Now, I expected if this was a perfect 800, he wouda gone ~ 1'42-high beforehand
( this meet obviously a disaster for everyone in field except him )
I didn't realise what a 13'20 in a tactical race for him meant
It probably means he has current "extrapolated" 5k ability of 13'00 / 13'05 flat-out
( "extrapolated", meaning like Rudy has "extrapolated 3'26 / 3'27 ability at 800 peak but more like realistic 3'35 - huge drop off in predicted ability after 1k race distance as does only 800 training )
Now, Souly probably has 47.0 current speed, which is par for most elite 1500 guys
47.00 / 13'05 ->
1'42.67
2'11.83 !!
3'27.26 !!
47.00 / 13'00 ->
1'42.45 !!
2'11.47 !!!
3'26.47 !!!
He is definitely capable of the 1k WR this year in an ideal race with small field & get to lane 1 early
I thought it strange his flash quote was :

SOULEIMAN Ayanleh
I am happy that I beat a lot of big names here in Doha, but that is my goal for this year. I want to win all the races until the end of the season including World Championship in Beijing, where I will run 1500m. This 800m is just a good preparation for my main discipline. Doha is my place. I feel here like at home
I wondered why he wasn't really interested in 800 for Peking after whupping lotta top 800 guys
Answer is, he probably is capable of running around 3'27-flat right now !!!
Do people actually believe in this pseudo math bs?
Souleiman in shape to run faster than anybody did last year, in MAY? Sure buddy. What's smoking crack and browsing the LRC message boards like? Must be a hell of a time.
