I was secretly hoping this thread was about a round-house.

Absolutely. Perfection.
I got the sense Wejo may have studied the course/map a little bit, for a nice advantage. Either that or great racing sense. He choose that spot like a boss and opened up a huge gap in a moment's time.
this thread gets weird if you start to interpret it as referring to the media 800

Letsrun.com is a lot like college coaching. History repeats itself. I used to joke every year there are new freshmen, seniors, etc.
On LRC, great topics get regurgitated about once every four years. There was a nice thread on this a few years back. I don't think I'd ever seen the video until then:

I mean above the shoulders. Seriously, my head is even bigger. I can't wear an adjustable baseball cap as I'm over an eight. Guess my brain is just so big it won't fit.
True story: The first time I saw Rojo in person was at a BU indoor meet. I was so taken aback my how big his head was I came to Letsrun to make a post about it. It was promptly deleted.
sounds interesting ;)
Look at him keep trotting after he went through the finish line. He's not even breathing hard. Oooh and do you think they tested for EPO at this race?
What are Wejo's PRs? I know he has the 10k in 28:0x...but that's about it.

Yeah, WeJo - the people of letsrun want answers!
WeJo vs Sprintgeezer at 200m from blocks - who ya got?
Wejo's head size is exaggerated due to his frail tall body. There was a miler for Georgetown back in the mid-1980's Kevin King that was nicknamed "Big Head" by runners on my college team. Probably 5-10 with size 9.5 hat size.

Haha, classic. I like how he made sure to hold onto his 10 cent gardener's gloves. Wouldn't want to lose them.

Yea, 2:17 who used to run 1:51.
