just before zurick where he ran 3.32 he did
400:easy 54"
600: 1'21"
800: 1'50"
500:fast 1'05
that s why his time are not good for the moment,he wants the first place and want to be in shape only for the games.

Baala will compete for bronze against Webb, Heshko, Korir, Songkok and Willis. Lagat vs ELG is the highlight of the games!
Baala has run 1:43 for 800 and was a step behind El G at Worlds last year.He only peaks for the biggest races.The reality is that it might be Lagat Vs.Baala for the gold.Most people on here would say this is crazy.But the Olympic 1500 very different than all of the golden league and even the world champs.
You are right!! seriously
bahla vs lagat!!!
Even hicham el guerouge tells: that he is scared by bahla,that he should be the next favorite when he will stop the 1500m.
wait and see
Baala is a fine athlete - but with his upright running style he doesn't generate nearly the forward push and momentum of El G or Lagat in the last stages of a race - this is not to say that he can't win - but that he just isn't as efficient as those two - and the margin for inefficiencies isn't all that great at this stupendous world class level
400m:45.8 and 800:1.43 for bahla!! you think that he is not able to finish fast.And he is still young,he is improving a lot!
What the crap? "Bahla" vs. Lagat? I've never ever heard of this "Bahla" guy, but I've heard of Baala and to say that he is more favored that El G is blind prejudice against El G... umm hello, for starters El G has lost three (1500m) races in the last 8 years, two of them this year because of allergies. He has them under control. He has run like FOUR seconds faster than Baala this year. I'm sure El G respects and "fears" Baala just as he fears Songok and the other "second tier" competitors, but until they run 3:26.00 and beat El G (Baala has never even beaten El G other than that flukey El G 8th place earlier this year!), none of them are competitors like Lagat.
Wang - agree with your points - Lagat just ran 3:27 - and with his bronze in 2000 will feel like he belongs at the top - as will of course El G -
Baala is a great runner, but will have to step up to a level not yet attained - El G and Lagat will assuredly just scorch the last 800 to make the race "smaller" (likely with some help from their countrymen in the final), and that's a place that only El G and Lagat have been before.
bahla beat 2 times lagat last years!!and his PR is 3.28,he is improving a lot!!
Bahla and hicham trained together the last month at ifrane,that s why hicham knows that bahla has the possibility to finish first.
baala Pr: 3.28
that's great!
tell me what's webb's PR guys?
if el g gets one of his team mates in the final with him then it wont be too different to a golden league race, so el g and lagat, it will be fast, if that doesnt happen then all the guys how have run around 3.30 and maybe 3.32 have a chance of a medal. el g ahs lost 2 olympic finalas the pressure is on. how often has the favourite won the olympic 1500, its probably the most unpredicatble race in the programe
webb: 3.32,73
