eh ???
you don't seem to have much clue
never seen claim of injury
he had fastest pb by far but got thumped
logic indicates there were some seriously fast 10k guys in trials who have not had a "brussels-'11" to show some semblance of their great 10k ability
err...
trying to analyse his 10k ability by his 5k sbs is clearly nonsense
his 12'55pb was set in same year he had a nonsense 27'33sb !!!
he had a 12'58sb year his 10k sb was 28'15 in nairobi !!!
clearly that 13-flat sb in 26'43 season tells us nothing about his "true" 5k ability in '11 !!!
no
you do
some of kenyans have very, very fast intrinsic 10k abilty, certainly 26'30 or better for some, but they have never tried to run him into the ground from the gun
maybe not if it is ~ 26'30 pace to bell
that is only way to beat mo
so ?
i'll contemplate him small mulligan that the heat/humidity was too much for him in korea
more likely is that he sensed lotta guys were in intrinsic 26'30/26'40 shape that day & he realised he wasn't going to beat them
he quit
