Makhloufi

It´s between Willis and Kiprop. I say Willis.

Makhloufi has the change of pace which could be fatal. I would love Kiprop to win, he is a great guy - but li a championship race Kiprop's nerves often lower his outcome.

Taoufik, from Soukh Ahras - near the Tunisian border - in Algeria. His coach - Aden - knows how to prepare his athletes for the big occasion

Ghost in Khon Khaen, Thailand

Yes, by doping them

I'm right here. I think that it will be Kiprop and then either Kiplagat or Makhloufi. I think that Kiplagat has a better shot at second. I think that Makhloufi will get bronze. I don't think Centro will be a factor. He seems to think that he will but I don't.

If Centro does turn out to be a factor, we expect to hear the lion's roar of the real JAKIR.

Centro is trash and looked like a clown. He can't place in a race this stacked. He doesn't have a shot in Rio if it's anything like this race.

"Such a pity Lalou (the Moroccan) is serving a ban at this time. Lalou often served as pace maker during his sessions on the track with Taoufik Makhloufi."

- birds of a feather...

He's trash? He doesn't have a shot? He's been top 4 twice. Shit happens brother. Did anybody think Leo could medal before he did? Guys get hurt, guys get injured, guys get tired through the rounds.

Not saying that he WILL medal, but I am saying that he CAN medal. It's not inconceivable that a 3:30 guy can beat a 3:28/9 guy in the third round of a championship race. Heck, it's not even far fetched.

Makh daddy went 39.3 the last 300 in his London win FWIW. Physical race there, and almost every big name was not good on the day. Here, he ran faster, but everyone closed strongly and it was an improved field.

He went into the WCs talking shit about running for the win and all of this bs. He got his doors blown off in the last lap. He set a PB this summer but in a field this strongest going to take a lot of luck for him to be in contention. There were at least six guys in this final with a PB faster than his and at least two other guys who have run 3:30. If Rio is anything like that, he doesn't have a great chance of medaling. He's a cocky prick and got his ass handed to him today.

You must have spoken to him personally, because I never saw any interviews where he was talking shit and I certainly didn't see evidence of him being cocky or a prick leading up to these championships.

I thought your JAKIR thing was a joke, but I'm now realizing it was a way for you to secretly be a hater and a dick and pretend it was a big joke.

Talk about being a prick....

There was a fairly lengthy piece interviewing Mayt that I read from a link on this site. This mentioned piece elicited the very same things that jakir mentioned. Just because you didn't read it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. That's kind of the height of arrogance, dude. Someone please find the link with centro blowing all his smoke so that this guy can come back and apologize. I'm telling you, this site is CRAZY. Can you imagine someone speaking to others like the way people do here face to face? Nope, neither can I.
