Who wins.

Komen had 5 seconds on Bekele and was a 3:29 1500 man. He would blow Bekele's doors off.
Time, 7:32, because no one wants to take the lead.
both clean? Bekele. dirty/normal Komen
Hard to imagine Kenny going out at that suicidal pace and hanging with Komen. Love that race video and the commentators' stunned disbelief at the splits.
i vote komen, by about 1 second.
Sure, because a thread about a theoretical race is not at all speculative.
Komen wins, doesn't even have to break his record. Make it 4k and things are interesting.
Gotta go with Komen at a 3k. The guy was a maniac.

^This. I was going to post the exact same thing.
Komen, no question.
Komen still wins a 4k handily and I'd take him in a 5k head to head race on the basis of having a pr only 2 seconds slower than Bekele and having more 1500 speed (3:29 vs 3:31)

Saying Komen wouldn't beat Bekele over 3000 is like those people who say global warming is "just a theory."
I consider this and I agree.

That makes no sense. How would he beat someone who is 2 seconds faster than him? Seems like he would lose by 2 seconds.
