enter the 5k at their trial. I'm not so interested in seeing him run a time trial. He's a much better championship racer.
