If Kiprop doesn't run hard wire-to-wire, Centro will get the gold.

Kiprop won't have to go that hard. If he does anything under 3:32 pace, Centro will be a non factor (assuming that the field also goes with 3:32 or faster pace).

You must not have seen the mile in London just yesterday where Asbel toys with the field. Asbesl can't be beaten, short of a fall...and even then, I like his chances.

Congratulations on not reading the original post.

I'm with this guy. We saw Centro come something like 10th in Monaco, an "also ran" despite PR'ing. When it's tactical, 2nd as in London. So if it's fast, Centro will be in trouble.

Centro is proven to be a more savvy racer than Kiprop (that's even with Kiprop's recent toying with the field)

Lol.

Centro is THE MAN

He WILL win GOLD. If not in 2015 WC then certainly 2016 OG.

Let there be no mistake. Centro is BY FAR the best American Miler of all time.

Ummmm...ever heard of Jim Ryun?

Lol, unless Kiprop gets injured before Beijing or falls, everyone else in the field including Centro is racing for second, no matter the pace.

Centro sprinted all out to the wire in that mile and Kiprop jogged past him while holding his breath.

Who cares what medal USADA will eventually take away.

No!!!!! He will not medal no matter what happens. Time for the nop fanboys to stop posting

Ryun was running against great runners obviously, but fact is 1500 running is incredibly deep right now, maybe the best in history ( besides guerrouj lagat era) Ryun has one olympic silver.

Centro has WC silver and Bronze and multiple US champs.

If Centro wins another medal he will be better. The main thing he's lacking is fast times.

Ryun was amazing, no doubt, and he could've gone much faster on modern tracks ( NOT 1:39 though) but if Centro gets another medal he will be the best.

I AM IN THE ATLAS MOUNTAINS LAFFING NOW AT YOUR STUPED POST!!!. YOU THINK KI[ROP AND CENTROWIZ ARE THE ONLY STRONG WARRIORS IN THE RACE IN BEJING!??!!! WATCH THE DESERT LION ROAAARRRR!!!! HE HAS BLOOD OF STEEL AND IS SMART LIKE SAND FOX!!!

KIPROP AND BABY CENTRO WILL CRY OUT WHERE IS OUR MOTHERS BREAST TO SUCKLE MILK?????!!! OR BETTER YET WHERE ARE OUR EPOS AND I WANT TO TAKE A NAP LIKE BABY!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!

No, Centro can only impose his will on lesser runners as in the American championships. As we saw in London, where Centro could have easily tried the same tactic since the pace was not fast, against runners as good or better than him he just hangs back and kicks with everybody else. He is quite good at that, as his World Championship medals attest, but he cannot run away from the best runners in the world over the last 600.

Here is a race between Taoufik Makhloufi vs Asbel Kiprop:

Can you watch it, and tell me what you see? Who has blood of steel here?

Hey Alberto. We know you are too embarrassed to post under your real name but you should be more embarrassed by this statement. Doesn't matter how slow or fast the race is Centro will not out kick Kiprop right now...or did you miss how easily he passed him this weekend.

I retired JAKIR, you should let him rest in peace. While it's flattering that you want to imitate JAKIR, your JAKIR game is weak.
