Rojo - he absolutely ran 13:13. You believe the results to be wrong? As opposed to the two stories you posted, which btw are mirror images of themselves, that say Kipsang ran 13:19. I believe in the haste of the writer, he left out GKs time and is it seems like he is saying GK ran 13:19 when in fact its just sloppy writing.
13:13 is the time!

How do you 'absolutely' know he ran it, particularliy when you post under the name 'probably.'
Here is another article from Kenya:

The Kaptagat-based Police officer won in a time of 13:19.28 after a spirited fight with Kenya Defence Forces recruit Emmanuel Kipsang who was 14 microseconds slower while world championships bronze medallist Isaiah “chairman” Koech was third in 13:35.14.
“I know Mo Farah is beatable,” said Kamworor. “We only need to plan well and ensure that our team tactics work when we go to Beijing.”
Of course you are right that the Kenyan bylines are often the same person writing under pseudonyms for different papers. Later in that article, it does say that the race wasn't close.
The star wrote:
“The race was not as competitive but I am expecting it to be tough come the final,” said Kamworor.
So now I don't know what to think.
And Kip Evans said it's 13:13 as well on twitter.
Kip Evans tweeted:
Kip Evans @Kip3vans Jul 9
Meanwhile in Nairobi, @GlobalSportsCom Geoffrey Kamworor runs an impressive 13:13!! #5000m #heats, winning over Emmanuel Kipsang (13:19).
And that tweet was retweeted by Kamworor's agent so maybe it was 13:13.
I'm not sure. I changed the title to let people know both are possible.
In trying to figure out how fast he ran, I came across this picture of Kamworor from the race.
I LOVE Kamworor's police uniform.

Attention Nike marketing people, why not have him race in that in Europe. It's distinctive and way better than the ugly purple crap you and adidas determined everyone should race in this year.
*Yawn*
Didn't Mo easily defeat that guy a few weeks ago? What has changed really?
Wake me up when WC start.
I thought Kamworor was better at 10,000. Is he trying to qualify for both?
It won't matter unless he decides to fulfill his destiny as the second coming of John Ngugi. If he won't gap Farah, nobody ever will.

Yes. These are the Kenyan champs - not the Trials. The Trials are July 31-August 1. Kenya is putting them very late this year which is what I've always advocated they do. You can't screw guys up too much in 3 weeks.
Just let the guys get themslves into shape and hold your trials as close as possible to the race.
Was Mo peaking at Pre? No. Everyone competing that night was essentially on the same phase of training. 8 weeks ago, one ran 12k xc, the other, 21k road.

When he raced Mo at Pre, he was coming off of World XC. You take two weeks off and start building up again and it's like the equivlanet of a collegian racing someone in XC in July and thinking it means something for October.
8 weeks before Pre, not 8 weeks ago.

You trust an author who doesn't know the difference between 1/100 of a second and microsecond?!
We haven't been down this path enough times yet?
Do you honestly believe Kenyan track and field is serious about testing in country? Like Russia, Jamaica, and the U.S. they freely dope in country, test to never test positive before leaving for an international meet. Russians bought never testing positive from IAAF officials with no sign the graft is addressed.
You cannot take an in-country performance seriously. Certainly not now.
It does´t matter what the other runners do before the championships as long as they behave like a bunch of idiots as soon as they step onto the same track as Farah.
Also at the Kenyan championships today 19 year old Timothy Cheruiyot ran 3:32.25

This is wrong. Farah set a 2-mile record this year. That sounds like very different preparation than everyone else.

It was tweeted by someone else that result is wrong the 1500 was won by Elijah Manogogi in 3:38.91

Unless he's got more balls then the current Kenyan or Ethiopian runners he will have little chance
They are all content to let Mo dictate slow races
I am watching the IAAF world challenge league-Madrid on beIN sport and the commentator has just said that Geoffrey Kipsang ran 13:13.
That is now settled.
It was 13:13.

Personally speaking, the name I post under is rarely relevant to the content of my message.
